I'm not saying that men in polygynous marriages need to be lazy, but the fact that there are so many choices available to women, it makes the effort to keep and hold what he's got more difficult. He should love and serve his wives because it's commanded in scripture, but not because he feels like any of his brides might pack up and go. If society revered staying in a marriage as much as it did marriage celebrations, I don't think polygyny (or monogamy for that matter) would be so strenuous.
Agree. The strength of men to not let the affairs of the world distract them from there responsiblity to the women in their lives is the only way to turn this around.
