All human interaction can be explained via Covariation (thank God for Price) which simply put explains the revelation of Selfish behaviour in all species. We are one if you've forgotten. We can rise above it , but it's a tough battle and I believe we're losing the war
what about BROTHER HUSBANDS for the sister wives?
Why are the sister wives always skinnier, younger and prettier.
What a load of HOOEY!
Those people are screwed up! They like throwing that 52% divorce rate out there just because the "wives" can come and go as they please. I wonder what the rate of separation is in their culture. I wonder how many of the women get involved in this and have a child or two, then leave. Their kids are going to think they are nuts when they get older. Kids aren't stupid, they'll go along with the game if that's what they are told, but when the breakup happens, you'll hear it from them!
OK PEOPLE. QUESTIONS NOT ASKED ON THIS SHOW. QUESTION NUMBER ONE...WHAT KIND OF EMPLOYMENT DOES THIS MAN HAVE THAT ALLOWS HIM TO SUPPORT TWO FAMILIES. AND QUESTION NUMBER TWO...WHAT IDIOT WANTS MORE THAN ONE MOTHER-IN-LAW!!!
Absolutely. I think the people invited to trash polyamory ( the correct term, polyandry for multiple husbands) have a very narrow viewpoint based on their personal experience from which they have not healed. It is completely sensationalistic to have someone like that come on without a supporting viewpoint for rebuttal. The couple and their potential sister wife have not had the experience and are exploring and therefore need to hear both sides. Poly relationships are NOT abusive, NOT immoral, and NOT damaging to children unless the people involved make them that way. Such relationships are only difficult for children because OTHER ADULTS teach their children that anything different is 'wrong'. I'm really disappointed in Anderson for this episode. So totally unfair.
Potential Wife #2 better think long and hard about being in this situation, because reality is reality, even if it's not how we want it to be. Not too many insurance companies will pay for her medical bills as a "sister wife". She will find it hard to get and keep jobs. There will be lots of reasons given for why she is asked to leave (or not hired), but the real reason will most likely be that the company does not want its name associated with her's (This could be true for Wife #1, too). No matter what the adults think, the kids are going to suffer. Ask any kids whose parents are gay, lesbian, bisexual, dwarfs, have birth defects, or are any other kind of "non-average". Then there's the sex. Give me a break. There aren't many women alive who won't try to be sexually perfect when there is known competition. (Don't even TRY to convince me that the guy doesn't know this!)I would really LOVE to see this situation ten years from now and get an update on the topics I commented on. I would bet a lot of what I own that I am right.
Why is it polygamy is typically comprised of one man and several wives? This seems illogical. The more wives the more likely there will be more children...Who supports these children financially? Women usually make less money than their male counterparts. This may be unfair but remains a fact. So using this logic it would much more practical for one woman to have several husbands.
If nothing is missing from your first marriage and you're getting everything you need out of the marriage, then there is no reason to add on more wives. If you need someone to help take care of the kids, get a nanny. If you need someone to be a friend, call your friends. Its just a reason for the husband to cheat, but in a legal way where wife #1 won't get mad and leave him.
Hello, on the part of having a sister wife, just thought i would ask if he would agree to another brother husband? How would he feel if the woman had 2 brother husbands that looked a lot better than he did? I think this is just a fantasy for the male part of his life. What would he think of his children call someone else daddy 2 or daddy 3?
Bible does not agree with more than one wife.
The sister wife thing, why do you not see women with more than 1 husband, hope this gets answered and NO not interested!!!
I wonder if the "husband" would be willing to add another "Husband" to the *family (*I use this term loosely)?
How does a person get into a safe site? Im watching your show right now and I know I have a lot of love to give, Im single and do not go out, or enjoy the dating sites. I would love to meet someone with a family. I have 2 boys whom enjoy their lives, 1 whom is Gay. I have 2 beautiful Grandkids. Im lonely and would love to be involved in a Life! I enjoy my time alone BUT would love to have something more! Thanks Anderson for your show!
I love the Good Wife!!!!!! I can't miss it!!!
Only if she did all the housework. Seriously No WAY.
