I started to talk about the benefits once with a mono only couple and they quickly pointed out that "Satan offers benefits" ...and that is where I quit trying. But if I talked hardships they would claim that as evidence God isn't blessing it....

So, polygyny benefits are Satan's illusion, while any problems are Lord punishing you.

So good stuff comes from Satan, while bad from Lord? I would expect opposite from Christians.

Reminds me of Proverbs 17:28, Even a fool is counted wise when he holds his peace; When he shuts his lips, he is considered perceptive.

ouch!

I'd reply but I want to be counted wise.

People with that mindset will selectively apply verses, use them when it suits them, discount it when it works for your position. There is no reasoning with them.

We've got some of this going on right now as a matter of fact.

Absolute brick wall reasoning with no listening occurring. She will deny verses we give her, then counter with out-of-context verses which clearly don't say what she's adding to them.

Strong delusion that they should believe a lie....that....believed not the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

I am more often thinking it fits.

That was my life for 20 years!

This proves just much you are special, @Joleneakamama.

In our gynocentric society, if most women were like you, polygyny would already be accepted.
