There is this recent post in Yahoo Philippines titled "8 Reasons Why it Sucks to be a Kabit". The image used was a collage of recent Filipino films depicting lovers and queridas. Indeed, I noticed the sudden interest of pinoy film-makers in portraying the extra-marital affairs prevalent among Filipino men. Perhaps they wanted to shed light on the dark side of marriage in our country.
I do agree with the author. It sucks to be a kabit and we believers in biblical polygyny as part of God's truth do not ever recommend this lifestyle to any woman. With this in mind, let's take up the eight reasons mentioned in the Yahoo post:
1. I Still have a conscience.
Woman, do listen to your conscience. It is part of the spirit that we are extolled to communicate God with. You must do what is right and the right thing to do is to be informed properly, to be armed with the truth, solely based on the Holy Scriptures. Polygyny is a valid form of marriage allowed by the Great Creator in the Bible. Go here to learn more about Christian Polygamy.
2. You are having sex with a cheater.
Sure, the affair can be exciting and the sex great but, woman, a cheater is a cheater and soon it will be you. Most exra-marital affairs in the Philippines happen outside of, and often against the, guidelines of the One True God. Men are supposed to be the spiritual leaders of the family and, as such, should be the one leading you to Him. A cheating man leads you away from God and that should already be a big red warning sign. Check out this page to start learning the truth about it.
3. It is hardwork.
We believers can't agree more. The hidden mistress must truly work hard, at the behest of the cheating man, to maintain an active relationship and keep it hidden from view. Woman, are your clandestine effort necessary? No! Learn about Christian polygyny from real people here.
4. "No marks."
Well, woman, is it necessary to get your marks on a cheater? Why not get your marks on a man who believes in Christian polygyny and willing to stand by all his women? That way you can get your mark on a man who will proudly show you off to the world as his. Get to know how these men think here.
5. There's never enough time.
True, especially with a cheating man. His family is always the priority. Woman, ever heard about love and sharing? These women here thinks there is always time for each other in a polygynous marriage that adheres to the guidelines set by God in the bible.
6. He has regrets.
Well, what can we say? Regrets are borne out of sin and a cheater is a sinner, big time! That is why you, woman (all of us, really), must prioritize your relationship with God first, learning and studying His word. A man who do so won't have any regrets having you in his life as women are God's gift to men. Learn more about what the bible says about a man having more than one wife here.
7. The waiting.
Sure, since you, woman, is an illegal number two according to society and the traditions of men then you must wait in line for your turn. What if you are a co-wife instead? Covenant sisters with other wives? You will be at an equal footing with your sister wives. Impossible? No. Check this out.
8. Valentines is the loneliest day.
Okay, let's get something straight first. Valentines is the day for love, right? If you, woman, expects only one day every year for lovey-dovey stuff, you are too easy on the guy. Personally, I don't believe in valentines day. I want to show my woman she's important to me, everyday.
Now, an obedient, God-fearing man (married or single) will stick with God's command to love his woman like he loves himself, from the time they were married until death. So instead of worrying about lonely valentines, why not search for a guy that will love you as commanded by the Great Creator? Never be lonely again, not even a single day. This page might help you understand why.
Christian polygyny is form of marriage as valid as monogamy. Not everybody is called to live this kind of marriage but for those who do, it is a relief that God does not forbid it.
So you, woman, has grown to love a married man? Think about the freedom God's written word offers. Learn more about polygamy or, more appropriately, polygyny, as a form of marriage allowed by God at BiblicalFamilies.org.

Free Bible Software and Dictionaries.
I've been delving deep into the Bible, trying to get past the superficial meanings ingrained into me. One way presented to me was to have dictionaries such as strong's and some Greek lexicons. I found this Bible software that is free to download and use. There's a Strong's and several Greek plugins. A very useful tool for studying the word of God.

The evils of polygamy.
Polygamy is being "demonized" nowadays. Let's discuss the supposed ill effects of polygamy. We are only covering those that will fit a Philippine setting.
