Polygamy is spreading in western Europe and the United States. Although its advocates attempt rationalizing the practice, the consequences are potentially fatal. If you do not believe that polygamy is dangerous, ask the family of Jareleigh Morton, whose wife killed him while he attempted maintaining a polygamous lifestyle outside of Philadelphia. Human emotions being what they, the emotions of a majority of couples do not flex to accommodate another man or woman entering the marriage relationship. Cultures, religion and human emotions are not mix and match types of variables, especially concerning marriage, with the physical, emotional and spiritual bonding that takes place. Although those practicing polygamy may lie about the nature of the relationships to government officials, spouses know where the loyalties of the heart lie. The emotions that are triggered when spouses practice infidelity are often intense and can be murderous at times. It is dangerous to gamble that your spouse will be ‘open’ to sharing.

Relationships are complicated enough when the adulterer maintains a double-standard regarding affairs. With all its complications, it pales in comparison to when a nation lives by a double standard regarding marital fidelity. It seems that government ministers in Britain, where polygamy is illegal have approved giving government benefits and recognition to multiple wives. The ministers added the loophole stating that they had to be married in a nation that allows multiple wives, in order to ease their conscience. The crazy making message that such a stand creates will make it difficult if not impossible to disapprove of affairs. Some suspect it is catering to Islamic sensitivities, which raises even more concerns over “who is the infidel?” The meanings of the word changes. Infidels to Islam is different that an infidel regarding marriage. The confusion will make maintaining a one-woman one-man relationship in Britain a challenge for sure.
I wish Britain, and British marriages the best in sorting through the mess.

Just when I thought I had heard just about all that can be said about adultery and affairs, a news story comes along with an angle I never imagined. In this story a judge ordered a reporter to do a public service interview regarding a polygamist then on trial. It is not bad enough that those effected by the affairs (polygamy) were hurt, but now the hurt is spreading to those who were not initially involved at all. Such is the nature of affairs. They usually end up hurting more people than one ever imagined and in ways they never dreamed of.
