Easier with more

[MemeFan]

I have heard it gets more easier with more children, ie... 2 children are easier than one, three children than two, etc........

Does same works with wives?

If it gets harder with more wives, are you doing something wrong?

It isn't easier but it also isn't harder.

Once a family has made it to where they have a second wife then they're already doing the things that make their family a good place for a third wife.

And yes, if it gets harder with more than one wife then the issues need to be sorted out.

A lot depends on how you regard the challenges and difficulties of life. Whether you have 1 child or 6 children, there will be challenges. Same with wives. This world is under the curse and is populated by sinners who sin. If you are the sort of person who gets cranked over the small things, who doesn't learn and grow through the challenges of life, who doesn't desire to become more like Jesus Christ and lead his wife/wives and children to maturity in Christ, it will be a harder road to walk.

If it gets harder with more wives, are you doing something wrong?

One person can become a burden on others however, if the goal of each one is the blessing and betterment of the family, you can work through the hard times. Narcissists (husband, wives, or children) are the most difficult people to deal with in a family situation and make it hard for everyone else.

Yes, done right, division of labor is a net positive, and more of what Yah declares a blessing, IS in fact, a blessing.

I heard this too, and I do understand why people say it, but there is a lot of nuance involved and it really isn't that accurate. It's easier to have more children when you have much older children. 2 is better than 1, but once they can play together etc. Before that it's incredibly difficult. When more come, if you're having them very close together, it is not at all easier until they're much older. I had 7 children in 10 years, my oldest was 9 when my last child was born. That was not in any way easy, or easier than having less.
Where is does make a difference, is when you have older children than can help. My oldest is now 16, and if I had a baby now he would be incredibly helpful. Many large families have much larger spread of children, and say it's easier to have more, but it's the spacing that really makes the difference.

How does this correlate with wives? No idea. Maybe having older, more experienced wives is better before you bring a new wife in?

That’s like saying that being married is easier than being single.

Nope, every situation is different.
