Oh, whoops, I forgot to add that why we need another is to further demonstrate our love through protection, provision, stability, extra chores and enhanced heat-sink functioning -- not to mention increasing our opportunities to engage in mutual submission! (Reallly just kidding on that last one, @PeteR, just kidding!)
I "need" another to help fill up our house. We have four bedrooms, but really only use one. If I added a wife, that would use another bedroom. Then, the future potential kids could use the last two. No more wasted space.
Ok, so I don't mean a yacht or a country estate, I was just wondering what specific quality you might hope to find in another family member (wife or sister-wife). I'm not looking for the list of must have's, but more like for the extra aspect you might even feel selfish for wishing for.
My hubby was sure he was gonna marry a blue eyed girl. All his family have.... guess what color eyes?..... well mine aren't blue and he has never once complained .....'bout that.... (Probably 'causs there's plenty of other worthy subjects to discuss lol)
So, I don't have a list of qualities....but I would really appreciate a co-wife that likes to sing. I find many tunes that can brighten a day or make a job go quicker, so if'n I ever have a sisterwife....I hope she can carry a tune and likes to.
How about anyone else?
Christian. Friend to my wife of course. Wanting to have more kids. Likes outdoor and farm living. That I like the cut of her cloth goes without saying. Totally random wish that is not a deal breaker by any means: likes 40's swing dancing.Ok, so I don't mean a yacht or a country estate, I was just wondering what specific quality you might hope to find in another family member (wife or sister-wife).

Our young adults like swing dancing. Since our daughter is talking to someone seriously, she just has fun going a cutting a rug with her older brother....who gets to show of his sis and his dancing ability. They dance well together. She had to explain to some girl that asked once why she wasnt out there on a particular song.....you don't slow dance with your brother!!! (duh! Lol)Totally random wish that is not a deal breaker by any means: likes 40's swing dancing.
Yeah it is good fun and good exercise I think. When you watch people swing dance you can't help but smile. I used to swing dance with my sister years ago when we were young and with some girls at the college campus ministry I went to. I am definitely older and rustier than I used to be but turn on some Benny Goodman, Duke and Ella, or even Chuck Berry and watch out! 
You and I aren't far from being on the same page, my brother!
Maybe is comes easier to young folks...maybe they have more time and less fear of failure??I'd like to be able to play something other than the radio.
I love music but just have never had a head for it.
I am the most non-musical person I know. I have zero aptitude for it but I got a ukulele recently and have learned some chords and am really enjoying it. I doubt I’ll ever be able to hear notes though.Maybe is comes easier to young folks...maybe they have more time and less fear of failure??
My mom started me at 5 on the piano, dad got me a little accordion when I was 7 and a half. I think music and playing a. Instrument can be learned at any age....if someone can just muster enough want to to get over the initial start. Once you can play a tune or few is gets easier.
Playing an instrument with fixed tones helps train your ear to hear notes. Recorded music is very complex. Lots of notes, chords and harmonies playing at once.
I think it's worth taking some time and learning. But it's what YOU think that matters.
Boc boc boc boc bugah! (In chicken voice)I just read through the posts and was cracking up a lot - thanks all.
I'd share a list, but I don't want to run the risk of actually finding someone. I am 'there' as far as beliefs go, but not 'there' as far as actually acting on it goes.
why selfish? I cannot see any selfishnes.
I'm with you on that, meister -- if a woman joins the family, she increases the work load so should be willing to pitch in to take up her share of the burdens, and my baseline assumption is that, as the leader of his family, @Mc_B isn't being selfish but instead prudent if he determines that what the family needs is someone who will garden and homestead with a joyful spirit.
why would an injoining additional wife increase the work load ?
Because, absent her effort, every new human being would require everyone else to do a little more of what they've already been doing in their realms of the division of labor in order to take care of the new person as well.
