For the first time in the history of Nairaland, I saw some good and educative comments.
Let me put mouth by saying wait o, in this economy some people still dey manage get two wives shey Dat means buhari never sapa us well well be that.
Second, try address the need or your need of why do I need to marry second wife if not that all of us nah sex sex sex thing dey worry us, the issue of second wife would have been addressed if you pray very well before entering the marriage, marry your friend, check all that needed to be checked like red flags, body count, cooking skills, relationship with family members, relationship with friends, anger management amongst others and by also having in minds that no perfect marriage anywhere in the universe, spouses are meant and bound to create problem for each other, so owing to these facts and reality if you enter marriage you go enjoy.
Just marry your own problem, manage the problem, face the problem and die bin the problem shikena.
Third, have you people ever ask yourself what happens to kids that comes from two wives marriages?? Especially if one of the folks either the wife or the husband has much property then if you know you will prefer to stay with your one problem.
Overtime have discovered that you cannot even finish the problem from one wive family, not to talk of two-wives family.

I pen out...
Criticism are welcome I wan learn before I enta that thing called marriage

GOD'S Standard from the beginning remains One man one wife.
GOD'S Standard is HE hates Divorce.

Jacob, Solomon , Religion, Society or whoever are not the standard. The Word of GOD is the Standard .

Read Matthew 19: 4-9 to know GOD'S Standard!

You still haven't answered the question, was it written anywhere in the bible that having more than one wife is sin? Did you read the passage of David killing another man and taking his wife? Did you hear God's response to David, he said and I quote" Even if you needed more wives from the one you already had I would have given you, rather than killing a man for his wife" so what does that tells you? Abraham had more than one concubine after the death of Sarah why didn't God caution him to just have one, that's Gods friend and God didn't say nothing about it, though before his death he sent all those women and their children away so they won't have to contest inheritance with Isaac the true promise. In summary God doesn't care of you marry one wife or ten, as long as you give then equal treatment of love, and that was what Jacob failed to do that made God shut Rachel's womb because Jacob loved her more than her elder sister Leah.

And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them Male and Female .
(Not Male and Females or Vice versa)

And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his Wife(Not Wives): and they twain shall be one flesh?

Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?

He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.

And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.

Anything apart from GOD'S Standard is SIN. It is Fornication, Adultery and Man/ woman Decieving themselves!

Handsum64:
Christians are just hypocrites

Check most of their preachers and be amazed at the retinue of side chicks they keep with tithes and offerings proceeds

Apostle Johnson Suleiman and Abiodun Fatoyinbo representing

Myer:


When David murdered Uriah just for his wife Bathsheba, this is what Prophet Nathan said God told him;

2 Samuel 12: 7-8
Then Nathan said to David, “You are the man! Thus says the Lord God of Israel: ‘I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you from the hand of Saul.
I gave you your master’s house and your master’s wives into your keeping, and gave you the house of Israel and Judah. And if that had been too little, I also would have given you much more!

First this tells us God is not against polygamy.
Second David is not perfect just like we aren't.
God is not looking for perfect people but people who love and worship him.

Also considering almost all the Fathers of Faith including Jacob were polygamous. In fact the 12 tribes of Israel were products of 4 different women from Jacob.

True, Gods original plan is for 1 man to marry 1 wife.
But God does not consider polygamy a sin.
Provided you're not a Bishop and you can manage your household. 1 Tim 3:2

Simran94:


In the beginning God created Adam, he thought it wasn’t good for him to be lonely. Then God created EVE not EVES.
The Bible also said something about marriage. “And a man shall leave his father’s house, to join his WIFE and they shall become ONE. One MAN one WIFE.
But as always greediness has always being in the eyes of men, that was how SIN came into the picture.

If you want to marry two wives, go ahead but please let your fiancé know about your plans so she can decide for herself if she still wants to go ahead with marrying you.

From your tone, I can categorically say that you know almost nothing about the day of judgement, so please keep quiet.

ISelectMySins:

The guy who said God did not forbid polygamy is very right and rightly so for God's righteous reasons. It wasn't an oversight on God's part. No polygamist would go to Hell for reasons of his polygamy. And please you have to stop using bad logic to make a point. Just vecause God didn't create more than one man or woman doesn't mean you are not permitted to marry more than one wife.

drginger:
No, its no sin. You see the apostle's suggestion was that elders in the church shld be men of one wife. It doesn't make it a biblical law. But the church has made it a doctrine.
Just the same way the apostle stayed unmarried and certain pple have followed in that path, to remain single and not be distracted by marriage, and that is very ok, but it doesn't mean being married will mk u serve God lesser. He felt better as a single serving God

PoliteActivist:

If I may ask, only Men went to war and did all sorts of dangerous jobs, so they die off, plus women taken as war loot. Who'd marry all these surplus women or are they meant to be celibate and childless for life?

Also, if the few men left married only one wife each, will they have enough children to replenish the population?

Chai u too get wahala. But remember that whom d almighty God didnt curse will never be cursed by anyone.u get siko siko

Simple: you do not know how VERY GREAT, The Curse, God Cursed evil women.

"I will GREATLY, MULTIPLY, Thy Sorrows" God Said.

And men think to nullify God's Curse and that they shall not themselves be Cursed.

Thank God one man here laid his experience.

helinues:
So people still look up to all this fairy tale books to make personal decision that would affect their lives?

englishmart:
In the old, people like Solomon, David, Jacob, etc married more than one wife. God is still God and doesn't change. Do you think He now sees something wrong in marring more than one wife?

PoliteActivist:

The bible said clearly they'd be cursed so that they'd be going through great pains in childbirth.

PoliteActivist:

Also, if the creation stories are literally true, why are there two if them, contradictory of each other?

Dukeolumidemans:


Ur correct. Until I became alert spiritually, I never knew this. Any woman who tells u she is divorced or is no longer with her husband is still spiritually bond to him. If any man sleeps with them, u will be dragged years back in ur progress. It's like going to Lagos in a bus and ur asked to come down and trek to Lagos with ur legs. That's how slow ur progress will be after sleeping with a married woman.

Secondly those who sleep with different girls. They don't know that each person has a spirit that follows or works with them. Some girls are possessed like their male counterparts. The more girls u sleep with, the more spiritually bond u will become. Those spirits will either help or ruin u. The more u meet/sleep with girls, the more ur entangling with so many negative spirits that bond u and thereby impeding ur progress.

It's always better to stay with one girlfriend or a woman who is ur wife. When I discovered this about women, I ran away and stayed away.

I come in peace!!!
