I recently came across this blog. It’s written by a woman in a plural marriage (one other cowife) living in rural America. She talks about managing the boundaries and responsibilities of a polygynous family. She argues that raising children in a home where the father’s natural urge for variety is met in a rational way decreases the lying and bitterness that would come with infidelity or unmet needs.

Here’s the kicker:

They’re not members of any religion. All three signed up independently, by choice, based on no preset canon of law or sense of spiritual obligation. It’s a fascinating read and a potent new perspective on an argument in which it is assumed women only put up with polygyny when they’re threatened with Hell.
