my home and my family had been destroyed in the war in the east of Ukraine. So I came to Germany. It is a wounderful country, but I miss family. I feel very lonley and unsafe. Some weeks ago I met a mormon family. they told me lots about polygamy and that it is the best way (only way?) to a strong family.

I would like to learn more about it and talk to people who live it
 
Hi and welcome to Biblical Families. There's lots of information here about all aspects of marriage and family so you'll find answers to your questions as you read. Take your time and enjoy the journey.
 
I am sorry to read of your home and family being destroyed - what a terrible thing to go through. I don’t think the advice the Mormon family gave you is accurate though. The best way to a strong family is to put God first and to serve Him in all your ways. Like others here, I think one way this is manifest here and now is through patriarchal families which follow God’s design. Not every family should consist of more than one wife, but that is a valid option. Some husbands that take on multiple wives destroy their marriages, though I would say this is either because the husband or one of the wives is not truly seeking God OR the husband or one of the wives is not ready for the responsibility of a patriarchal plural marriage. Anyhow, the point is really this: seek God first. If you aren’t married, and you seek to be married, seek a man who puts God first in his life, not a man who puts you first. If he happens to already have a wife, then recognize this is a valid option that brings considerable blessings into the lives of many.
 
Shalom and welcome.

Welcome to biblical families!

I suspect most here might hesitate to reccomend polygamy, not because there is anything wrong with the practice, but because most don't have a biblically structured marriage that can handle the stress of an addition.

Should you find a couple/family that is the exception to the modern rule, it is an option to consider.

I hope you find the information you seek and get a better idea of the feasability and also the challenges that accompany a polygynous marriage.

If you look at your own experience of your family and others you have known through your life, you will quickly realise that you know many examples of strong monogamous families. So you already know polygamy is not the only way to a strong family. It's also arguable that it is the best way - it's more complicated than monogamy, so more likely to fail.
However, for the right people, when God leads it, it will result in a stronger family due to the larger team being able to support each other through any problem ('a cord of three strands is not easily broken').

If you are lonely and hurting, first seek comfort in God. He will then lead you to a husband if that is part of His way of comforting you.

I'd be glad to discuss this further with you. I've been watching the sad situation in eastern Ukraine for years, from both sides, and it would be good to talk to someone who's actually been there.
 
my family was not strong enough to stand it. of course I dont know if it would have been easier in a poly marriage
 
I am sad to hear that, sorry I misunderstood. However, your family was living in a situation far more difficult than most families ever have to deal with. So whatever happened, it may be understandable.

A strong polygamous family should be able to cope with such situations better, as it is a larger team. But a weak polygamous family may be more likely to fall apart under such stress, as any existing tension may be amplified. The fundamental question is not polygamy vs monogamy, but rather the attitude of the individuals involved - are they truly committed to each other and to God regardless of the circumstances? How deep is that commitment?
 
Shalom and welcome

I went to Google Translate, it says it's Russian it pretty much quoted the same thing in English, and I still don't know what it says. LOL
