This seems suspect.....
I'm not against poly relationships, but hell no to this arrangement. It seems like the only person who benefits is the man.
POLYGYNY……. This is one of my fbook friends who is in a lovely/beautiful polygynous relationship. Polygyny is growing and more black couples are considering it and engaging in it. Polygyny is for the benefit of women and children and with the women out numbering men it can be a solution to family unity. In polygyny every woman can have a man and every child can have a father. Polygyny is a big help financially when grown folk get together and combine their resources. It is not for everybody but for those engaged in it seem to be very happy and the children are cared for by a loving family. All parties involved have to be mature and understanding. The women have to be totally comfortable with self and love their sister-wife like a real sister. Sister wives at times become best friends and do everything together and have the same goals and purpose. They all take care of home and share duties around the house.Most polygynous relationships have very intelligent and responsible kids and the children have the attention of 3 to 4 adults. Polygyny has always thru history been a part of the African culture and the family unit progresses. There are many benefits of a polygynous relationship and it should be put on the table and talked about in the black community. Polygyny is going on under the table in some form anyway so why not put it on the table and organize it for the benefit of all involved and the children. I personally think its a beautiful thing and i personally would limit it to only 2 wives. More than 2 can get complicated and may ruin the family unit if one wife is not mentally stable or matured to a certain point. I have several friends in a polygynous relationship and it is more love and care floating around than the usual as far as i can see. 3 incomes is always better than 1 or 2 and 3 people working one business is always fruitful. I personally dont have to be in a polygynous relationship and i would be fine 1 on 1 but i would go their if the right situation presented itself. Hotep fam…
Umm, I'm pretty sure this is not the solution.
I just adore how the women have to work, take care of the home and the children. Sound likes a great set-up. They also have to be mature, refuse to be jealous, and love each other like sisters. No, just no. lso I doubt it would ever work the other way around. I doubt most (black) men would be okay with being husband number 2. I don't want to even touch on the legal issues.
Also Hello Big Love anyone? Yes,it was a fictional show, but the problems the family had seemed pretty accurate and they actually had some money.
Also at least how I understand polygny is/was practiced in Africa, the man has to provide for all his wives and children. Most of the time the women had separate houses/dwelling spaces which implies having wealth or least being well off. I just can't with this.
