...not to mention the fact that it is virtually impossible for many poly women to get a divorce given their societal roles. Divorce stats say little about the topic at hand.

"There is no one human being that can fulfill you completely in every physical and mental, emotional way..."

Is that what marriage is supposed to do?

Annie, I don't know that we can look at today's divorce rate and conclude that its cause is because we have single spouses. Especially when we consider that successful marriages in the Western world also consist of single-spouse marriages.

Obviously monogamy isn't working, just look at the divorce rate. Whether I agree or disagree with the lifestlye really doesn't matter. But understanding it the key. It may not be because of religion, or child bearing, it can be just as simple as love. I do believe you can love two men at the same time. There is no one human being that can fulfill you completely in every physical and mental, emotional way...its just impossible. We're too flawed. There's a lot worse things in life than polygamy. The world needs to focas on more important issues out there, than how many lovers one has.

Emily, when you say Joseph is the author, do you mean that it was entirely of his invention and none of it came from God?

Read D&C 132 (joseph's revelation on Celestial Marriage}.The God I know in my heart would never feel about women the way it is stated. It gave Joseph all the justification he needed to take more and more wives. Was he the author - there is no doubt!

I think it’s fair to argue that marriage has always been about money: dowries – responsibilities – rights
