Good information in this article, but I don't agree with the highlighted sentence above. Human morality has not evolved. The "hardness of your heart" scripture refers to divorce. Polygamy was not God's plan from the beginning. The old testament doesn't highlight it every time it occured, but that does not make it any less sinful for them and yes indeed they suffered the consequences. Look at Abraham, David, Solomon and other patriarchs and kings with multiple wives and the complete havoc, heartbreak, jealousy and murder that it caused in their families.
