I'm not too wild about the concept of polygamy, but I would live it if the Lord commanded me too. However, I don't think there's much danger of that. You have to be able to afford multiple wives, after all, to be called upon to do it.

I personally would not live it even if it were legal and it came back into practice unless I was commanded to even though my wife jokes around that she could use some help around the house cleaning up after "your" children. Funny how they became solely mine that day!
Finances is the big concern. Not many could support an extra spouse. I don't think my health insurance company would go for having two wives at the same time under the policy. Then having to mow two sets of grass and do upkeep on two houses. I love my television way too much for that!
Not living in the Zion belt, the current crop of wacko apostate polygamists running around the southwest scares the living daylights out of me. Maybe some people are more used to it living in the same state as them but I don't know if I could do that. Just looking at Warren Jeff's picture creeps me out. I really don't want to be even remotely assosiated with his ilk.
Then there is the problem of who I would end up with for a plural wife. With my luck all I could find would be some homely looking sister with a bad attitude. I mean how lucky can a guy get when finding a spouse? I figure the the odds of me striking gold a second or third time are pretty slim especially that I'm now set in my ways. And there is no way that I will ever go back to the dating game again. If I accidentally break wind on a date with my wife it's funny. Do that with a girl you are starting to date and all the single sisters in the ward look at you like you're a freak. I just can't handle that sort of rejection again.
I'm surprised no one picked option one. Are you all a bunch of cowards! I sure am!
I went back and voted finally on this. And the vote was that I refuse to vote because it makes me uncomfortable... (Green Silent Ninja made me say it)
Since I would never be in a financial situation to afford supporting more than one wife, if it ever happened that we had to and I was "called" to do it (), I'd probably be told "Bro. Cat, you have the privelege and duty to take Sis. Mahanna as your wife if Mrs. Cat agrees..." Sorry, I'm a descendant of a plural wife of my great-great grandfather, and life was not peachy between them , besides the fact he was as old as her father when he was called to take her as his wife after the Saints started migrating out of Iowa...
