Members RA1 Posted October 26, 2013 Members Posted October 26, 2013 Interesting, but what is the point? In today's society of open relationships, etc. why bother with "formalizing" a polygamous relationship at all? I think we used to call 20 people living in 2 rooms "hippies". Now, they call them immigrants. During the history of various countries of the world, there have been religious and economic reasons to have more than one SO but have not those times come and gone in the US? We no longer need 9 children because 3 died in infancy or early childhood and the rest need to work on the farm to help support the family. In fact, China and other countries recognize the reality of limiting further population explosion. I have no problem with "group support" so long as it supports the emotional and maybe the economic needs of the group and does not add to the population. But, that is just my opinion.
