Re: 4 Wives
^ My apologies Deela, Patriot, and anyone else who found those choice of words offensive. I had worded the above quoted comment in a general way.
It's over-simplifying things by expecting that financial security should be enough for a woman to accept being a "lower" wife in return. And you're oversimplifying things by thinking that sexual fulfillment could more than make up for all the other issues you'll be juggling with in regards to multiple wives. And finally, you're oversimplifying by thinking that you could keep the first wife happy by successfully being able to show her that she is the "most cherished one" without offending her...........and without offending the other wives.
That is why.........in my opinion............if one is over-simplifying such a huge issue.......without giving my thought to the consequences............the chief motivator here seems to be the lower/base desires.
