The Bible’s perspective on marrying more than one wife is a topic that has sparked much discussion among believers over the centuries.

However, it’s important to note that the Bible often highlights the challenges, jealousy, and strife that arose in these polygamous families, like the rivalry between Leah and Rachel in Jacob’s household.
When we move to the New Testament, the teaching shifts towards monogamy. For instance, in 1 Timothy 3:2, Paul instructs that a church leader should be “the husband of one wife,” emphasizing faithfulness and commitment.
Jesus Himself, in Matthew 19:4-6, points back to God’s original design for marriage, stating, “the two shall become one flesh,” highlighting a union between one man and one woman.
While the Bible records instances of polygamy, it presents monogamy as God’s ideal plan for marriage, where love, unity, and mutual respect thrive.
Favor As Higher Power?
(The hidden truth)
Some positions in life cannot be held or retained for long if you are not favored. Favor is higher power. You are not the only one desiring, deserving, connected, powerful or qualified. Some positions in life, opportunities, success, achievements, triumphs, selection, approvals, power and position, elevation, patronage, etc, are mainly through favor. Favor is silent, spiritual and higher power. For spiritual guidance, other solutions, call/Whatsapp Dr J.A. Faros on 07030514063. With God, all are possible.
