SALT LAKE CITY – Utah has decided to legalize polygamy for all its citizens.
Utah lawmakers have decided to move forward with a bill that would legalize polygamy.
Current Utah Law (Article 3) states that ”polygamous or plural marriages are forever prohibited.” But according to Article 3, you can hold whatever religious beliefs you want. Utah will never prosecute you for your religious beliefs. However being a polygamist and acting upon your beliefs is completely out of the question.
That’s been the conundrum for Utah lawmakers… until now. “We have to change the laws to match the beliefs of our citizens and a man having more than one wife, just makes sense!”, said Utah Speaker of the house, Blake Smith (D).
Over the years, authorities have looked the other way with regard to polygamous behavior and have instead focused on any abuse of children, kidnapping or any other domestic abuse.
Under current Utah Law bigamy is a felony of the third degree.
The news of the new Utah bill coincides with TLC airing its new reality show, Sister Wives, about a man with three wives – and soon a fourth – and his 12 kids.. The man, Kody Brown. says, “polygamy is just another word for paradise.”
The husband is happy. The wives are happy. The children are polite and helpful.  “It’s perfect, it’s heaven,” said Brown. “Variety is the spice of life and… I am enjoying my life.”
Advertising salesman Brown lives somewhere in Utah with Meri, his wife of 20 years, Janelle, his wife of 17 years, and Christine, his wife of 16 years. “I like marriage, and I’m a repeat offender,” he says.
He identifies himself as Mormon, though he is not a member of the mainstream faith that has banned “the lifestyle,” he notes. “The lifestyle.” You’ll hear that expression tossed around a lot in the one-hour premiere.
The wives are the biggest advocates, arguing it guarantees security to their children. If one of them were to die, the other wives would step in to raise the kids. The extended clan lives in a large house that is subdivided into separate but adjoining apartments for each of the wives and their children.
“Look, it’s better for women to share one stable, solid, good man than to be with a no-good man who can’t even support himself.  It’s the way the world is supposed to work. Women want men with money, power and status and men want variety and beauty.  Polygamy is the natural way for human beings to mate, have a family,” said Monica Creighton, another polygamist in Utah.
Utah lawmakers hope to have the bill ready to be signed by Governor Gary R. Herbert by December. They expect a large influx of new residents.
1 persons personal comment means that such a law will passed? Lets have a little intergrity in the media
Good for Kody Brown! He is better with women than TIger Woods. Tiger just gets them all in bed, this guy convinces them to all live together, take care of his kids, and that this is good for them to have sister wives! Kody Brown is a better salesman than Obama
I am all set to settle in Utah! Hallelujah!!
This comment must be from a man…………….
This is a man that can't keep his "thing" in his pants. Why is it that you only see men doing this and not women. Men have egos that need get out of control. This is ILLEGAL for a reason. Thank god the rest of the U.S. doesn't feel this way. What is it with Mormans and having huge families. Shame on these women for allowing him to do this. What makes you think that you need a man in your life. Can you not support yourself? Having more than one wife is NOT normal you idiot. You just like the fact that you can have sex with more than one woman while being "married" and get away with it.
There are more wonem involved in polygamy than men…..?
@ get real What is the reason it is illegal?? It is normal in many countries. Not everyone loves the same as you do or even thinks the way you do…again another small mind that says, "if you don't believe what I believe you are an idiot." Why do you care anyway?
I would go nuts! One nagging wife is enough for me. I can't imagine 4 of them. This poor man has to put up with PMS every week from one of them.
Wow…..What is wrong with TLC and the supporting watchers? The support that has given this show "good" ratings and a move on a bill to legalize this totally immoral lifestyle is absurd! The Lord made ADAM and EVE, NOT Adam and 3+ Eves to live and love happily ever after! I am ashamed of TLC for airing such nonsense. The impact this will have on our young troubled and vulnerable children deeply saddens me.
