Did u and ur 5 sister wives actualy married or just have done the cerimonies in private. Do they have the choice to marry someone else if they decide to. Did the wives play any roll in the addition of extra wives or was it a take it or leave it offer.

I met him in college and we NEVER would have seen our selves living the way we are today. We moved to Idaho 15 yrs ago and met a couple who we became friends with. After 2 yrs we found out they had 3 wives. We both found it very hard to understand their views until they let us into their home and seen them all together , the love they share for each other. Our male friend offered to introduce to a lady and told us to just try it out we did but she just wasnt right for us. In the beginning we thought that maybe we were more suited for swinging and got involved in that for several months but we realized that we wanted the love aspect not the sex. Adventually we found a women that best suited us and it just grow from there. There are now 5 other women and 11 children in our wonderful family. We have jobs, our children are in many after school activites, We dont live on some made up village like you seen in tv shows like "Big Love" or movies. We wear normal fashioned clothed, I go to a gym, tan and love to hang out with my other firends. If you seen me at the park with my children we are no different then any other family there. This is a PERSONAL CHOICE that isnt for everyone, but it does suit us. I feel having a law against what makes us happy is stupid and stero typing all of us liek we are horrible people which is not true.

Everyone remembers the one man in the village with 5 wives. Nobody remembers the other 4 men (which is 80% of the total men) in the village with no wife at all.

Man and Women are two halfs and only together are they whole.
So having more than one wife unbalances everything.
Every woman who has been interviewed that is in this kind of marrige says the same thing.
They are lonely and feel neglected.
Meet the right girl and she will be enough

 Illegal in America. What more to know? But if your wife does not mind you having a mistress (girlfriend), then what is the problem? You simply cannot legally be married to both of them. You can legally live with five or a dozen women in America if everyone agrees, but legally marry just one.
