This would be a issue of divorce or other issues that shows a break down in the covenant. Thus one who had such issues has had poor guidance or failure in the home etc... among other things.

Okay, that is your opinion, but again, why argue the point? Is this something you are advocating for or simply making the statement that God doesn't outright condemn it or call it an abomination? And again, when God created the earth and it made more sense for a man to have more than one wife than at any other time for the reasons of procreation, God only gave Adam one wife. The only time God actually controlled the outcome of number of wives, there was one.
