Hello, I'm considering this lifestyle

Hello, Ever since I became a housewife 7 years ago, I've really decided that polygamy/bigamy makes sense in so many ways.

Being a housewife all alone is lonely, tedious, frustrating, and overwhelming. With more women around to converse with and share all the duties, homemaking and childrearing might actually be enjoyable.

Everyone has different strengths in different areas, for example one woman might enjoy cooking more than others, another woman's satisfaction might be found in cleaning, a third woman might have work well with children. Sharing and distributing duties would make housekeeping so much more enjoyable with other women to work alongside with, and have people to talk to.

My personal strengths are cleaning and organizing, and OCCASIONALLY working with children. But being alone with children 24/7 has not been my cup of tea. I need more adults, more helping hands, more interactional variety to raise my children. I believe in the old adage, 'Many hands make light work."

I think it's natural for men to want to be with many different women, but social customs have required that men repress that natural desire. I support the polygamist lifestyle. I think it's what God intended.
 
You make several good points that are reasons for one to consider a polygynous marriage. The loneliness can cause many problems, and the feeling of being overwhelmed can cause even more. Let me caution you on one thing though: it may make much sense to our minds, but we need to clear everything with our Father in Heaven first. He knows what we can handle and what we can not, and even a situation that seems impossible to us may in fact not be impossible. Everything we do should be prefaced with "If it be thy will" and then we should find out His will. Regardless, if there is anything I or my family can do to help, feel free to let us know.

Your points about family and fellowship are on target. One of the problems that has surfaced in many homes today is the work load placed upon one person. If you read closely Proverbs 31 you'll see the family unit there was composed of numerous members of the family. The economic and fellowship benfits are certainly helpful so long as the head of the family provides good leadership to the whole.

By all means if you have any questions then let us know.

Grace to you,

Dr. Allen