A. Domestic Violence
A 2008 National Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS) revealed that 14.4 percent of married women in the Philippines have experienced physical abuse from their husbands. A Philstar report in 2012 stated that these domestic violence against women and children are increasing. Any percentage of domestic violence is deplorable and the Philippines, ruled by the Catholic church since Spanish times, is largely a MONOGAMOUS country. Polygamy is only allowed among followers of Islam and only a few of these people live as polygamists. Besides, Muslims in the Philippines are private and usually does not get involve in government surveys on these topic. The statistics, therefore, means the Christian population.
Unfortunately, we don't have records of polygamist wives being subjected to domestic violence in the Philippines because Polygamy is illegal (bigamy) and frowned upon by Filipinos. Although I know of queridas (concubines) and girlfriends of married men who got abused or of married men who have queridas or girlfriends who abused their wives and/or children.
The thing is, domestic violence happens both in monogamy and polygamy. It does because these people do not live a God-centered life. It becomes doubly important to believe in and follow Jesus/Yeshua if we support polygamy. A Christian polygamist can only claim to be one if he walks with God.
B. Cult Mind Control/Religious Manipulation
We have numerous cults in the Philippines. There were news in the past of cult leaders having lots of women. Well, that's polygamy with mind control. Using God to further one's agenda.
I have one question though. I and the rest of "Christian" Filipinos have been bombarded since birth with that monogamy is the only form of marriage allowed. Everything else is bad. There's not much reason given except it i s what God intended and what we should follow. Ummnnn, does it sound suspiciously like cult mind control and religious manipulation?
For cult mind control and religious manipulation not to exist in any form, we should be given the truth and freedom to make a choice, just as the One True God allowed us to do.
C. Wedding Vow Breakers
Okay, I'd be honest. I was so busy looking at my bride and being happy when we were being married that the only phrases I can remember hearing and uttering back then were "until death do as part" and "I do." Discovering the truth about polygamy didn't change that. I still love her and I still think of little ways to make her smile like bring her flowers, chocolates, and an occasional breakfast of her favorite pancakes from a popular junk-food-chain. Oh, and she's not too keen with Polygamy. Yes, she knows already of my beliefs. I can't lie to her and she knows me and my moods.
Of course, Pinoy monogamists have a different story to tell. Support for a divorce law is gaining momentum. Read here, here, and here. It doesn't mean that the law is going to get passed. Besides, we already have options like annulment and legal separation but they do cost a pretty penny. Divorce will simply make marriage dissolution easier and cheaper.
The point is, the Philippines is a monogamous country by culture and religion but it is considering divorce due to the number of bad marriages and separated couples. I'm just wondering who is the wedding vow breaker?
D. Incest
Incest is simply gross, there is no excuse for it. But it does not stop some Filipino jerks to molest or rape their daughters, nieces, or cousins. Once in a while, we get news of such despicable acts. But who commit these crimes in this country? Yes, monogamists.
E. Marrying underage girls
Everybody must have heard of 60 year-old ka Freddie and his 16-year-old bride by now. I have nothing against ka Freddie regarding his choice and he has recently converted to Islam. However, I bet the monogamy mindset is still very much with him. The thing is, a lot of Pinoys go for younger women and nearly all of them are monogamists.
Hey, it is illegal to get hitched to a girl not yet 18 in the Philippines, aside from being harassed in social media, so don't get any ideas. Personally, I'm more attracted to mature and independent women rather than high school gigglers.
F. Jealousy and conflict
In polygamy, jealousy is said to be common among spouses because the husband cannot devote equal attention to each wife. The green-eyed monster is well and alive in the Philippines. Read here and here.Of course, it's not about a wife being jealous of another wife because polygamy is not allowed here. It does show that jealousy still exists in a monogamous culture.
The problem here is not polygamy, because it does not technically exist here, but not living with the word of God. Instead of jealousy and conflict, how about love, compassion, and understanding?
