Should we change the law to allow polygamy , whilst we are changing it to allow gay marriage?

It would definitely make the legal system much more complicated for when they inevitably get a divorce.
.
When I was in Morocco I was told that their form of polygamy reduced the incidence of divorce, but of course what works in one culture does not necessarily work in another.

I would much rather sacrifice my definition of marriage to support my principles of freedom. The reality is, in this and many other private affiars of people, there are those who wish to control behavior in order to enrich themselves either with money or ego.
In Nature the Mother puts down their young if there is something abnormal.
A good lesson for us to learn.
Would this be in both directions or even a many to many relationship?

Good point. I thought, what is so important about a word (married) when mostly the legal issues have been resolved but as you point out the Authorities have trodden all over the word when it suited them so why make a big fuss of it now ?There was a time when you said you were married and it was true.
Then there was a time when had to go to religious institution to say you are married.
Now, you have to go to the government to say you are married.
Why not go back to original way and everyone can do their own thing?
I choose to be married to one woman.
Should my choice govern you? I think not.
Marrying between races has been outlawed.
Marrying between religions has been outlawed.
Marrying people of the same gender has been outlawed and still is in my state.

I have been married to my wife for over 19 years (was married once before). Two things, one I do not think I could handle having more than one wife. Dealing with the emotions of one wife can be very draining. Second, if something would happen to my present wife, I do not believe I could get married again (again, I do not think I can handle the emotional baggage).
