Also, could you provide me with any scripture about saints only having one wife? I can see all over the bible and world people have been involved in polygamy.

I know a bishop should only have one wife according to the Word. I don't think this would have been mentioned if having more than one wife wasn't common.
Excellent fish! These days I do my fishing at the grocery store, but then I was always better at eating them then catching them.

If you have 10 girlfriends you don't have to wait to get married to be in trouble.:biggrin:

Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
Eph 5:25 (KJV)

Whenever I have read this, it never left me thinking that "wives" was pluralized for one husband, but now I see your point. Go out immediately and marry those ten gals (just kidding), however, I think one wife and one husband was what God placed in the Garden of Eden, and I suspect that is still the pattern He wants.