G. Economic
The Philippines is a poor country. How are we going to support more than one wife or family? First, there are many married Filipinos males who have girlfriend/s or another family on the side. These are not millionaires, just your ordinary Juan and Pedro types. There is no question of them about being able to support girlfriends or a second family. I know of someone who have three separate families.
Second, let's get closer to home. Ever since we were married, members of my wife's family has lived with us for extended periods of time (that's Filipino culture). Of course, not all at once. Sometimes there are up to three, sometimes only one. The little resources we have are shared with these relatives when they stay in our home. It is is not easy but we did get by. If, instead of relatives, we put a sister-wife and two more kids in the picture, we can see that we can easily live within our means.
The ting about polygamy and economics is we need to know when we have to stop adding wives. The Bible was specific about this. In fact, most of the patriarch in the Bible only have two to four wives, the kings being an exemption.
H. It's bad for the children
I can't quite understand this. If we add a sister-wife to our family does it mean I turn from a good and loving husband and father into a monster? I love my kids and I'm sure I'm gonna love my future kids as well.
It's only bad for the kids when they get bullied in school for having two mothers. But kids are getting bullied for a lot of reasons and polygamist will be ostracised in society. If polygamy is part of God's truth, does it mean we will deny it just so we get accepted in society? As Christians, are we aware of the coming tribulations and the mark of the beast?
As we can see, the reasons given by anti-polygamists does not hold much water. What they claim happen with polygamists also happens with monogamists. The truth is, if we don't put God in our lives, we are going to have trouble, no matter what lifestyle we choose.
A. Domestic Violence

With the current ratio of men to women, is there a need for polygamy?
One of the things anti-polygamists are using against polygamy is the ratio of men to women. In the past, they say that there are a lot more women. Polygamy was allowed back then so the few men can take care of all those women. Today, the ratio is like 1:1 or maybe a bit skewed in favor of women. There's really no reason for men to have more than one wife.
This is true in secular polygamy, if we can get all those men and women to pair up. However, there is more to it than meets the eye. We are talking about Biblical polygamy and God is not only present in the picture, He takes up the whole background. It means that God must be present in the lives of the polygamists, we must have a personal relationship with Him, become believers.
Now, if the ratio is 1:1, how many of those men would be believers? A hundred percent? I don't think so, as our times is ruled by rebellion against God. Let's say only 50% of men are believers (an extremely liberal estimate) then the ratio becomes 1:2. How about only 25% are believers? The ratio is now 1:4. The number of men who can love, protect, and take care of men under the guidance, mercy, and grace of God becomes fewer.
Okay, it seems like I'm being self-righteous here. But are not unwed women instructed to look for righteous and obedient husbands who prioritize their relationship with God in their lives? Are we denying women the right to be truly loved and attain true happiness, tranquillity, and contentment as part of a God-fearing man's family?
I have the misfortune (in the sense that I'd rather have them found different men for husbands) of personally knowing three women whose lives were profoundly changed and deeply affected by the jerks whom they married. The first one's husband packed up one day, saying he's just going home to his mother, but he never came back. That woman is now living with somebody else and we know what this means. The second one's husband is the personification of the sin of sloth. He lived off his wife's earnings and had the audacity to get intimate with a neighbour's wife. Talk about hitting the 6th or 7th commandment right on the head. The third woman's partner went abroad to work and never came back.
These gals are not perfect but they are good women and are pleasant to the eyes, to boot. It is simply their rotten luck to fall for rotten specimens of the male species because of limited opportunities. I've been asking myself what if polygamy is socially acceptable and these women were given the opportunity to find that "perfect" mate, regardless of marital status? Will they opt for a married man who has proven himself with an existing family?
I also know God-fearing women who are already well into their 30's but are still unmarried because they are unable to find "that" guy. Some say that their standards for men are high. I know better, they are not looking for some rich and handsome prince, they are looking for somebody who both fears and love God and obeys Him. They are terrified to absolutely submit themselves to some asshole jerk, as they are commanded to do in the Bible once married.
