Not worth it... Just stick to one because one woman is enough problem already,why are you trying to die young by having massive heartaches?

PS: and if you must become polygamous, make it 3 instead of 2... Because when those two will gang up against you, the 3rd will snitch on them to become your top priority and favorite grin heard this secret from one baddest grandpa in my area cheesy


So I was planning for two b4, so I will make it 3 then, good one from u..
Thanks..�

A man will be in best position to answer this because there's hardly any woman who will want her man to marry another whether it's advantageous or not

It's very dangerous for your life, your wive's life and your children's life. In a whole day you can lose all you think you have accumulated due to Polygamy. It's not today it started but since the beginning of the world. Gideon had 70 sons but one from his concubine, Abimelech killed them all in one day. Remember David and his son who raped Tamar? what about queen Athaliah who killed all her husband's kids so she can rule? there are several examples around us, people who can't progress, those who die untimely, so many examples of waywardness due to polygamy. It's just like a deathtrap for many who get involved in it

Bro I completely disagree with you, sometimes a nagging and disrespectful wife can lead a man into polygamy, when the woman discovers there is a rival especially when the rival also have kids for you, they tend to behave so she doesn't get thrown out.....
drmikeadams:
grin grin grin. It is only a foolish man that will still engage himself in the yoke of polygamy in dis century ,,u marry two or more wives then u create problems and rivalry between the wives and children. Then the foolish man will die without putting the family in order,,,then there will be fuji house of commotion when the man is gone grin

Men should stop allowing their erection become their directions in life

No advantage in having two wives, especially if they live in the same house with their children, how much more, more than two!. Man is polygamous by nature and as such will desire to have another woman in bed at the slightest opportunity. That said, If you are so desirous of having more than one woman at the same time where your cultural, religious or family practices pushes or permits you to do so, think of the consequences. However, if doing 'that thing' is the reason you are looking for polygamy, look for women who will agree to be your mistress on terms.

Please are you trying to say that the only reason men marry more than one wife is because of the sex?

IMO marrying an even number of wives portends its own problems as they will constantly be on eachothers necks.
The ideal number should be 1,3,5 and so on.
This allows for rotational gang up amongst them and free you from excessive headaches.

It is very good if the woman has her own money and can milk enough from the man.

Taking care of a grown man alone is too much stress. If you have co-wives to share it with, you can have enough time for yourself and sideguys.

He wouldn’t be looking for you upandan, because the other wives would be at his beck and call.

Nah it doesn't really matter. What matters is that you control your household. Whether one or one hundred, if they see you are in control, they will not dare to cause trouble. Women are natural troublemakers, but they know their limits very well. You only have to ensure that you set those limits from day 1 of marriage. The problem is that in modern society, from day 1 to after one child, the men are still doing love love while their wives are the one setting limits for them.

He can marry the rest of the wives the same way he married the first one. It has nothing to do with greed. That is only what Africa Magic teaches and what feminists use to dissuade men from taking their monopoly over the husband from them.

Saying it is due to greed is actually contradictory. In fact, polygamy requires great responsibility and sacrifice on the part of the husband. A greedy person will conversely, still sleep with the same number of women; but without taking over their responsibility the way a polygamist would.

[b]Paint it all you want, justify it with Islam or any other religion if u like, use the adjective “responsible” to make it look good all you want....if u like, even say polygamy is reducing the number of single women...to make it look like a humanitarian stunt.
Take it or leave it...you cannot marry many wives and not be greedy... weda u are keeping them outside under adultery like some men do, or u formally bring ur greed home and add more to the women in the name of polygamous marriage.... it doesn't change the fact that u had a wife at home and u were lusting after another outside...until u formalized ur lust and added more lust later...

Wait how do U people even do it if you are polygamous anyway....does it even look right or feel right?? Entering one pvssy today, enter another tomorrow, enter the next perhaps the same the day.....looks like a script from a highly corrupt film writter.....
How do women even cope psychological receiving dic from another pvssy...when it’s not pornographyy...[/b]

Having more than 1 wife is a good thing if only the man will be able to take care of them both equally without being partial.

Look around in your area, find me like 5 men that married more than 1 wife and died young....Men with more than one wife tend to live long....

No I am not an adherent of any organized religiosities, but I believe that Islam has a lot more good about it than polygamy, which prejudiced bigotry may not let you see.

And muslim extremism has nothing to do with polygamy. Polygamy existed long before Islam or Christianity and was the norm. It was the Church that unnaturally proscribed it. Those who oppose polygamy can not usually find any logical reason for doing so. Perhaps you can do the honour? And I no longer believe in the truth of your bible so please don't quote the 'one flesh' verse that christians always rely on.

What can you make of this passage of Matthew 16:

“Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’ ? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”
Matthew 19:4‭-‬6 NIV

Abi you know more than Christ, the Son of God?

Please note the bolded :
1.Singular male and female
2.Two, not three not four, not five
3.a man (singular) united to his wife (singular), not wives (plural)
That's why i cautioned against long grammar. The verse you qouted, does it unequivocally say you cannot marry two wives?

Certainly as the saying goes, "To every disadvantage there is a corresponding advantage" but I haven't given it any thought though. Haven said that, destiny certainly defers; it might be of great advantage to one and.... Y'know.
But due to our African women's attitude there tend to be more known disadvantages of polygamy than advantages. Like my guy up there said.... Better have mistress than second wife. (That saying comes with lot of real life experience)
Even Jesus never had any wife; talk more having 2wives.... My brother I will like to be your lawyer!

I didn't say extra. I said extra marital.

"Extra marital"; outside the confines of a legally and/or culturally acceptable marriage contract.

Polygamy is a legally and/or socially acceptable marriage to more than one spouse.

One of the Advantages I know is that; The nagging and bad-mannerisms will be lesser as there will be competition between the wives to impress you with good characters and doings.

Does Marrying More Than One Wife In Anyway Has Advantage?

Please let's discuss and learn from different ethnic background if marrying more than a wife in anyway has advantage, disadvantage or either ways. I'm sure people from polygamous family might have learnt one or two lessons that will/might make them conclude that marrying more than a wife is a no no for them. While some believe there are still benefits in marrying more than one wife.

Note: this discussion is open for both Christians and Muslims including the atheist as far as we are here to learn, unlearn and relearn
Yes oh. We should be asking:

Are there advantages in marrying more than 2 wives because more than 1 is every man's wish and calling angry angry
