Krishna was told to have 8 wives (or the Ashta-Bharyas). They are:
Originally Rukmini was the daughter of the great King Bhishmaka, Lord of Vidarbha. He in no way wanted to have Krishna marry his daughter and he was in the process of betrothing her away to Prince Shishupala of Chedi. Since Rukmini was so in love with Krishna, and he with her, Krishna stole her away on her wedding day and took her to Dwaraka where they wed.
During this life Krishna (Vishnu's reincarnation) sought to always make her happy. He did this by doing whatever she wished, irregardless of the wish. A tale is told of her infamous tantrums; while the Lord Indra came to Earth and visited Krishna he complemented Rukmini's beauty and gave her a Parijata flower. Satyabhama threw a tantrum and Krishna went into the spirit realm and brought her back an entire Parijata tree to plant.
However, while these tantrums were not always appreciated, Krishna loved her fighting spirit. She was gifted with Archery in warfar and also was very good at picking arguments which entertained Krishna immensely.

I often told my students during lectures that there are at least two of my ancestors, who were able to make the God to surrender to their will. One was Bhishma in the Mahabharata. The grand old man knew that Lord Krishna is the infinite God. During the great holy war of Mahabharata, Lord Krishna declared that He will not use any weapon in the war. Duryodhana thought that the Lord Krishna was of no use in the war with out the weapon and opted for the army of the Lord Krishna. Arjuna was too much happy to have his dear friend (Lord Krishna) with him in the war. Bhishma came to know about the declaration of the Lord Krishna as to not take weapon in His hand. Bhishma said that if he was the true disciple of the Lord Krishna, he will make Lord Krishna to take the weapon in his hand. That was "the confidence" level of the Bhishma was! Then, during the war Bhishma had a fierce war with Arjuna. Arjuna became helpless. So Lord Krishna got angry, lifted the broken wheel of the ratha, and ran towards the Bhishma. The Bhishma was too much happy. He welcomed Lord Krishna with tears of happiness in his eyes, with open arms. It was the greatness of the Lord Krishna, the infinite God, to bow to the will of the one, who worships Him with true love and faith. In another example, the Lord Vithhala (Another name for Lord Krishna ) went to visit the Pundlika at Pandharpur, located in Maharashtra state of India. Pundlika was massaging the legs of his parents. Pundlika saw that Lord Vithhala came to see him. He did not abandon the massaging of legs of his parents. Pundlika thew one brick towards the Lord Vithhala. It is said that from 28 ages (yuga), Lord Vithhala has been standing on the same brick, with both his hands on his waist. Hundreds of thousand people go on the feet every year to visit the Pandharpura. The tradition is about 8 hundred years old.