Committed, Happy, & Loving Wife
Illinois
its filthy
I don't believe this life style to be immoral, everyone has a right to choose for themselves what they want and how they want to live. Just because it goes against your opinions doesn't make it immoral, it makes it different. People are interested in watching the Brown family just because you don't once again doesn't make it nonsense. You should stop criticizing anyone who enjoys the show, and leave the degrading comments alone.
i'm not very sure, but sometimes i wish to have a co-wife.
If he can have multiple wives, why can't they bring in another husband??? That just might rock Kody's boat! LOL
polygamy is another word for paradise?…yeah maybe for the man in the relationship. that is absolutely disgusting and degrading to women. no matter how okay a woman may be with the situation there should not be a day to be jealous of your husband having sex with another women. thats wrong. how can you even form a bond when something isnt sacred. sex shouldnt be thrown around and thats all that man is doing. good for you for making it work. i think its a load of bull and your show is just about as staged as your life. no one with a brain wants their husband sleeping around with other women. thats a good example to give your children too..basically you're telling them its okay to be walked all over and disrespected. way to be
Honestly, you have no right to say wether or not their lif is wrong to them. And you do not speak for every women. I am a woman in a monogamist relationship, but if my husband ever wanted to marry someone else I would say ok let me meet her and get to know her then i might say yes. Its WAAAY more honest than cheating on me. Or divorcing me and leaving us for a new family and just constantly do it over and over. Think about it for a minute. would you rather be in an honest relationship where you share your husband but have someone else who knows exactly what your going thru at all times, or have him divorce you and/or constantly cheat on you with this woman? If the wife is cool with it, let it be. Don't say they are wrong you don't walk in their shoes.
live and let live……
the forfathers of our faith practiced it so why shouldnt we be allowed to??????
To the objectors i have a question, do you care as much about polygamy as you do about a cheating spouse. What about gays. Sound to me like you have a selective moralety.
Having more than one wife is not upto the husband, and having more than one husband is not upto the wife but the spouse.
So get over you self righteousness
I want to move there and have multiple husbands! Woohoo! LOL
I have to say that it amazes me how liberal people are about two men marrying each other but are disgusted by a man having more than one wife. I sure wouldn't be in that kind of relationship, but I can't ignore that the Old Testiment is loaded with polygamy and God never critisized it. I am surprised that the ACLU isnt jumping on the bandwaggon and "fighting for the rights" of polygamists. If polygamists "marry" an under-age person then that is a whole seperate issue. Child molestation is a seperate matter.
go utah
personally, i could never let my man, much less my husband have something to do with another woman. But do not preach to someone about morality until you live your life by every rule you set for society. If you have ever done something that you become ashamed of because you see it as immoral, then do not judge this man. He chooses this lifestyle, and his wives seem happier than 99 percent of the monogamous wives i know.
"only god shall judge me" – & do not put yourself in God's place.
^ and im sorry that this type of acceptance has to come from a fifteen year old.
I PERSONALLY AS A FEMALE WOULDNT PLACE MYSELF IN THAT POSITION, HAVING A HUSBAND AND MULTIPLE WIVES… iM NOT AGAINST IT EITHER, I RESPECT OTHERS OPINIONS AND BELIEVES… SOOO IF THATS WHAT FLOATS HIS BOAT GO AHEAD!! IT BOTHERS NO ONE IN ANY WAY, SO IDK WHY PPL GET SO DAMN OFFENDED OR WHATEVERS!
I think that women need to not let this happen, cause the kids are more important. I think if you have to many kids then when are you going to have time to spend with them when they need you the most. They are the ones you are hurting. Daddy gets all the fun why Mommy raises them. Respect the kids is this what you want them to think they have more than one mommy and only one Daddy. I think the kids are the ones suffering. If you want to this that find but leave the kids out of it. I think that we should not allow this to happen. The world is diffrent and you dont have to marry more than one woman, and what about all the stds going around the house. I for one dont want a std and i know that you guys dont want it either so why let him have more than one partner. He be the one to give to all of you cause he cant control his needs to one woman. My family is the most important thing in my live and i would never allow my man to go to bed with another woman.
