Please read Quran with translation and you would know that God didn't allow 4 wives, rather He restricted it to 4 and then suggested not to have more than 1. Why would God suggest to not to have more than 1 wife if polygynous environment was the best. It's a permissible compromise not the best arrangement.<br /><br />I think new convert women fall prey to sex hungry Muslim men out of their extra ordinary sincerity for (distorted version of) Islam. <br /><br />If you believe that polygynous environment is beneficial over monogamous environment then this is closer to Mormon church. It doesn't have to do anything with Islam.<br /><br />Btw, If sharing husband is such a humbling experience then why not sharing wife? I suggest you should take more than 1 husbands so that your husbands could also achieve similar spiritual benefits as you. That would be the best spiritual environment for you and your children and all sister-wives and brother-husbands.<br /><br />If anything works for you then its fine, you don't have to justify it using some screwed up arguments.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4772985086227453517.post-2418827923042583062009-08-20T02:15:21.319+01:002009-08-20T02:15:21.319+01:00For the record, I do value spiritual benefits.

I also believe that learning to love others, learning to be unselfish, and learning to forgive those that hurt us are very important attributes that we all should be seeking to gain. In fact obtaining these attributes is one of the main purposes of our lives in my opinion. And with God's help we can obtain them.<br /><br />"isn’t the best goal in life to get rid of those dirty things within ourselves and let that best of character which is in us to fully flourish? So we may all be like stars of goodness on this planet?" I could not agree more!<br />:)CMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09877094036608437791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4772985086227453517.post-12011460418033283592009-08-11T11:12:33.152+01:002009-08-11T11:12:33.152+01:00I think we have to distinguish 'reason' fr...I think we have to distinguish 'reason' from 'a reason' aka 'excuse'.<br /><br />Committing a crime does not benefit society therefore it is an acted on without 'reason'. It is 'unreasonable' to expect to abuse without being punished, therefore, within the framework of society, the greater good demands reason from its populace.<br /><br />As for Spiritual benefits, I see love as a spiritual act all on its own and whereas I feel it is the goal of everyone to attain a sense of betterment in everything they do, I would not go as far as to say that there is nothing else worthwhile in the world.<br /><br />regards,<br />NNatja's Natteringshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02345321471190596172noreply@blogger.com
