That is the legal answer and I would agree. But, for a solution to the issue, it is going to come in the form of investigatory conversations about what her mental hangup is. If this is simply a biblical issue on her part then teach her the word...

If you can find in the following passage the need to ask permission from a wife, then you should ask permission. But I think we all should steer our wives to a point where she understands what is expected. When you go out to war against your...

Many made vows promising to be exclusive "keeping myself only to her" "forsaking all others" etc. Without such vows a man would have nothing in the way exactly..... but like Mojo pointed out, there is much to consider. A second wife is not as...

There is no law of Sarah. There is the law of God and he does not require a husband to ask permission from a wife in order to take another. If we want to look at biblical examples, there are more of men taking wives than of wives giving their...

Now that's a novel approach.... use the analogy of preparation for war for the selection of a second wife! That's similar to a preacher who explained why a newly married man wasn't to go to war (Deut. 24:5). He was to stay home so he would learn...

I’m not living a plural life so take this as you see fit. Could, would, should, must, can… Scripture doesn’t mandate it, but wisdom and domestic management warrants all kinds of considerations before choosing to go directly into the fire of...

Hi, you are correct in that there is nothing in scripture by instruction or example that would indicate an existing wife has to give consent for a man to take additional wives. Actually, when we look at the biblical structure of the marriage...

Hi! Im fairly new to this. My question is this - does the first wife have to give consent for the husband to marry a second wife? I can't find a definitive answer in scripture on this issue. Thank you for any scriptural answer for this...
