What Do You Think About Polygamy?

One of the hottest shows on cable TV is HBO's Big Love. The basis of the show is polygamy. The Hendrickson family is like any other family. They love each other and their kids. They also put God and Family at the top of their priority list. The one b

Until the laws change, it's illegal, so I can't support it.

I see nothing wrong with it as long as there is no abuse!

This is a culture issue, we think that a "healthy" relationship should be a certain way.

-- Posted By Lanfe4r on November 30, 2007

But that is wrong, there are many cultures in this world that have practiced polygamy anciently AND modernly, and that is their way of life. To them it is equally weird to find a marriage with just two parents in it. We are being closed minded.

Sexually healthy? Think about how much of a workout a man with 6 wives must get? Think about how little some men with only one wife gets. .

The main problem I have with polygamy is the cases where young girls are being married

-- Posted By Pacific-Writer on September 19, 2007

off to much older man. Also cases where there is abuse. If there is a law abiding group of citizen that want to be married, It doesn't seem like a big deal. There are so many bigger problems in the world. . On top of that, polygamy as been around for thousands of years. Anyone who has read the bible will know that polygamy was a common part of life. .

I have to agree. If they people are good, God fearing people who are following the law why not let

them marry whom ever they like. Polygamy is biblical, why not make it legal. .

When you get frustrated with one, you can cool off and turn to another without a problem. Then when things are better you can go back to the first. I think that the only problems are when there is force and rape involved. Other than that.

I don't see why polygamy is not allowed.

Does Monogamy even exist anymore?

-- Posted By xoandre on August 10, 2008

With the incessant marriages that end up in divorce (or annulment) being monogamous in today's world has become a joke. While a large percentage of people may claim they have only ever been with the one partner/spouse, there is also the consideration of youth and finding that one person or the conflict between having to MAKE A CHOICE between two or more options... If everyone involved are friends and at least like each other, if not love each other, then why not?

i think the kind of relationship that is shown in the main family of Big Love is sweet and has nothing wrong with it. It goes south when creepy guys like Roman Grant start hitting on little girls.

It's wrong no matter how good the famliy is!

Polygamy is disgusting, who can even think to share a man, or woman?

-- Posted By Sundrop on November 30, 2007

That would mean that on some level you are having sexual relations with the other wives, or in the reversed case other husbands. I think that would open up to a lot of fighting and jealousy. .

There's just so many twisted stories. I can't believe that you can grow up mentally and sexually healthy in that environment. .

Its only wrong in this land with these laws, elsewhere is a different story.

-- Posted By eastwind on November 30, 2007

Its wrong in America because of the law, but what is the reasoning behind the law? Its there really a good reason to make polygamy illegal? Yes you see the bad stories on the news, but what about all of the happy ones no t on the news?
