I doubt that you will be able to carve out polygyny from polyamory, so I don’t see much hope there.

Biblical Families is not a dating website. It is a forum to discuss issues relating to marriage and the Bible, and to offer guidance and support, not to find a wife. Click here for more information.
Good comment and laudable sentiment. I even put a like on it.
However
Once a group opens the rainbow can, the worms of confusion are hard to reason with. How do you try to put boundaries on your immorality now? There are no more moral boundaries. It’s a free for all. These folks would laugh at polygyny. They want the full polyamory enchilada.
It's not that simple. Issue is polyamory crowd is divided into multiple incompatible groups under same label.
Same can be seen in watching infighting inside Libertartian party of USA between it's left wing (hedonistic, LQBT positive, no rule/hierachy) and right wing (pro-family, pro hierarchy, LQBT negative). People from opposite wings, despite being in same party, can't imagine living in same community.
There is swinger group with whom we have nothing in common. But these is also polyfidelity group where people do have committed relationships. No sex with people outside group, just like us. They are pro-family group in practice. Only key difference would be accepting of multiple men inside relationship.
There is nothing to learn from swingers except possible "ways of better sex". But polyfidelity group can be source of wisdom for us. They do have same problems as any poly family here. Vetting new members, how to divide household work, living together with multiple people, dealing with family (parents, siblings), social acceptance issues etc, communication......
Well see what you need to do is "present" the polyamory side, and then concede to losing the debate on wives having mulitple husbands, but leaving the real gem where it belongs!
Go ahead. Offer your proposal. Report back on your progress.
I read about Jakin and Boaz. Bible trivia: What am I referring to?
