Hmmm.... is that why so many western women are open to divorce? And, come to think of it, why so many accept homosexuality. Sin has social approval, but polygyny isn't sin so no approval. Yeah, that makes sense.

My wife who is the doctor faces that plus more because her ethics are called into question. She doesn't want to have to face any disciplinary issues. My other wife still has people (always so-called Christians!) wanting to help her divorce me...

I was shocked to discover how important social acceptance was to my own wife while discussing polygny. The idea of sharing was not an issue. The social stigma was. And, she felt the full weight of the social stigma when friends of hers called for...

Do the particulars not teach us as well? If not, why are they even there?

Highly second going to a retreat. They are a great blessing, a lot of fun, and everything else is more effective when you interact with people you have met face to face. You are in a good spot, where you realize the truth, but also have the...

The psychology to the whole thing is very interesting. When approaching a mixed set, you introduce yourself to the men first. You want to come across as a fellow man. You do not want to slink around and try to pick off women when the men in...
