Perhaps we need to focus more on which relationships are sinful and which are not(?) A piece of paper purchased from some government office doesn't change God's condemnation of any sinful relationship. And sin remains sin despite public opinion and government sanction.
I can't stop laughing at this, no matter how many times I scroll through and see it, it's always hilarious.
Because sisters marrying the same man are Mythical creatures 'round these parts. Ya'll deserve more than a real person tag, you need something with unicorns and fairies.So how come NickF has a real person tag and we don't? Lol that seems like favoritism..just saying..
Actually my husband has been saying he wants a trophy for that lol he said he's gonna talk to Samuel about it

I second this. The Pease Trophy should award 1,000 points for marrying sisters. It should also probably subtract a certain number of points for marrying cousins…..
OK, if marrying sisters is enviable (and I agree that it is), I fail to see any train of logic that would identify marrying cousins as unenviable. Depending on one's predilections and biases, one might promote more or less points for cousins, but surely one wouldn't need to be punished for it!
If you don't mind, please send me a private message to let me know who you are, or, alternatively, have your husband contact me. I don't recognize the username. Thanks!
Nice profile pic!
I also think that the insurance company’s lobbied hard. They didn’t want the payouts that come with a large family. Certainly didn’t want to payout for more than one family under the same policy. You know they had bean counters do the math. And face it they (insurance co.) are in it for profit not to take care of the insured
I think the concern is if they're YOUR cousins......OK, if marrying sisters is enviable (and I agree that it is), I fail to see any train of logic that would identify marrying cousins as unenviable.

Personally, while I find the point system amusing, I think if one were to take it entirely seriously something closer to 100 points should be the maximum. I just checked the 'standings,' and 1000 points would vault anyone with biological sister wives up to the top without otherwise breaking a sweat.
Of course, maybe I'm misinterpreting the motivation. Is James (or The Revolting Man) asserting that being married to two biological sisters some kind of tremendous burden? I have to ask, because, from the outside, it appears to me to be otherwise -- and, by the reactions I heard and otherwise observed from other men at the retreat, it seems pretty clear to me that the envy factor is much larger than the notion that anyone wouldn't want to be in James' shoes.
Therefore, all things considered, I'd encourage 100 points for sisters -- 50 for the accomplishment, and another 50 for properly avoiding the vexxing dynamic -- and 50 points for first-cousins, 25 for second-cousins!
(that's how I saw it, too)
I have a cousin my husband would have been interested in. She is beautiful, talented, sweet, good with children, family oriented and still living at home in her 30's.
Apples and oranges.
Your cousins,?! TFF it’s okay if your from WV.
