Monogamy isn’t cultural preference; it’s creational norm. Polygamy might appear in chaos, but it always deepens the chaos.

God’s design is simple and enduring: one man, one woman, one covenant… strong enough to build households that stand and kingdoms that last.

Polygamy offers no solution for modern America. We aren’t a nation of widows or war-torn refugees. There are sufficient men for women, and women for men. There’s no social necessity behind this new fascination with multiple wives. What we’re seeing is moral decay baptized in Christianese.

The men pushing it aren’t rescuing anyone. They’re indulging appetites trained by pornography and self-gratification. They’ve learned to crave novelty and call it freedom. The idea of chastity, loyalty, and lifelong devotion feels foreign to them, so instead of repentance they rename their lust “biblical.” They quote Abraham and Jacob but ignore the misery polygamy brought into those men’s homes.

It isn’t biblical masculinity driving this; it’s rebellion disguised as religion.

True headship disciplines desire and directs it toward one woman in lifelong covenant. Anything else isn’t strength; it’s slavery to appetite.
