|

according to math, (1+2) = 3.
Does that mean one man can have two wives?

If a man feels the need to have more than one wife, he shouldn't have married the woman in the first place. Only marry someone you're in love with, being in love with someone to the extent of wanting to spend the rest of your life with them means that you find your companion, the person who fulfills all your needs... And damn, since when have men become such high maintenence?

It is impossible for any one human being to satisfy all the needs of another, unless the person whose needs are being satisfied is in a persistent vegetative state - then their needs are either just being fed and cleaned - or none at all.

pretty, knowing how difficult it is to deal with my wife, i wouldnt think of getting more difficulty by getting another. But my religion is very considerate. take for example after the second WW, millions of men died and left behind millions of women with children/no children. What does your bible/religion say about handling such a situation?

I see rather differently,how many Nigerian Husband are faithful?our women prefer us hving girlfriends rather than bringing them home.If you are a muslim,nothing wrong with you marrying more than one wifeif you follow the rules.Secondly if all men are to pick one wife,what will happen to the surplus?abi women no plenty pass men?wetin the extra babes go dey do?snatch other people husbands?I see bring them all under the same roof legally i.e if you are a muslim.God is wiser than all of us

may be this will your eyes - About 60 percent of men and 40 percent of women will have an affair at some point in some marriage "Monogamy Myth", Therapist Peggy Vaugn -About 24 percent of men and 14 percent of women have had sex outside their marriages, according to a Dec. 21, 1998 report in USA Today on a national study by the University of California, San Francisco. Affairs affect one of every 2.7 couples, according to counselor Janis Abrahms Spring, author of "After the Affair," as reported by the Washington Post on March 30, 1999. Ten percent of extramarital affairs last one day, 10 percent last more than one day but less than a month, 50 percent last more than a month but less than a year, but 40 percent last two or more years. Few extramarital affairs last more than four years. Pretty...you're better off marrying a muslim. You can put it down in written on your marriage contract that he shouldnt get married to another woman.  |

@Kismat, Lasun,
The question says does a man need more than one wife....simple answer ..YES or No. All the excuses u guys are giving are just complete bullocks. The question was not reasons why men should marry more women ...duhhhhhhhhh.
What concerns a mans need with the ratio of men to women.
Kismat, the day i marry a muslim, it must be the end of the world.

well, according to the old testament, if your brother should die and leave behind a childless widow, you should either take her as your wife or at least impregnate her (to carry on your brother's linage).
Now, according to the new testament, we are all brothers and sisters in christ. So, therefore, people should feel free to marry widows, in addition to their current wife/wives.

Just because God only gave someone one fish and a loaf of bread to eat for breakfast, doesn't mean that is all I eat. You don't see me walking around naked in a garden avoiding trees of knowledgeso why should i be limited to one "adam or eve" as well? |

why do most of you reply with such pride in their inability to pronounce the english language correctly. This only gives the racists reason to believe we are inferior to them. Please be proud to know the english language and stop acting like NIGGERS. I am ashamed when i read 'that' and 'them' and other lazy, dumb responses
As for a having many wives, a man had better know what and who he wants for a wife, but he must remember, he will always be physicallly attracted to others.

The Bible never condemed polygamy in a way. There are a thousand and one reason why a man might decide to have more than one wife. I think its better to be honest with yourself and live up to your responsibilty if you are a married man and you meet and fall in love with another woman. I support polygamu 100%. Such men are being true to themselves.
Which one is better marry 2 or more wives or marrying one wife and keeping a chain of girlfriends?

Men who practise polygamy have concubines as well. So your argument becomes null and void. |

As much as I do not support the practice of Polygamy, I still believe that not all men who practice it have concubines.
