For a time, God did permit a man to have more than one wife. (Genesis 4:19; 16:1-4; 29:18-29) But God did not originate the practice of polygamy. He provided only one wife for Adam.

God authorized Jesus Christ to reinstitute His original standard of monogamy. (John 8:28) When asked about marriage, Jesus said: "He who created them from the beginning made them male and female and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and his mother and will stick to his wife, and the two will be one flesh.'"-Matthew 19:4, 5.

One of Jesus' disciples was later inspired by God to write: "Let each man have his own wife and each woman have her own husband." (1 Corinthians 7:2) The Bible also states that any married man in the Christian congregation who is given special responsibilities must be "a husband of one wife."-1 Timothy 3:2, 12.

Why is your wife mean to you?

A wife should be much more than a woman who is just there. She should be a man's companion, the one thing that leads him to rise out of bed, to go to work, to do everything he does. A wife is to a man as the stars are to the sky, that the man with a wife is the man with everything. She is who bears his children. She is who kisses him gently, who helps him and at times annoys him. There are few things a man should love more than his wife, and if that's not the case then she is not the woman for YOU.

Is it mandatory for a Muslim man to have more than one wife?

A:About the same number of boys and girls are born, so for each man who has two wives, another man must remain unmarried. It would therefore be impossible for every Muslim to have more than one wife. Even in countries where polygamy is legal, most Muslims choose to have only one wife. _____________________________________________________It is practically exceptional for a Muslim man to marry more than one wife although he is entitled to marry up to four wives at a time.
