It can be, depending on the situation. For example, polygamy can allow a woman to work out of the home and still have a mother at home to care for her children. It allows a man to have the extra attention he might seek. It allows women to have sisterhood and support within her own home. It allows parents to have more custody options for their children in event of their death. It allows families to have extra income and thus be more financially stable. However, polygamy can also cause jealousy and division among women, a high amount of stress for a man working to care for multiple families, and in places where polygamy is illegal polygamist spouses do not have the legal protections that those in monogamous marriages would.