Concerned……..if you're so worried about the welfare of children, perhaps you should be getting on "Octomom's" case and not polygamous families who have multiple wives to mother them. Aside from Octomom putting outsiders on the payroll, she also has to recruit the older children to assist in looking after them, which is clearly harmful to the older kids, to be "parentalized" in such a way,….but perfectly legal in the eyes of the law.
First of all, let me just come out and say that I am a polygamist and a university graduate with a PhD in orthodox theology. That being said, I find it almost shameful how this argument always seems to fall into one of three categories of argument. The first is that it is harmful to women (to their emotional development, self esteem, etc.). The second argument is that it is harmful to children in regard to being neglected and emotionally confused. The third and final argument is that polygamy is right or wrong because homosexuality is right or wrong. The latter philosophy leads to comments like the one made by goopf "If he can multiple wives, why can't they bring in another husband?" However the flaw in all of these arguments, be they development health issues or questions of moral rightness is simply this; Polygamy is a by product of a Judo-Christian belief system, one that was founded thousands of years before any of us were born or even before societies had the bad habit of determining what is OK to be on T.V. or OK for a man or WOMAN to do in their own home. This belief system by merit of the fact that it is accepted by faith by those who follow it and by the fact that outside of "marriage" it has a code of ethics of right or wrong of and to itself, means that the practice of polygamy in America, if abiding by all other public safety laws, should not be a question of social fairness or moral goodness.It rather should be a question of the religious rights of free consenting Americans of legal age. Furthermore I say this; There was a time when the American government and people persecuted and hated the Amish. The arguments of lawmakers, at that time, were the same as the arguments about polygamy today. Eventually though however, the Amish were accepted as a sub culture and the social convention become that they are a minority with the right to practice their own beliefs. Despite what you or anyone else, including the government, may think about it, polygamist should be granted the full rights of any American person. The right to believe anything they wish, and the right to act on those beliefs as long as it is not dangerous to the public as a whole. The Amish have the right to home school their children, without the benefit of modern technology to insure the truthfulness of their educational system. They have the right to give birth with the help of mid wives in a country house rather than in a hospital with doctors (putting the mothers and child's life in danger in case something goes wrong) and so it should be with polygamist, the right to carry on their family true to THEIR religious conscience (with the exception of child molestation or forced marriage).
I totally agree with you man. Rock on.. Should I remind those ignorant's the most famous quotes in the declaration of independence? it says "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." We are all human beings with rights, even if the law is not on our side, respect is what the USA is all about.
Multiple husbands? We already have a variation of this called Babydaddy. Some women have many babydaddies, one for each of the children they have. My only question is why are many of them not collecting child support. If they pick many nice babydaddies with good jobs, they could have ample financial security. This would include beautiful homes. fine schools for the children, healthy food, nice clothes, vacations and entertainment allowance. This is a fine alternative compared to the poverty conditions that is provided by the welfare system.
The Bible clearly states that you will be the husband of only ONE wife. How can you argue with that. Or, do we twist things just a little to fit the life style we want? I guess we will find out on judgement day.
poligamy is a choice, if your happy doing it than thats your choice, though i dont believe in the way some poligimist compunds are run, marrying off girls under 18 and forceing them to marry a man that a. they dont love and b. they dont really know. but the way the family in the artical is explained it seems like they are very happy and none of them are under age. so all i have to say is do what you want and be happy with it, but stay out of a minors pants!
