From what I have seen and heard, it is proving un-natural.

All along I thought the question was if mahogany is natural!!!! ..."Wewe ni mtu mdogo sana....na mwenye amekuandika pia ni mtu mdogo sana!".

Men:
If you are a deacon or a bishop it is. 1 Timothy 3:12
Otherwise:
Genesis 1:28 Exodus 21:10 Deuteronomy 21:15 2 Samuel 5:13 1 Chronicles 3:1-9 1 Chronicles 14:3 1 Kings 11:3 2 Chronicles 11:21
Because you don't want this:
1 Corinthians 6:9-10 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5 Ephesians 5:1-3, 5
So, marry as many as you need to in order to avoid burning.
Besides, what CEO only has ONE direct report?
Women:
Monogamy always.
All:
I make no apologies for being a Christian that reads his bible.
You have to ask yourself:
Do you want to be like these great men that God himself chose in the bible,
or be "watered down and bound" by the West (monogamy is THEIR culture) that has condemned God's plan?
A West that would rather see abortion and gayism under the guise of "rights" and "progression" but refuses God's way? That embraces fornication and adultery in their music and movies all day every day, but condemns God's institution of marriage!
A West that would like to see "population control" and "family (destruction) planning" while they take fertility pills and use 14 times the resources of everyone else.
Do you believe in God or in man? Why put undue limits on yourself? Men are wired one way, and have their roles. Women another way and have their roles. The man is the CEO. The wife(s) are the CFO, COO, CSO, CAO, General Counsel, etc. just like in any successful organization.
This is controversial I know. So, I'm waiting for this to turn into a fiery discussion! But it is what it is, and successful, powerful men have their wives, publicly or privately.
Think LEGACY.
Best,
Hill

@jasonhill, a leader sets an example for the follwers to follow, right? Why would a deacon be required to have one wife if his followers can have as many as they wish?
Secondly, if monogamy is western culture and not God's plan, why did God create only one wife for Adam?

Deacons and Bishops are to have only one wife because they are not focused on building thier own homes and organizations. They have sacrificed that to build the house of Lord; they are called to do so. For us "non-levites", we are under no such restriction according to the bible; men are to have at least one. The Lord God made first only Adam, them from Adam he made Eve. From there, mankind was capable of procreation. There was no need for multiple Eves as man's God-given instuction would create the generations. Had God intended monogamy for all He would have said so in His word. Yet his chosen Men were blessed with wives and the instruction to multiply was and should be fulfilled. Best, Hill

Apparently, even sleeping in the same bed with someone else is not natural. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/5197440.stm
