The fact of the matter is that women were never designed to share a husband, anymore then men were designed to need more than one woman sexually. Solomon and David were perfect examples of a constant biblical principle throughout the scriptures, which is that the lust of the flesh is never satisfied. If one woman isn't enough, two won't be either. Then 3 won't, and on and on. Once you don't take those thoughts captive, and allow them into your heart, you will then seek out variety, and no amount of it will ever be enough. There are so many scriptures that speak of never being satisfied, and then there is the contrast which is being conten at all times. When God said that if we delight ourselves in Him , He will give us the desires of our hearts, He wasn't saying that our lusts will be gratified, but rather that we would be completely happy with what ever he gave u. Our hearts change, not our possessions. Part of the curse was that the woman's sorrow would be great. Again, polygamy was a big part of this, because God knew that He designed the woman to be man's counterpart, not his property. The ironic thing to me is that the polygamists want to blame women who would be hurt and offended by polygamy , for sinful jealousy, yet never stop to think about where their desires to have more than one wife come from. A woman having her own husband, whom she shares with no other, is how she and he were designed. So it is quite unfair and inappropriate to say that man should be able to happily live out their sinful desires, but the woman has to get over her sinful jealousy. Just think about that logic. It doesn't make sense.
If so, I don't think that's necessary in a reply to someone's post.