I think the sister wives should bring in a good looking 20 something brother husband. 🙂
well have thay legalize polygamy yet ?if so i will be looking for work and a place to stay in utah
I am so sick of people talkiong about tiger woods.He didn't rape anyone if the women where not acting like gold digging whores and had a little thing called self respect for themselves they wound not have slept with him.Tiger is no angel that is clear but it takes to people to have sex and from the way it sounds he wasn't sleeping with any angels they all knew he was MARRIED and none not a one cared.They thought they had a pay day and the only one that truely got paid was his wife.That is the only one that is a victim here his wife.Tiger still has more money then most and there will still be some gold digging sluts whores or some just misunderstood women who dont mind sleeping with a man because his pockets are deep. So get over tiger woods already I thought we where talking about Kody.
If Kody is married to 4 women and they dont have a problem being used there over 21 and can make there own choices.
Legalize polygamy? Don't you mean re-legalize polygamy?
A man having more than one wife, really are disgusted.
Utah is better with women than TIger Woods.
Shame on these women for allowing him to do this.
He chooses this lifestyle.
His wives seem happier.
Polygamy should be legal if the women are in agreement with the marriage. NO miners should be allowed to marry and the wives should be granted a legal divorce anytime they see fit. It should NOT be turned into a bondage thing.
Being non-religious myself I don't preach polygamy on a basis of religion, but personally I think the larger family can be a benefit to a child. Teaching them respect for your elders, and where one might miss something going on in a child's life, another will catch it and perhaps help avoid a problem getting out of hand. "It takes a village to raise a child" is a lovely saying, and one that certainly comes into focus here.
Personally though I wouldn't mind sharing a man with other women. But I think I'd prefer a matriarchal polygamy system, rather then a patriarchal. Of course I do understand that this does not apply to the Mormon belief, but again, I'm not religious so neither applies to me. I am however accepting of how they wish to live their lives, and have to admit it is extremely fascinating to me.
so you mean polyandry?
If a man can marry a man and if a woman can marry woman I don't see any problem with a man marrying more than one woman or a woman marrying more than one man. Our country supports gay marriage so why discriminate against polygamists. As long as consenting adults are involved. Not any of the Warren Jeffs crap.
You do not speak for all women ALSO Lil Lime. I know you monogamist will against me but I don't give a damn. Excuse me, if my husband likes some other chick and wants to divorce me I will let him be. I'd rather live alone or seek for another man than having another chick share the bed and have sex with my assbutt husband. GIve me a break! Do you guys against a woman having multiple husbands at once? I think so. Because it's a man's world? I'm so glad that I never ever live in a polygamy world and never ever wish to know you guys. That's my belief! Ew! You make us women feel so LOW.
you shouldnt put your name as mormon cause in the lds church it states you should not judge god is the only judge. did you forget brigham young with numerous wives who was he to the church. you are selfish do you realize there are way more woman in the world then men so by saying polygamy is wrong is telling those woman sorry im selfish so you can just go about yourlife never expieriencing marriage or children and youll have to die alone cause theres not enough men for everyone.im not sharing.talk about being a selfish self riteous hag.
if men can have multiple wives then women should be allowed to have multiple husbands..simple. jokes aside, these people are part of a sick perverted cult, and the best part is that you actually grow to like them while watching the show! i feel bad for the kids who they are really hurting at the end of the day.
Personally, I would hate to have my husband dipping his wick in lots of other pots. That's just euuwww!
Everyone should respect that.
Personally, plural marraige for women would be great with the right man. It certainly isn't for everyone. No one will "make" anyone do it if they don't want to. Why prosecute someone who does want to. Shouldn't we be able to choose? Consenting adults should have the right to decide their own lives.
I think the sister wives should bring in a good looking 20 something brother husband. 🙂
This is disgusting. Why would you wanna share your men with other women? If u wanna teach your kids respect and unity, than become better parent. Dad's nightly desire for " variety and beauty" not gonna teach them anything.
