I have recently been watching a show that airs on HBO called Big Love. It is on its third season, but I am just starting the 2nd. It is about a family who practices polygamy, but are separate from the compound which some of them were raised. A big part of me doesn't know why I feel compelled to watch it, as during some episodes I find myself so angry at their lifestyle choice, but then another part of me is intrigued and gets pulled into the drama (plus I love Ginnifer Goodwin). Polygamy is something that though looked down on highly in the US, it is still practiced in a number of countries around the world. Thinking of this makes me feel blessed that my husband can share his whole self with me, his one wife...
However if it weren't for sharing a husband, polygamy could have its benefits, for example I would probably be able to have a girl's night every night that Jeremiah is working (like tonight). Right now I would probably be watching a movie, eating popcorn and not writing this blog. Just a thought.
