Re: Polygamist
There is much to be considered about polygamy besides just personal physical pleasure and financial security. Often times emotional scars are much more painful and can't be compensated for with financial security. When children get involved, the situation gets real messy because kids listen to their mothers' complaining and wonder themselves if their moms are considered more or less inferior and where that places THEM on the spectrum of worth.
Either this man really is that dumb............or he just needs to come up with SOME excuse to continue his polygamy. He thinks that perhaps people will frown upon him less if the gives them the reason that "OH I JUST ABSOLUTELY HAD TO MARRY FOUR NEW WIVES BECAUSE THE PREVIOUS FOUR WERE SO RIDDLED WITH JEALOUSY. LOOK AT ME, THE BECHARA HUSBAND, I ONLY THINK OF THE WHAT IS BEST TO HAVE A PEACEFUL ENVIRONMENT IN MY HOME."
If he has kids from every group of four wives that he divorces and then marries............imagine how messed up those kids will be. And imagine how "used" those women will feel once they're dumped out because he's no longer satisfied with their "services" anymore. That is beyond selfish. People think that they can follow the Prophet SAW'S example for polygamy..............by just up and marrying four women..........but they take out LITTLE TO ZERO TIME..........in contemplating the Prophet SAW'S reasons for those marriages AND ALSO the superior manner in which he treated his wives.
The Prophet SAW'S motives for polygamy were not sexual. He might have given sexual advice to his followers as a way for them to strengthen the marital bond.....................but he was a balanced man..........who was did not make lust his motive behind marriages.
