This week, Nostraboris tackles the moral dilemma over marriage and religion. Should people get married? If so, why
shouldn’t they be allowed to marry several wives or husbands? I’m not sure if I agree with his opinion, but he always provides an interesting point of view.
One of my favorite HBO shows, “Big Love“, has placed me in a similar frame of mind.
HBO introduces a typical American family. Like many others, the head of the household, Bill, is naive about his kids’ dedication to abstinence, and un-apologetically chauvinistic. He is sincere, consistent, and loved for it. In stead of one wife, he has three. One blond, one brunette, and one that switches back and forth. Far from the glorified maids, or a 12 year-old you’d expect to volunteer for this arrangement, these are real women. They work jobs, have needs, are vocal, and sometimes do more than simply look at other men.
Personally, I fail to keep a single woman happy, so I admire a guy that faces triple the pressure of “normal people”, without heading for the hills. In fact, America should honor a man who provides food, shelter, and a rotating spousal service to all his baby mamas.
It makes you wonder: Why is it illegal to be married to more than one person? I have yet to hear an argument that isn’t completely based on distaste, or prejudice. Exactly who is the family hurting with their lifestyle?
