Although paligomy isn't the relationship I would choose for myself, I feel people who are should be respected for their choice. If others are mature, selfless, and giving of themselves they most certainly deserve the up most respect. I feel if something should happen to either of the wives ( death/disability) then the children will already have a mom to love and rely on and will not have to worry about a step mom and if she really loves them. Paligomy has been in existence since before the coming of Christ as well as being spoken of in the Bible that a man can have seven wives as long as he is able to support them and the children.
