God's advice on marriage is timeless since he is the author of marriage.
Christian Standard Bible; Exodus 20:10
If he takes an additional wife, he must not reduce the food, clothing, or marital rights of the first wife.
I guess since I have the money to support a ton of wives, that would be OK with God
Show this Bible verse to any Woman, Christian or non-Christian, and see the reaction.
No woman can be happy marrying a man who already has several wives. The idea back then, when God gave this advice in Exodus, implies that woman were not meant to be happy, instead, they were meant to raise children, especially boys. That’s why the Bible always praises men like Jacob who had 12 sons and those twelve sons made the Nation of God.
The only time the daughters are mentioned is when they are mentioned in bad light, like Jacob’s daughter Dinah.....the fornicator. .
Just imagine what it was like for Jacob’s two wives, who disliked each other because Jacob favored one over the other and they had to bargain with each other to have sex with their own husband.
Genesis 30:14 Rachel asked, “Please give me some of your son’s mandrakes.”
But Leah replied to her, “Isn’t it enough that you have taken my husband? Now you also want to take my son’s mandrakes?”
“Well then,” Rachel said, “he can sleep with you tonight in exchange for your son’s mandrakes.”
Now imagine how awful it was for Solomon’s 700 wives and 300 concubines.
Modern laws, at least in the USA forbid men from having more than one wife. Ask Joseph Smith if you don’t believe me.
Ask any woman which law they prefer, the law God gave in Exodus or modern law that men can only marry ONE woman.
God could have easily told the Israelites when he gave them the 10 commandments.
11th commandment; Men can only have ONE Wife! ……..it’s that simple.
Maybe, just maybe, the Bible is man's creation, man's thoughts, and men back then loved having a bunch of blonds, Redheads, and brunettes at their disposal, so they wrote it into a story that says; "God Says having many wives is OK.
