"Boat polygamy"

I got excited. Thought these rich dudes finally got it - decided they could be polygamists at sea, at least, where state law doesn't apply. In 15 seconds, was planning a 'ministry' to them, based on a large sailboat in the Caribbean probably...


Eh, no, they want multiple boats. Losers.
I sea what you did there. 🛥️


I finally read the article and for a glorious 15 seconds, I too imagined a nautical revival: wise, wealthy men finally realizing that the real treasure isn’t buried gold, but Proverbs 31 times three, sunbathing on the deck while knitting baby clothes.

I had the ministry planned out in my head:
  • Name: The Ark of the Covenant Households
  • Mission: Rescuing wayward men from monogamist mediocrity
  • Slogan: “Two sails are better than one, and three wives keep the wind steady.”
  • Statement of Faith: “Where there is no coast guard, the polygamists cast off restraint.”
Of course, reality struck like a rogue wave. Turns out the article was more “lifestyle fluff” than Levitical law. No mention of headship, covenant, or even how to rotate deck duties between wives.

But imagine the possibilities:
  • Baptisms off the stern,
  • Family worship under the stars,
  • And wife #4 rowing while the rest sing Psalms. 😇
In all seriousness, though, your idea isn’t crazy. Abraham didn’t need a yacht, but he did walk out the faith where no empire could stop him. Maybe a boat is just today’s wilderness.

Let’s face it, the land is crowded with licenses, legal traps, and Babylon’s paperwork. But out there, with the wind of the Spirit and some extra life jackets, maybe men could rediscover biblical liberty.

Until then, I guess I’ll just keep praying... and pricing catamarans. 😉
 
  • Bus or 12-passenger van – “I believe in your vision.” That one’s basically a mobile compound for covenant expansion. 🚐💥
We had one extra seat in our van when we bought it in 2019. Married off two children, then added a wife +1. Now marrying off another and she has had 2 more littles.

Life is just full of dynamic changes!
 
Of course, always have vehicles available to go and get parts for the one that you are working on.

Or to put it another way, always one available if the other/others aren’t available. 😉
Does this imply keep at least one women available for love making? 😅🤪
 
A new car from a wife? That’s either a love offering… or prophecy. 😄


But now you’ve got me wondering, what kind of vehicle was it? Because that might tell us what she’s really saying…

  • Sports car – “You’ve still got it, babe.” Or maybe, “You’ll need the horsepower to keep up with me… and maybe wife #3?”
Don't be shy. You can still keep up even with wife 12th.

  • Minivan – “We’re going to need more seating capacity soon.” 👀 Definitely a polygyny hint if I ever saw one.
Is new wife 18? You, her and posterity.
  • Pickup truck – “Build something. Haul something. Provide something.” A nod to dominion work, more wives, more kids, more lumber.
If truck can't carry 5 tons, plan is small house. If 5 ton truck, plan is villa.

  • Luxury sedan – “You’re a king, and I want you to ride like one.” Maybe even, “You need to look the part for that growing household.”
Maybe hubby need to start new business.
  • Bus or 12-passenger van – “I believe in your vision.” That one’s basically a mobile compound for covenant expansion.

Looks like new school building for homeschooling would also be needed.

Your vision is a bit narrow, but if that’s all the farther it goes…….
