Marriage Types: Polygamous

Posted on by

My last couple of articles have focused on various marriage types. The first discussed couples who chose to make an even stronger bond by committing through a covenant marriage. The second article took a peek into couples who were previously married and were taking part in their second marriage. Some couples decide to take marriage to a completely new level and by pass most traditional terms and thoughts of a “normal” marriage. These couples choose to marry but not make a physical commitment to one another. In a polygamous marriage, couples are open to dating and physical relations with other … Continue reading →

Thoughts on Polygamy

With the raid on the polygamist compound in Texas headline news lately, I’ve been thinking about polygamy probably more than I ever have before in my life. The Husbands Watching the news, I’d be led to believe that the husbands in polygamist unions are all abusive, dirty old men who use religion as justification for having sex with young girls. Maybe some of them do. But what about the ones who don’t? What about the ones who have committed themselves to many wives because their religion ordains it and they firmly believe in their doctrines? How do they emotionally and … Continue reading →

Sharing One View on Homosexual Marriage

I have heard people say that homosexual marriage is not hurting anyone, and that those who are gay deserve to be happy having the same rights as heterosexual couples have. I have been very reluctant to write about this because it is such a heated topic. I would just like to share my thoughts on homosexual marriage and why I believe the acceptance of it to be part of the subtle decay of morality which was foretold in the Bible. I do not support gay marriage, the marriage of more than 2 people, marriage to animals, adults marrying children, or … Continue reading →

Marriage Means No More Dating Others (or Does it?)

Why do people bother getting married if they are still interested in dating others? Please clue me in. I’m one of those fuddy-duddy, conservative, traditional people who thinks that vows actually mean something. Granted, I generally defer to a position of “to each his own” – if no one else is affected. Yet, when you find married people on dating sites, saying things like “married but still looking,” I think it’s a little much. I was looking around for information on dating sites to write about when I came across some of these ads. I’m not going to link to … Continue reading →

The Curious Case of Sister-Wives

The other night I stayed up late watching TV because I couldn’t sleep. I ended up tuning into a show called “The Secret Lives of Women.” Apparently the show’s a series and features insight into different aspects of women’s lives. The night I watched the topic was polygamy. I have to admit, other than what I’ve seen from the media, I don’t know much about polygamy. I knew the concept of multiple wives sprung from religious beliefs, but I’ve never understood why any woman would sign up for that type of marriage. (Unless if she was forced into it, like … Continue reading →

In the News: Is Warren Jeff’s Holding other Men’s Wives Hostage?

Wendell Musser was once a good and faithful servant to the “prophet” Warren Jeffs. Unfortunately, while running from safe house to safe house, playing caretaker for eight or nine of Jeffs’ wives, Musser got pulled over and the police questioned him extensively about Jeffs’ whereabouts. He didn’t tell them anything, but it was enough to anger Jeffs. Musser waited a few days to return to the current safe house, to ensure that he was not followed there, but upon his return he found that everyone had moved out. All of the wives were gone –including his own- and his son. … Continue reading →

Would You Want Your Spouse to Remarry?

If something happened to you (God forbid), would you want your spouse to remarry? This issue has been the subject of many jokes and even some rather lengthy discussions for married couples. There are people who absolutely cannot stand the thought of their spouse being married to someone else, even after they’re gone. I’ve heard people joke about coming back to haunt their spouse if he or she remarries, but I’ve also heard people try to make their spouses promise never to remarry. I think it’s more a matter of imagining a mate with another person now than actually not … Continue reading →

Should Textbooks Be Written To Include Homosexual Achievements?

I recently wrote a blog titled “Homosexual Agenda Being Promoted In Schools,” which has received a lot of debate. There is one part of this article that I want to address in more detail. It is concerning the rewriting of textbooks to specifically include accomplishments of homosexual individuals. This is something that the California Teachers Association is currently supporting. They are trying to get a bill passed that would require that history textbooks be rewritten to “include and highlight homosexual and transsexual historical figures.” Saying that, “Curriculum should address the common values of the society; promote respect for diversity and … Continue reading →
