Q&A plural marriage decision

[Romantic_Rebel]

I was thinking about doing a Q&A thread on why you decided to get interested or chose to get into a polygamy relationship. So I will start off the thread.

Q: why did you decided on polygamy for yourself?

A: I have always wanted a large family. Coming from a small family I never would imagine of wanting such a large family. I figured that having more then one spouse would make it more simple to raise a lot of children. Being more conservative and religious I find it better for a man and woman to be married and having a family then people being used or using someone else. The Duggar Family has shown me with even one woman it's possible to have many kids, a large home, and just a happy life. I wouldn't want that many kids. But I would like to have children with all my spouses. At least around 10 or 13 children. I believe I could achieve my dreams and become the man G-d wants me to be in life. With his blessings I can become a great husband and a father.

Q: why did you decided on polygamy for yourself?

A: I got into polygyny through the back door, the door of divorce. While married to my first wife I had thoughts of becoming polygynous but I was such a bad husband the marriage failed before we could get to polygyny. Believing Rom 7:1-3; 1Cor 7:11,39 I believed I could well still be maritally bound in the Kingdom of God to my departed ex-wife, knew I was under 1 Cor 7:2,9 command to be married, so I believed the only way I could marry again would be with the possibility of my ex returning and being still maritally bound to her, my new wife would have to live with the reality that if my ex returned (1 Cor7:11a) I would have to accept her back in polygyny, married in the Kingdom to my ex and my new wives. My second and third wives accepted me on those grounds. My wives by covenant accepted me on those grounds. Each one who entered into marital covenant with me understood that I believed I may well be still polygynous with my ex's and their predecessors.
I believe millions of born again believers who have been deceived by bad Bible teaching on divorce, have gone ahead and divorced and remarried and are still maritally bound to their ex's in the Kingdom of God. No wonder God doesn't bless the American church.

Q: why did you decided on polygamy for yourself?

A: I have no sense for conforming to tradition for traditions sake and found faith in scriptures at a young age. The greats of God's faithful sometimes many wives, but we who follow the same God don't, that discrepancy was hard to explain away (a great deal harder than why we don't do many of the other things). Then I hit teens and wanted many children and more intimacy, I wanted and do want women for womens sake. They are quite wonderful and interesting in many ways . I gave up on polygamy when I debated it when I was young and had no answer to 'why would a woman want it'. But then when I met my to be wife, she did want it, so we looked into it in detail, and decided on it.

Q:Why did you decide on polygamy for yourself?

A: Well personally, I saw it modeled for a few years by my parents. I felt motivated to follow after it after exploring the scriptures as well as what G-d's design for my marriage and my life in general. I decided that after reading the scriptures that polygamy is His will for me and I have been blessed in following that design.
