It's just so hard for men to be alone. It's hard for women too of course.<br /><br />It seems rare for a man to keep his covenants to his wife & wait for her to return & repent. <br /><br />It's even rare to hear of righteous kind husbands who are staying faithful to & serving & 'madly in love' with their abusive, cold, unfaithful wife who stays with him.<br /><br />A righteous man, like Moroni, will also show such his love by always doing all he can to stand up for & protect 'other women' around him from the abuse, adultery & abandonment of their husbands & others, instead of just going along with it, like everyone does. That kind of man IS very rare. <br /><br />Do you know many men who do these things? I hope there are more out there than I have seen. I know they are out there but they do appear to be rare.<br /><br />Even the 'belief' in 'True Love' is very rare. <br /><br />How many would give their life, even one lonely day at a time, to wait for & eventually save their eternal marriage & wicked prodical spouse til they returned & repented, maybe not until the next life, if their spouse left & remarried someone else?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3880654315943365046.post-73371732301114573932010-08-14T16:48:09.027-06:002010-08-14T16:48:09.027-06:00What??

That is a very sad statement and one with which I heartily disagree. I'm sorry that has been your experience.lcnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3880654315943365046.post-12091914415691297132010-08-14T14:28:29.908-06:002010-08-14T14:28:29.908-06:00I disagree. Polygamy is not even close to the sac...I disagree. Polygamy is not even close to the sacrifice women make by pregnancy & giving birth & caring for babies & children or the sacrifice women make in even going along with polygamy when forced. <br /><br />Polygamy, or at least having multiple women, is the natural man's carnel lustful desire that most all men have had throughout the history of the world & thus the men in many, if not most, societies have created that perk for themselves, even when not commanded by God to live it. <br /><br />The reality is, the more evil a man is the more women he usually desires to have. Polygamy is no sacrifice to most men, in fact God must command men to NOT DO IT unless he commands it, for it is so alluring to the carnel minds of men.<br /><br />To consider it a sacrifice for men, is like thinking it's a sacrifice for children to eat candy.<br /><br />But, a rare 'righteous men' who has True Love for his wife, would be repulsed at the idea of polygamy, even more than his wife would be. He would rather die than live it or do anything to injure his wife's feelings. He would not desire to look around at women & date & try to get women to marry him. <br /><br />If a righteous man was forced to live polygamy by his wife & God, he would let his wife do all the choosing & looking around, while he kept his eyes, mind & heart on his wife, like Abraham did.<br /><br />And Monogamy is actually the 'grand test' to see if a man could even be worthy of another wife. For men also 'give up their life' to the wife at the altar, just as women 'give up their life' to the man. Men must give the same sacrifice at marriage as women, even before women do. Not childbearing, but instead, total submission to the wife. <br /><br />The test for men is to see if he will continue to love & serve his wife the rest of his life & put her needs & desires & wishes 1st above his own & all else, no matter what. <br /><br />Having True Love for 'one wife' is the test a man must pass to recieve Exaltation, let alone become worthy of more than his one wife.<br /><br />But a man with True Love for his wife is so rare in this world, that most people never witness it, let alone pass the test of Monogamy & True Love. Thus, plural marriage will probably be rare in the Celestial Kingdom, at least for men.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