IF you have children (i hope not) it sounds like you are doing a GREAT job teaching your kids 'respect'
*eye roll*
To "get real" – I find it interesting when you say, "Shame on these women for allowing him to do this. What makes you think that you need a man in your life." If you're arguing that polygamous women need a man, think about this. These woman are in a relationship where they don't see the man every night. They love and respect their husband and consider him a vital part of their home, but they don't "need" them in the sense that they'll die without him. In fact, if the husband dies, I think a polygamous family would be more stable since they have each other to lean on. If you think about it, it's monogamous women who "need" the man more.
I also have a real problem with your use of the word "Normal." Polygamy is normal in other countries. It was normal in the past. Why did it stop being "normal" do you think? What is "normal?"
Live and let live is what I say.
I used to be suggested this website through my cousin. I'm no longer sure whether this submit is written via him as nobody else realize such distinctive about my problem. You're wonderful! Thank you!
So gay marriage is good for America but polygamy is morally wrong? Even liberals can be hypocrites & flat out full of crap. A man's happiness is some people's worst nightmare.
Heya i’m for the first time here. I came across this board and I to find It really useful & it helped me out much. I am hoping to offer something back and help others such as you helped me.
It is true that not all women needs a man in their lives to support them and their children; I absolutely agree with that. However, the fact that you say that "This is ILLEGAL for a reason," what do you mean by this? Finally, Mormon is a religion, please respect it. The way you are saying those things is like people saying Jesus is not the savior, but a myth. No?
I am not in a relationship, but I agree with you one hundred percent. Because its our lives, no one has the right to run it. Unless their is abuse going on though. There should be some regulations though to punish the bad people.
Get to know them and get your mind out of the gutter and it is no longer disgusting.
Why should those women be ashamed for being in a polygamist relationship?
Should I remind you that there are many religions out there in the world. Not everyone follows yours. so your words are futile. Oh yeah, I'm an atheist, so no I do not believe in god or the so called "JUDGEMENT DAY"
That is what you think, not all children thinks this way. Also, being a polygamist family is as dangerous as having a step father. So your saying no mother should remarry?
OK, again with the lord thing. Not everyone follows your religion! Just leave these people alone, and let them live their lives the way they want to. How would you feel if someone told you that your religion was wrong and it's idiotic for you to believe in that sham?
What is immoral about consenting adults who are sought out this lifestyle for themselves? The government should not be able to tell people what to do in their personal lives. Polygamous marriages work very well especially for the children who ARE the most important in the union. They are committed to each other and there is everything right with that. Especially in a society that encourages men and women to cheat and do all sorts of i
immoral acts behind their spouses backs. They are honest and upfront with each other. Let them live as they please and stop pushing your own personal agenda because you dont agree with it
Listen and awaken from your slumber. Love and sex with committed people in marriage and in family (children) should be made only between consensual adults, with respect, faith, and honest commitment of sharing love and life. These adults are examples to their children and should live a life style that honors the responsibility towards each other and their children. Back to love, not lust, that is key. How is it love to " have variety" for the man? Hmmm. Isn't that just accepted CHEATING?!?. There is no way that I believe that these women are happy sharing their husband with many wives while they cook, clean, tend to children ,AND BE FAITHFUL to him! What a crock! These women are fooled and played. This should not be compared to homosexual, nor heterosexual relationships. This is nothing more than men demeaning women to have sex with multiple and younger wives, and brain wash these women into accepting it. Finally just bc he may provide a roof or food, doesn't mean this lifestyle doesn't come at a cost. I boldly say there is NO HONOR nor LOYALTY in these relationships from these husbands. I strongly recommend these wives open their eyes to realize their example and choice to live accordingly will only bring more dishonor and confusion to their daughters and sons. For you know what goes on in secret, and what lies are hidden, and what " training" you learned from your upbringing. When will you question what is true? May you see and act invoke faith knowing the full consequences of YOUR CHOICES. This is what I say to these women, and I would add once again…wake up and be brave.