It is the men who are supposed to be the spiritual leaders and bread winners of the family. Will women simply accept their fate to be married to spiritual wimps because of cultural norms or false doctrines? For true Christians, the total number of men is not what it appears to be. Christian polygyny is no only about getting a man's name, it is more about a chance to be welcomed into a loving and supportive family.

Legalize Polygamy?
We are dealing with this topic in the context of Christian Polygyny. Polygamist are trying to ride in the coattails of the success of gay marriage to be accepted socially and legally. Regardless of the fact that one rebuttal of the anti-gay group in blocking gay marriage is that it opens up the opportunity for polygamists to push their agenda. I said "their" because polygamists are a very diverse group and have various reasons behind their causes and most of those reasons have nothing to do with following the word of the One True God.
So let us limit this particular topic to Biblical Christian polygamy. Do we really believe that a Christian man marrying two or more women will be accepted by society at large and their marriage made legal or accepted by the government? If polygamy is indeed allowed by God and is part of His truth, then is there a chance that it will be accepted by the nations?
My point is... this present world and time is not His and, during the end times, deceit will rule the world. The churches will follow false doctrine, installing and following teachers who will give them what they want to hear. So if polygamy is part of God's truth, then they will try to block and deny it as part of Satan's strategy to undermine His authority among men.
Fact, if we review history, that is what happened for the past 2,000 years. Right after Jesus/Yeshua died on the cross and ascended to heaven, polygyny was systematically erased from the norm. The concept of one man being able to love, protect, and take care of more than one woman was "demonized." It was replaced by Greek notion of the one true love, of soulmates. Instead of love being taught to women, jealousy and conflict were given prominence.
So do we even move to have Christian polygamy legalized? Do we try to become "normal" people in a society, living "nomal" lives? What is considered "normal" today definitely has some serious issues against the word of God.
I believe that Christian polygynists should keep the laws of man an arm's length away. We should not try to be integrated into society, we're only wasting our effort in inconsequential things. We should strive to spread the truth about Christian polygyny. We should strive to live the guidelines set forth in the word of God so people can discern the truth in the way we live and act. That way, other Christians may accept the truth about polygamy so we can live harmoniously together.
There are ways we can do polygamy without coming directly under the legal authority of governments and without breaking any of man's law. However, there is a good chance we will be shunned by our neighbours, maybe ostracised. That is not a bad thing. That is part of believing in Jesus/Yeshua as our Lord and Saviour, especially in the end times. We might even face death in the future for supporting Christian polygamy.
The Bible expressly warmed us in 1 Timothy 4 of men (false teachers?) departing from the faith and following false doctrines (of the devil). Specifically, teachings... forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth (1 Timothy 4:3).
We cannot be part of this world.

The Love Of Many Will Grow Cold
Matthew 24:12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.I came across this article in yahoo, "In God we trust, maybe, but not each other." It describes how Americans have lost their trust in fellow Americans for the past 20 years. In 1972 most Americans said 46% of people can be trusted, it went down to 32% in 2012. The Olivet Discourse immediately jumped to mind, specially the phrase "the love of many will grow cold."
Am not sure if the love indicated in Matthew 24:12 includes trust but the common notion of love does include trusting the one we love. Based on the result of that research, love is indeed growing cold.
Reasons for the decline in trust include less personal interaction, economic inequality, decline in moral values, and greed. All of these issues are covered in the Olivet Discourse. The article stated that being in front of the monitor or TV most times isn't helping.
On Polyamory and Being Cool.
The web is abuzz about polyamorous pod Michael, Kamala, and Rachel. That's one man and two women No, am not delving into the morality of this arrangement. They are all adults and we were given free will. It's just that most of the articles I've read regarding the trio are leaning in the positive side, with a smattering of the following words: loving, lasting relationship, honesty, happy, and beneficial to the kid. Nice. Almost like its a cool thing to do.
I'm just wondering why, when it comes to faith-based polygyny, I usually read the words "jealousy," "conflict," "abuse," "neglect," etc. Similar situation, one man, two women... and kids. Yet, it seems like if we bring God into the equation, everything goes downhill.
