I don't think that treating multiple wives equally/fairly is only confined to material things (car, house, clothes, etc). It also refers to treatment, attitude, etc.
Many times our feelings tend to seep out in our body language no matter how hard we might try to conceal them. For example.......students can tell if a teacher has a slight preference for one child. There was even psychological research done regarding parents and favoritism of children. There ARE parents who don't have a favorite child. But according to this research.......a group of parents who DID have a favorite child were interviewed............and usually the other children could TELL correctly who mommy/daddy loved best.
^ You just said that your first wife would be your "most cherished"........so you've ALREADY *started making a difference between the four women........(whom you don't even have yet). So, if your first wife will be the most "cherished"..........you are obviously going to show her that she's the *"most cherished" through your body language, words, actions. How would this behavior make the OTHER WIVES feel? Would the difference of treatment make them feel insecure? Or are you hoping that material things will compensate for their emotional insecurities?
And hypothetically speaking...............what if as the years pass by........."most cherished" first wife starts gaining weight.............developing wrinkles on her face..........and is not as attractive or youthful-spirited as she used to be. Would you start spending more time with your YOUNGER but less attractive wives to meet your.....ahem.....ahem.....sexual needs? How would that make the "most cherished" first wife feel? Would she start thinking that you don't "cherish" her physically that much anymore? And women are more than just boobs and butts......they have intelligence. Your other wives will eventually be able to tell that they are "less cherished" compared to the first.....and that they are being given importance mainly for fulfilling your sexual needs. Most people don't feel good when they realize that they are being reduced to objects. It's not a "loving" thing to do.
^ The above examples are the reason why Allah says in the Quran:
"You will never** be able to deal justly between wives however much you desire (to do so). But (if you have more than one wife), do not turn altogether away (from one), leaving her in suspense....."** (Quran 4:129)
^ This shows that even though Allah KNOWS men have polygamous urges........HE ALSO KNOWS that most men fail to treat their multiple wives equally and fairly. And you don't even have ONE wife yet.........and already you're assuming that one won't be enough for you.
In THIS thread of yours......**Psquared **is even asking how you could be so confident that one wife won't be enough when you don't even have one wife yet. This is the SAME EXACT question that was posed in your LAST thread. It's a logical question..........one that many have asked. But you just don't see the logic in it. Get the experience of ONE WIFE first to see if it will be sufficient for you or not. It's not wise to start counting your chickens before they hatch.
^ IN FACT.....it's not only the women. Even the men such as **Funguy **are wondering why you're so confident that one wife won't be enough. I think even trolls know when to quit.
