Artists?

I am curious, ladies, how many of you consider yourself as having an artistic personality, how many of you brought the idea of polygamy to your husband first, and do you think your artistic personality was a factor in drawing you to this lifestyle? Just curious. Feel free to elaborate on what draws you to this life style. I am an artist and it was me who first brought the idea up to my husband. I am fascinated by what motivates and draws people. If the idea of polygamy began with you, do you find that your husband narrows his search for potential wives to women that are like you in personality, looks, and interests? I am so completely opposite of my husband. We don't like the same movies, we don't listen to the same music, we think differently and we come from opposite backgrounds. I honestly, thought he might look for someone who had more in common with him and shared a similar background. However, I am discovering that not to be true. I almost want to say, "You don't need a carbon copy of me" because that seems to be his goal. All those traits that I thought he just put up with in me are actually the traits that attracted him to me. I am learning so much about him through this process and about what makes him tick.
 
Very interesting questions! I did not bring polygny to my husband but I am a creative person...at least I think so. ;) I do know that he can't find a carbon copy of you because lets face it, YOU do the best Jennifer in this World. But I will be interested to see what characteristics he does find to be a good addition to his family. Thanks for sharing!
 
I'm not artistic in that I can paint or drawer or anything (I can stick figure, sort of, and that's about it!), but I am creative in that I can come up with some pretty interesting story ideas (and if I ever find time to write there'll be a whole lot of pro polygyny books released into the world...).
I didn't bring the idea up to Samuel. He already knew that it was biblically acceptable before he met me, and we sort of decided to go down the path of being open to doing it together. YHWH had us on the same path at the same time.
Samuel and I both have certain things that we think would be good to have in a second wife, and they are things that both him and I are terrible at, like paperwork keeping skills lol. But it's not a requirement, it's just random ideas. Samuel hasn't dated at all, but it would be interesting to see if he did go after someone more like me. I'm good either way, as long as she's following YHWH and loves kids then it's all good.
