This is our introduction from our blog
Hello everyone. My name is Isla, and I am a wife in a polygynous marriage. My sister wives and I are creating this blog in hopes of sharing our experiences and lessons we have learned with families who are interested in leading a polygynous or traditional life similar to the lives our ancestors led.
This lifestyle is characterized by total devotion to our Creator and our husband. Our husband is our head and the four of us are his arms and legs, together we make up the body of our family. Our husband gives us mental, emotional, physical and financial support. He protects us from that which would mean us harm. He accepts responsibility for our actions before our creator and he promises to set our happiness and well being as a higher priority than his own. In return we give him our complete devotion, unconditional love and obedience.
Of course those who don't know or care what our creator requires of women and they believe that we are brainwashed, abused, mentally ill or mentally disabled. None of that is true. He had a monogamous marriage with my sister wife Jessica and it was she and I who asked him to accept responsibility for me and love in exchange for anything and everything that I have to offer. Likewise, it was the two of us that asked him to accept Talisa into our home as our equal and the three of us that petitioned him to take Angalena, our fourth sister wife into our relationship. Beyond this information, we are not here to defend our life choices to strangers, nor will we ask you to defend your life choices to us.
We are here to share our knowledge and experiences to help those who wish to follow a path similar to ours. Many of our posts will be about our experiences as sister wives but the insight shared could be applied to any loving relationship. We hope that you will be blessed by something that we share.
Our lives have an ever evolving cast of characters but today I will concentrate on our immediate family.
Jericho - Our doting husband has a fist of iron and a heart of gold. He will do anything that he can to help his fellow man but he has no patience for bad behavior. He's our gentle giant, 6'5" tall and nearly 300 pounds with broad shoulders and an athletic build we feel as safe with him as we would if we lived in the walled city that carried the name before him. He has an extensive background as a professional fighter, bodyguard and security agent. He wasn't always on the right side of the law but thankfully YHWH blessed him with the ability to stay on the right side of the grass. Today he works with the family businesses, oversees the daily operations of our farm and teaches martial arts. Abuse victims never pay for his services and behind his leadership we donate tons of food annually to the less fortunate.
Jessica - The eldest of the four women, Jessica is Jericho's connection to his passionate side. Because of this he calls her his body. All of us are much younger than he is and it was Jessica that taught him to accept us all in spite of our age, as we have no control over our date of birth but we all have proven maturity beyond our years. She is the one that reminds him that while we are all followers of our creator, we're also women that need his passionate love and affection. We are here as his gifts from God and he should enjoy his gifts. Quick to provide humor, Jessica reminds us all not to take ourselves too seriously. We all love each other equally but Jessica is my best friend. Her girl next door beauty and huge brown eyes are always ready for Jericho to lose himself in those eyes and leave today's problems behind as he daydreams about the future that we will all share. Jessica is a world class chef with no formal training she has won many awards with her cooking skills and her dishes command to dollar through our catering service, food trucks and restaurants. She is the mother of one son born 10/15/2024 and is currently hoping to become pregnant again soon.
Talisa - Native American from the Muscogee nation, Talisa towers over most women at 5'10" and wears heels everywhere she goes. Her name is Muscogee for Beautiful Waters and she lives up to it. She is the only one of us that is physically able to look at Jericho eye to eye and that serves a purpose quite often, allowing him to get lost in her beautiful eyes when his soul is tormented by memories of past evils. She is second oldest and looks as if she was peeled from the pages of a magazine. She's the picture of poise and decorum but she's a ruthless business woman and is by Jericho's side offering her insight and talents in business matters. In Jericho's absence we look to Talisa as our guide to keeping him happy because she is most in touch with him mentally. Because of this he calls Talisa his mind. She is the mother of a 5 year old son and a daughter that was born 10/16/2024, less than 24 hours after Jessica's son.
Angalena - Also known as Angie, she is the youngest of us, the smallest and the most gentle. At 5'1" and barely 100 pounds, Angie looks diminutive compared to the man she loves but nobody told her she's 5'1", she thinks she's 7 feet tall and if you were looking at her accomplishments instead of directly at her you might believe it too. With a whisper in the ear and a kiss on the cheek she can instantly pull Jericho from any gloomy or angry mood. She is becoming a skilled martial artist and teaches martial arts to children and beginning adults. Second only to Jessica in the kitchen she was taught her cooking and home making skills from the same people that taught Jessica as they grew up in the same area. Because of her gentle nature, Jericho views Angie as the personification of his soul and hopes that as the representative of his soul she will continue making it more gentle. Because of her gentle nature Angie handles greeting clients and customers with our businesses. She is Talisa's best friend and is learning the workings of all of our businesses endeavors because as our family and businesses grow Talisa increasingly needs assistance in the office. Angie is currently pregnant with her first child.
Isla - That's me. Also a Native daughter of the Muscogee tribe I am a hopeless romantic and an expert martial artist simultaneously. I look into our husband's eyes and see my future unfold. I encourage and strengthen him with my dreams of what the future holds for us all and the legacy that the five of us will leave behind. Because of this he calls me his heart. I teach yoga and martial arts to advanced students and I assist Angie with customer service. I am able to anticipate a customer's needs and give it to them ensuring a five star rating for us. I will probably do most of the writing in this blog but every entry will bear the mark that we each will put upon it. I am the mother of one son, born October 15, 2024, less than three hours after Jessica's son. Yes, the three of us delivered babies within 24 hours.
I hope that we can share our happiness as well as some of the lessons that we have learned with the help of our heavenly Father's eternal wisdom.
Until next time, may YHWH bless every person who sets their eyes upon this writing.
