Sister Wives
#21
If polygamy is the "right " thing to do in these folks' eyes, then why are there equal numbers of M & F being born? If God wanted us all to do this, there should be about 3 to 1 ratio girls to boys.
IMHO, just an excuse for some over-sexed guy. Sad that he can get women to buy into it.

Oddly enough, all the wives in this show seem intelligent, articulate, sensible, great moms and secure in their individuality. What I don't get is their attraction to this egocentric, obnoxious guy who makes each of them miserable and jealous in turn and yet has the complete adoration and availability of four women. Somehow apparently the women have all bought into this situation. Is he going to continue to adding new wives, "courting" them, as he calls it before forcing the current women to adjust to another disturbance in their family dynamic? It's sad to watch, really, and the guy himself is too irritating for words.

Why is this not seen as him having a wife and the wife agreeing to him having 3 live-in girlfriends? Yeah, he is re-populating the world. But isn't that a private matter? As far as I know, he is not claiming the "wives" as dependants so what laws are they actually breaking?
Like I said, I would never share, but how is this different from a guy having a mistress who doesn't live with him vs. a "wife" who does and the real wife doesn't mind? Educate me.

That is what I'm saying. In the eyes of the law, they are not legally married. How are they breaking a law if no law has been broken? I see this as the same with gay marriages; it's all a commitment ceremony because the law doesn't recognize it.