I think this is among the most vital info for me. And i'm glad reading your article. But wanna remark on few general things, The website style is perfect, the articles is really excellent : D. Good job, cheers
It makes far more sense to have one wife with multiple husbands. Then there is the opportunity for more men to be out working, earning more money for a smaller number of children, which would be nothing but beneficial to everyone. It is nearly impossible to function on one income, making both mother and father have to work. With multiple "fathers" you could have all of them working to support the household while the wife (or have the wife work and one of the husbands stay home) takes care of the children, thus giving them the attention they really need and deserve. One man having to support multiple wives and tons of kids just doesn't make financial sense.
If the man is a hard worker he should be able to provide. However one wife and multiple husbands makes even less sense. Every man would want a child, but they would have to wait there turn every other year, which would be a huge burden on the women and she would be fatigued. It is very unhealthy and I would think dangerous for the women if she had multiple husbands. Also by nature men are dominant and they would not get along at all.
Exactly. One woman with several husband does make much more sense!
This man breaks his wedding vows everyday.
We already have a variation of this called Babydaddy. Some women have many babydaddies, one for each of the children they have. My only question is why are many of them not collecting child support. If they pick many nice babydaddies with good jobs, they could have ample financial security. This would include a beautiful home. fine schools for the children, healthy food, nice clothes, vacations and entertainment allowance. Additionally, there is no need for legalization of polygamy .This is a fine alternative compared to the poverty conditions that is provided by the welfare system.
Thats pure stupidity! please get your head out of the dark ages at in 2012 women earn just as much money as men and should be aiming to spend equal time with children!
It is sad, but true that the world is loosing its moral fiber. Things are only going to get worst from here. These women – seem pathetic to me. They don’t believe that they are worthy enough to garner the exclusive love of one man. Their self esteem is such that they feel they need to share him with five/six other people. That is so sad and such a giant leap backward for women’s rights.
Exactly! Shame on them all.

Mormon, I couldn't have said it better myself!
I think it should be the choice of any man or woman to have multiple wives or husbands. By definition limiting a woman or man to just one wife or husband is a restriction of freedom and their rights. If a woman or man can handle having multiple partners well then let it be.
I agree. The data would not even support that monogamy is effective in western societies. There are a lot of children without parents home to watch them, lots of broken homes, and lots of cheating spouses. Stable homes and personal responsibility should be the goal, not the state telling us who to marry.
Sex is thrown around in modern relationships, leading to disease and illegitimacy. Over 50% of kids are born outside of marriage, and 50% of sexually-active teens have an STD. Can we honestly say that we are raising our children well in "monogamous" marriages?
Apparently you haven't read the ENTIRE Bible. The Bible clearly states (over 50 times) that slavery is justified, and that Christians should kill all those who don't eat the right foods, work on the right days, believe the right things, and have sex with a woman when she is fertile. It is not nearly so clear about polygamy.
Try reading the Bible, cover to cover. It is the most violent, sexual book I've ever read.
Christians are all about Jesus Christ. Jesus is in the new testament and the old testament is violent.
Actually one out of every 1000 births is an Adam/Eve combination. Study biology, history (Ancent Greeks)…you will learn a lot about how God dealt with gender in our creation. We truly are equal-more than you realize.
By your logic, shouldn't we punish all those who have sex outside of marriage? Those men/women aren't loyal, either, and that sexual behavior is much more detrimental to society (children born into wrecked homes, STDs).
Perhaps the men who know how to respect women and raise children SHOULD get all the women, and those who sit around playing video games and watching sports all day shoudn't. As a woman, I would much rather be married to Kody than many of the boy-men in America today.
