Greetings from South Africa

Hooray, another Southern Hemisphere-er! Welcome, from Australia.

My story is similar. This revelation can shake a woman to her core, and if her emotions trump reason, no amount of argument from scripture will be convincing, because she doesn't want to be convinced.

I am nearly 5 years down the road of silently waiting for her to be ready to hear this truth. I believe love and patience will do what what rash fire cannot.

Shalom

Hi There
I came upon this site after much online searching regarding PM. I discovered this truth a couple of years ago after much searching for truth in the Scriptures. The truth has been progressive from Sabbath, to set apart names, to Festivals and now to PM. My wife has been with me all the way up until the latest discovery which she vehemently opposes so much so that she does not care what the Scriptures have to say on this subject. I have read somewhere on this forum that one of the brothers had his wife divorce him because he spoke up in favour of this subject and I do not want to fall into the same trap!

Now that I am a bit older and have more experience of life under the belt I have decided to approach this subject with caution and to not openly speak about it because 99.9% of westernised men and women find it offensive and regard it to be the marriage of choice for 3rd world savages and muslim extremists who exploit women. This is definitely not a subject that one wants to defend on a public platform without taking extensive collateral damage to one's family & reputation. Hence my joining this forum to try and learn from others who have trodden this path before me.....

Shalom, Flash. So what Sabbath do you keep? My husband and I had the same progression to PM. It dawned on me one night in Bible study that if the law of Moses was not done away with, that meant the laws allowing PM were not done away with, either. That was quite a night. I laughed at how YHUH really does hide things for Kings to search out. Needless to say I could not wait until my husband woke up the next morning to tell him what had been revealed to me. I don't know that YHUH revealed it to me because my husband is meant to have more than one wife, it could be for one or more of our children, but I would rejoice if our family did grow through PM. It could be that YHUH just has to reveal it to those who will be judging others according to Torah when they rule and reign with Him. Your wife probably assumed your conclusion was the result of your desire to take a younger, better woman to replace her. She may have feelings of inadequacy and she may need to hear that you are content with the wife of your youth. We all know we have a tendency to interpret Scripture to say what we want it to say. I'm sure she assumed that was the case here. I probably would have to if it would have been my husband coming to me with this revelation and not the other way around.
 
Shalom Flash, I hope your wife will humble herself and submit to any plans G-d gives you.

Welcome to Biblical familes. I have believed polygyny going on 33 years now. I have seen others have positive experiences, but for me not so. Maybe it’s because I’m more like Joshua in the Bible. I have spent a lot of time alone. I have mellowed though. I have been disowned and disinherited by family. My life threatened, called a pervert, and threatened to be turned into a steer. So, maybe it’s me. Just appreciate BFs as a great place for acceptance. 30 years ago I couldn’t imagine this. This is such a blessing for all, but especially the young ones.

Yeah.... this has been the summer of separation for us. The price has been high, but have found a few true friends that have not abandoned us..

Really, really looking forward to the retreat!
