Polygamous (multiple) Relationships

Email this topic | Download this topic

They say that it is only the swan that is designed to have one mate for life. Many life gurus denounce the idea of monogamous (exclusive) relationships. Some religions require a man to take more than one wife. The pros and cons to multiple relationships can be a minefield. Although relationships underpin human existence, the taboo attached to polygamous relationships is as exciting as it can be unnerving.

   people lovemore then one person

i know that most people think that most realtionships should be two people but the old times are over people fall in love and they can't help it i am in a polygamous realtionship and i love them both.
   Immigration

If I'm in the United States, I can simply claim to have 100 wives living in A foreign nation, and demand that all of them be brought into the country. The United States practices immigration restrictions, however these do not apply to kin and family. This would increase the number of immigrants in the country, and the government wouldn't be able to do a thing about it.

   Real commitment

Polygamists understand that it is possible to love more than one person and feel commitment to their partners. What many on the 'con' side don't seem to understand is that much more communication and maturity is required; it's not just some immature desire to jump everything that moves. While jealousy may be a part of the relationships, it is also significantly less common in a polygamous relationship than in a monogamous one.
   two timer

It's not a good behavior to have a relationship with both persons. It's a sin and not good in the eyes of people especially to God. You should stick to one person that you want to be with until your last breath.

   you will never be lonley

If you are bored with one partner you can screw around with another partner.
   Cop-out

Polygamy is good for people who don't want deep, intimate, permanent and lasting relationships. You can be as superficial as you want and still have all you want because there are enough people who are willing to settle for less. A real relationship means committment.

   Learning to Share

To overcome jealousy is a tough and often upsetting experience. Learning to share and see other members of the polygamous group as equals will promote self happiness and boost personal confidence. People within the group often become as close as family as they do not feel the need to compete with each other.
   Living Arrangements

Particularly for groups with children, housing could be cramped and arguments could arise about sleeping rotas and daily chores. As each person may have their own ambitions, it would be difficult to organise time together and keep a good atmosphere.

   Exciting Relationships

Rather than have one partner who can strongly dictate life, polygamy promotes freedom to choose when to see a partner. This prolongs excitement in a relationship, as it is unlikely that partners will stifle each other.
   Problematic Child Rearing

Whilst polygamists promote the rearing of children as a group, the children may grow up to dislike their unconventional upbringing. They could be teased at school and distance themselves from parents.

   Varied Lovemaking

Polygamy means that different styles of lovemaking are experienced with different partners. Whilst liberating, it also teaches the individual about what they like/dislike and also broadens scope for experimentation with new techniques.
   Less Emotional Support

It may be tough to receive the emotional support from a polygamist partner, as well as give it to one single partner. This can cause distress at times of need, loosening the bond between partners.

   Fun and Creativity

People have different hobbies and interests. A polygamous person will be exposed to the interests of each of their different partners. This can be involving and exciting as new things are learned all the time.
   Social Distancing

Many polygamists do not feel that they can share their lifestyle with society at large. Polygamist groups run the risk of exclusion and feelings of isolation.

   Appreciation

A polygamous person is likely to have different dimensions of their personalities appreciated for different reasons. As no one person likes exactly everything about anyone, polygamy promotes self appreciation as more positive qualities are noted by each different partner.
   Jealousy

Jealousy is an integral part of the human psyche and polygamy can open up a Pandora’s box of emotion. From feeling neglected to inadequate in the comparison to another group member, polygamy can destroy self worth and self esteem.
