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.
