The mommune is the bridge to being open to plural marriage. It's gonna take a while for it to lead to mass acceptance, but it will get there. First step. In fact, I am not sure mass acceptance will be able to happen without this first.I get the point re they are sooooooo close to an epiphany that should be obvious to everyone but my mind goes in a different direction when I see these arrangements.
In times of impending cultural and economic conditions sprinting towards collapse, it seems like another IQ test, whether one can see the value of plural marriage...especially for single moms

I would like to think that you are right
But I don't
I am very aware of the times we live in and how things are going. Note that I said it will take time. The situation is still a bridge. Transitions from one form to another take time. It is what it is. I feel hope when I think of the situation because I know personally how God can shift my life from one form to another and change my world and thinking in ways I never thought possible. I hope my insight as a single mom gives a little bit of perspective.I would love to think you are correct. However, I believe we will see far worse times and extreme cultural pressures
I don't wish to be a downer but I have a hard time picturing any sort of insular group coming to different and alien conclusions with no new outside influences.
Talk about being one flesh.Got curious with previous video info and found several articles of studies. This was one they mentioned. Seems I irritated some mono female friends when I shared.
Women Retain DNA From Every Man They Have Sex With
Results of a new study by the University of Seattle and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center suggest that women retain and carry the living DNA from every man with whom they have had sexual intercourse with. For some, that's a lot of DNA. This startling information was discovered...www.healthspiritbody.com
I immediately thought about Isaiah 4:1 also. @Proverbs3.5 said, all the women get alone so well all they need to do is find a man they all like and BOOM, they got it. But they need to be willing to submit to Godly patriarchy.Solid presentation...
It brought up two points immediately in my mind
1) Is this a precursor to Isaiah 4:1 ?
I can see how it would literally be so easy for seven women from one mommune to decide that, this particular one man is for them.
2) this verse form Sirach 26 "...a grief of heart and sorrow is a woman that is jealous over another woman..."
The only practical way that could be applied in context is within polygyny
What about divorce and serial monogamy?Talk about being one flesh.
(Genesis 2:24) Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
There may be more in different places. Myself and all my sisters waited for marriage....our daughter in law did too. I know others. I also have four sisters in law happily married and still on their first relationship.So today there's very little real monogamy.
Yes, saw some statistics and real monogamy waiting is mostly among religious groups, so the say about 5% of population wait, maybe one third to one quarter are within religious (depending on how liberal they are). Sounds about right. My parents also waited. It's the culture corruption we live around, true.There may be more in different places.

It is less common since the unholy Grove (hollywood) sexualizes everything and tries to make promiscuity look glamorous and fun. That "encounters" don't need to be meaningful is a lie. ...one too many fall for.
Maybe they realize in hindsight that the many relationships they had were not fulfilling. Maybe too because their experience was not good they cannot see how plural marriage can be when done right.Many ladies we met had multiple previous relationships and still believe in pure physical monogamy. Not sure why. Is it like being old and thinking we are 20?