You should read your bible more…. Some of the key people in the bible had more then one wife. It is a common thing in the middle east…..( where the bible came from) Solomon the wise had over 40 wives. Abraham had Sarah but he also lead with the slave girl. There was also:
Abdon* Abijah Abraham Ahab Ahasuerus
Ashur Belshazzar Benhadad Caleb David
Eliphaz Elkanah Esau Ezra Gideon
Heman* Hosea* Ibzan* Issachar** Jacob
Jair* Jehoiachin Jehoram Jerahmeel Joash
Lamech Machir Manasseh Mered Moses
Nahor Rehoboam Saul Shaharaim Shimei*
Simeon Solomon Terah* Zedekiah Ziba*
This is what happens when you mix politics with religion if religious institutions want to be involved in politics they should have to pay their fair share in taxes.
Wow amazing how people have such a negative view of something they barely understand..
After reading many of these posts I have a question. How many of the folks commenting have been divorced? Because since monogamy is suppose to be the prefered norm I find it interesting that in the U.S. That 1 out of 5 marriages end in divorce in less than 5 years. And those are monogamous marriages. It seems to me that we must try to be intellectually honest and accept that before you condemn polygamy you may want to fix monogamy cause its failing! Marriage is a choice not a law.
Utah say hello to hundreds if not thousands of Muslim families too ………… Allahuakbar ( God is the greates !!!! )
Most of you are idiots the bible in the first five books supports that a man has more than one wife so long as the first wife approves. Do your homework before running your mouths.But most importantly the government has no right to tell people how to live.
I support polygamy if such an arrangement brings out the best in people and results in children that are more loved and healthy. I also believe that learning in such an environment is far more productive. Those of you thinking about sex only are just sex craved individuals, repressed by religion and laws which enslave people into lives of misery.
The only people who support polygamy from what I've seen are ignorant and/or sex craved. I have scientifically linked polygamy to an under-developed, primitive brain. Polygamy represses women, and is a slap in the face to marriage today.
MAN OUGHT TO HAVE AS MANY WIVES THAT HE WANTS, INCLUDING MORE THAN 4, IF HE WANTS, AND ALSO REGARDING LIMIT OF 4 IN ISLAM IS LOT OF NONSENSE, PUT INTO A FALSE RELIGION BY A MAN WITH A MIND OF A BI-POLAR PERSONALITY: THE ONLY ALMOST TRUE RELIGIONS ARE THAT OF FLDS AND OF THE AMISH
Try to do a little research. The idea that Utah would have a democrat majority in the state house is more far-fetched than them legalizing polygamy.
This whole article is a lie. Utah is not doing making Polygamy legal.
Do some research on the Bible before you go teaching falseness, the scripture, originally in Greek, was translated wrong, as the word was, mia, meaning first. a man of one wife is wrong, it's suppose to be, a man of a first wife. Seriously, if you claim the Bible, at least me educated enough to speak the truth, and not spread religious lies.
That is soo true, good point… More people need to know this fact and their holy cow will pop. Mia is FIRST, that means that the religious leader they talk about must be a married man. A single man doesn't have the experience to hold the office. He must KNOW marriage and it's complexities so he can give REAL advice to others. Besides, we believers are supposed to be the bride of Christ spiritually, many of us make us this body of bride and ONE spiritual husband. That is the type of family He made as an example for us.
If Polygamy is legalized in Utah there is a question of religion , freedom of expression and equal rights. They would have to allow both sexes to have unlimited husbands and wives. Maybe even multiple couple marriages. There is no limit to the possibilities. My only concern is the children.
I needed to send you one little bit of note to help say thanks a lot yet again over the spectacular tactics you have shown in this case. It has been simply strangely generous of people like you to make publicly what many people could possibly have offered as an e book to help make some cash for themselves, principally since you might have done it in case you decided. The suggestions additionally served to become fantastic way to be certain that other people online have a similar interest just like my personal own to realize a little more on the subject of this matter. Certainly there are millions of more enjoyable times in the future for folks who discover your website.
I want to show thanks to this writer for bailing me out of such a problem. Because of searching throughout the world-wide-web and seeing opinions which are not beneficial, I was thinking my entire life was done.
