Polygamy: A Woman's Best Friend
Most of the time, when I tell someone I practice polygamy and share my "husband" with two four other women, they say "I couldn't share!" And that's what I originally said.
The truth is, though, that this is the happiest relationship I've ever been in, and maybe even the happiest I've ever seen.
I have an incredible guy. And I have two four female companions, who I consider my life partners as well. We are a polygamous family.
There is always someone to talk to, spend time with. There is all the help and support I need. There is more financial security and there are more people to handle the practicalities of life.
I thought I would get jealous. And I have, sometimes. I have learned and grown so much in this polygamous family. I have learned that I do not have to feel threatened, because love is not finite.
I have been in this relationship for several years now, and others have been in it longer. It is stable and real. It is a life-long commitment, in every sense except the legal one.
This site is to tell you about what our lives are really like.
So many people are curious about us when we tell them we are practicing polygamy. Especially those who know us well - we are all strong, successful women who are easily attractive enough to have a man to ourselves if we wanted one.
This situation has only made us all stronger and more successful! Not to mention more attractive.
This site will answer some of the curiosity that is out there about us, questions people ask and those that they don't ask, but are obviously wondering about...

Beautiful blog.I saw your comment on CNN that is how I found your blog. Thanks for putting the link there. Very fascinating subject. I've read several books on the subject most of them written by former "wives" of the FLDS sect. I didn't read your whole blog, I will try to as time allows. Can you leave a comment there? Thanks for sharing your family and information.

Thank you for standing up for all of us that believe in Polygamy as a good lifestyle choice. I read your post on the site slamming poly.

Hi there, just wanted to tell you how I'm enjoying reading your blog. I'm in the UK and have been very interested in polygamy/polyamory for a while now, but it's difficult to meet like minded people. I look forward to hearing more about you.

Thank you for this. I've lived alternatively in multiple relationships/cooperative households all of my life raising my children who have now given me 12 biological and address several more step grandkids and now I'm about to be a great grandmother for the 8th time. Even though I live alone now and my kids are all grown I know that this poly lifestyle works for those who are open to growing and changing. I too am not in the mormon faith but do have a faith that is open about multiple relationships. I wish I could connect with the Brown family and let them know how much I respect their courage for doing this program. Thanks for your comments.

I first read a book written by a former "sister wife" which painted a pretty grim picture of polygamy. However watching the tv show "sister wives" gave me a completely different perspective. While I wouldn't choose it as my lifestyle I can see that the family is very loving and supportive and the children seem extremely well adjusted. I don't think it is appropriate to make a lifestyle choice a felony. I wish all happy "sister wives" and happy polygamist families all the best. I hope someday the laws are changed.
