A short musing on polygamy

Anyone who tries to elucidate polygamy to an unknown audience is playing with fire, and will undoubtedly cause more problems that he/she solves.  With that in mind, I will mostly skirt the issue, but will say the following.

Men and women are designed for pairing, one on one.  This is all that is required to have seed (children).  The very fathers that we are to turn a remembrence of, practiced polygamy; two of them anyway, I don't believe that Isaac is credited with more than one wife.  The polygamous marriages of Abraham and Jacob do give some clues worth noting. Neither sought their first polygamous wife. Circumstance conspired against their intentions and provided them with more than one wife.

With that said, I'm going to bail on the subject and suggest that we, like Abraham and Jacob not seek for more than one wife.  If Isaac did indeed have only one wife, as seems to be, we should emulate him when it come to marriage.

I also think we ought to pay very close attention to Jacob's words on the subject in the Book of Mormon.
