Prolly catch heat for this but w/e

Bible doesn't condemn polygyny but does condemn polyandry. OT specifically gives guidelines for polygyny.

Quite a few people in the OT had multiple wives and not a peep was said of it.

What do I make of this? Multiple wives is permissable as long as the man provides for them and does not diminish his duty to any one of them. Perhaps the idea it was better for a man to take on multiple women rather than the women being destitute, turn to whoredom or be subject to slavery.

That said I think the family unit is ideally a single man and woman and God's "preferred" amount as church leadership are to be "the husband of one wife". However if one can meet the OT requirements for multiple wives it is not a sin.
