What do I need to know about being in a relationship with more then one woman. Do I get married to one before the other or marry both at the same time? There's so many thoughts about plural marriage that I don't know where to start. I know I need to be faithful, have a good job and be supported to my spouses and our children. But where do I began, How can I meet someone interested in wanting to be my wife and not minding another woman being in the picture. Thanks for helping me out, and if this is the wrong thread to post this I'm sorry.

Huge subject, John. Read through the historical stuff on the lists and you'll find a lot.

Yes! :lol:

Up to you and them. If you meet and marry two at once, fine. If one at a time, equally fine.

Aside from reading here, I'd suggest ...
a) Goto BF retreats and get acquainted with folks.
b) Do more getting acquainted via phone, e-mail, PMs here, and in person,
c) Pray a lot. Each of us has a different (and generally pretty entertaining) story. God does and will lead. He may also have some overhaul work to do in your life before He considers you safe to entrust with the hearts of 2 of His daughters. He sure has on me.

How can I meet someone interested in wanting to be my wife and not minding another woman being in the picture.

How do you meet women "normally"? This is just one difference that separates those you meet into those you might pursue and those you won't.

Beyond that, I'd recommend being really, really open about the fact that, contrary to most guys nowadays, you are ALL about commitment to your family, which you expect to eventually include one OR MORE wives. Courting a girl with her thinking you are both heading towards lifelong monogamy, and then springing PM on her once you've got her heart (and/or body) deeply committed is just plain wrong, unloving, and a nasty trick. Doesn't tend to work out well either.
 
Feel free to PM me any time. I'll get you my e-mail & phone# and we can talk.
