I would say the opposite
Really, most of Solomon's wives come from a culture that worshipped Molech. You know what happens to children who's parents worship moloch? Not family oriented.

I agree he had a lot of wives but I wonder if God had given him a gift to manage his house so well that Godly ladies saw skill and knowledge and wisdom well beyond any man that lived at that timeSolomon as a king could afford to provide food clothes and shelter, but there is no way he could do right by that many women after initially consummating the marriage.....or actually teach and raise the children even if each wife only had one. So certainly his priorities were political not familial in nature, and his marriage practices should not be duplicated in an attempt to be wise or live righteously.

Better question: Is Solomon a picture of the Messiah, but evidence that someone more than human must fill the role? Consider the parable of the ten virgins... some go in, some do not. With Solomon, some were wives and many were concubines. How like the church with some true inheritors and many straphangers. And, the foreign v native born picture. Do we assimilate to the Messiah and follow Him or do things our own way and bring our rules and idols into the house?
Many great/deeper pictures here.
Sorry. It was a joke.you.took my qoue out of context
