O.K.. So I'm pretty new to this "Plural Marriage" .. As in I'm new to this myself with little experience and I'm also new to this as in I have an adequate amount of knowledge to understand it and agree with it as my life's calling, but outside of my own relationship I don't talk to many people in the same situation as us.. I feel like I need more of a support system around me to help me with my questions.. I mean my husband is always the one I talk to and I trust and respect his advice first and foremost but sometimes I just need to hear what other women(or men) in my situation would have to say about thing. What kind of advice they have for me. For instance, "Do you think I'm doing this rite?" or "Did I go about this wrong? What would you do?" The road can sometimes get bumpy and I want to make it as smooth as possible for all of us even tho that's hard at times :( I'm curious to know what the percentage rate is of PM is sought after together as a couple and what percent has come about by the man alone seeking, if even he wasn't exactly seeking it at the beginning?? Looking forward to hearing from you :)

I think the answer to that question is as varied as the people who are involved. Most of us have stumbled on our way to this place. Most of us have many regrets about the mistakes that have been made along the way. Every person here has a story that led them here. Your statistics won't help much in the long run. Part of the reason this board exists is to educate people in what NOT to do. Most of us have experienced pain along the way. Some of us have caused pain along the way. We sincerely wish to help others avoid the painful situations we have walked through.

Get to know us Micky and you will get our stories. There is no right or wrong answer. This is just life, us living it, and trying our hardest not to hurt the people we love as we go forward.

PM anyone you wish to get to know more personally.

Your situation is understandable.

Please feel free to email us or private message any of the staff here and we'll do our best to give you some ideas that be an aid to you. You may have some questions you want to discuss outside of the public forums.

As for the support system, that too is an important piece of life and the way God designed us. People need other people to learn from, to grow, and to find fulfillment. If possible see if there is a Biblical Families retreat coming to any area close to you. That is a good way to meet new people and to begin forming some friendships for support. I actually discuss this issue under the first part of the "What we Believe on Worship" section in the Teaching Articles Section. Part of worship is being close and connected to others.

I look forward to all that the Lord is going to do in your life and family.

Chat with ya soon.
 
Hello and welcome! If you are sincerely looking for statistics as far as everyone on here, we would be a family that stumbled into this. My husband and I used to debate about polygamy and eventually, I had to admit it wasn't condemned in the Bible. However, we agreed it was illegal here and therefore one should move somewhere else if one wanted to do it. Well, that opinion changed (on hubby's part) based on various events and once hubby realized he doesn't need the gov't to endorse a marriage, here we are living it out for almost a year. It is a bumpy road, especially when it has come about in not the best way - but I know I would still struggle with all the same stuff - namely the isolation and embarrassment and not wanting to tell people;not wanting to deal with the persecution for a lifestyle I never wanted. Hope being on here helps you out - it helped me a ton when I had to totally renew my mind in all this!
