Does Paul's admonition to love your wives ... even as Christ loved the church ... mean that we should care about our wives' feelings ?

Put that in the cultural context of thousands of years of polygamy and the notion that they wouldn't marry more than one because of jealousy doesn't work.

Keep it in context, FRiend. Don't isolate it out of context.


The issue is not jealousy friend ... the issue is love.

By marrying more than one woman, ... are you loving them as you love yourself, ... or are you just loving yourself ?

It seems that most of y'all think that polygamy is all about sex. What is wrong with you people? You don't like something because you can't see beyond your own fears that you project onto others?
