Where did you see blessings in the lives from the men who took more then 1 wife? God intended men to have 1 wife otherwise He could have created more wives for Adam?God called His creation good and rested on the 7 the day...

I am not saying that God blessed it or it is what He desired, I am saying there is no support in the bible that God considered it akin to adultery, which more than one person has claimed it is.

As far as I know you're right in saying that there is no Biblical support for adultery for  having  more then 1 woman  in the O.T. 

I don't believe it was Gods will do you ? We never  did see any blessing coming from this  but only consequences of having more then 1 wife.

Question for you, why do you think women could not have more than 1 man?

I do not belive it is God's will.  

Because that would have given the woman power over the man, and at the time that was not going to happen.

you really have to think about how your wife would feel if you  came home with another woman and said it was other wife do you think that would fly

So it's an exception when men have more than wife

But when a woman has more than one husband everyone want's to say oh god forbid

 Explain to me how that would give woman power over the man????????????????????????????????????????
