Me, My Husband, and Our Wife are Having a Baby!
I will say I'm sorry for the poor kid, though.

And how many people are doing this? Not that many thus far. I think the true war on marriage is easy divorce, having a family court system that discriminates against men as much as the Islamic one discriminates against women, and having economic policies that are ruining family-wage jobs in the banana rep...I mean USA.

Interesting. I wonder how the mom would feel if her husband got a girlfriend too. my money says their "wonderful marriage of love" would disentegrate in a flash.

Notice how the Husband was really excited.

My husband has always been someone I could see myself building a family with. We were together for three years, but I knew on our first date this was a man I could spend the rest of my life with. - article

I couldn’t handle the wave of emotions that came over me. As for him, he was thrilled to be a dad. He’s always been the type whom you could tell wanted to be a father since they were younger, as he was always taking care of those around him. That’s just his personality. He’s always thought of everyone else over himself, even at this moment when he was glowing with excitement he asked if I was alright.

I gripped his hand tighter and nodded while continuing to cry. I was happy. With his next breath he said, “I can’t wait to tell Sarah.” And in that instance I knew I had the perfect partners to start a family with. Sarah is my girlfriend and together she, Kevin, and I were about to begin a new journey as we started our family.-article

Good luck to them and I hope they can raise beautiful children... the hard part will be once the children get older and you start teaching them about morality.... well if there is any in this case..

At least the child will have a Father and a Mother and mom's girlfriend.... much better than having 2 mothers / 2 fathers...

She didn't mention that aspect of it, but all of the polys I've known have been bisexual, the idea being that whomever is available may join in. As a non-spiritual person I could see how this could work pleasurably, at least for a while, but even without including the commandments I doubt it could be maintained other than in a very, very few cases.

Consideration of commandments throws it all out the window anyway. As hedonistic as my mind has been at times in the past, even I can see how this makes a mockery of marriage.

Just more fruits of polygamy. Just so his banana [re pubic] can endure it...

As that is today can anyone deny it was that way in Utah in the 1800s and early 1900s? Heard a lecture from an anthropologist who has written extensively on polygamy that this did take place, at least on a limited scale, in those days but the husbands did not object. I have also heard more than a few Jewish women speculate that the lack of any condemnation of this in the Torah might have too do with this. Again, as long as the women were "multiplying and replenishing the earth."

On this issue my only concern is that in these cases, are they like the standard mistress situation in which the woman wastes her fertile years in a relationship and then gets kicked to the side someday, having squandered her chance to be a mother? If a man and two women are involved in polyamory the hope would be each woman gets encouraged to have children as that is the first commandment to mankind. What they do behind closed doors is of less importance.
