What does the Bible say about the way sister wives should act towards each other? I was asked the other day. Though I have found a lot on the subject I have yet to find any thing with in the 66 books that directly express it is towards sister wives. I have found a few things in Jewish laws on different rules for sister wives, but not in the bible. Any help would be much appreciated!

There are quite a few examples of them hassling each other about how many children they have (e.g. Abraham and Elkanah's wives). So maybe - don't hassle each other about how fertile you are?
Apart from that I can't think of anything specifically directed at sister wives. There is a lot of scripture about how we should relate to each other in a more general sense.

I don't think it needs to be specific to sister wives. The Bible has many rules for how we are to treat people. Any and all of those rules apply.
Eph 4:32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
Col 3:13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
1Jn 3:11 For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.
Why do we need specific rules for specific relationships? God told us how we are to behave in all situations. If we all do what God tells us to do then we shouldn't need specific rules as to how sister-wives are to behave toward each other.
