How do Mormon wives who are 1 of multiple wives, deal with jealousy?

We are human, and jealousy is a natural human reaction when someone else is sleeping with our significant other.





So, I am wondering...how do married Mormon women deal with jealousy knowing their husband is banging 3 other women...and not just any women...his other wives?





I don't really care about the religious aspect of it, I just want to know...on a human level...how these women don't want to kill each other?How do Mormon wives who are 1 of multiple wives, deal with jealousy?
Mormons don't practice polygamy. If they do then they are promptly excommunicated from the Mormon church.How do Mormon wives who are 1 of multiple wives, deal with jealousy?
Yes, jealousy is part of human nature, and in polygamist families, I'm sure it can be an issue. I think, though, that most of the women who enter polygamist marriages were raised in polygamist homes and were at least used to the concept of sharing the husband. It probably isn't as big a problem as you and I would think.





Incidentally, though, Mormons aren't polygamists. Any Mormon man caught with more than one wife is immediately excommunicated. You're thinking of the Fundamentalists, who aren't Mormon at all.





And please don't use Big Love as a source of information! The creators of that show are certainly anti-Mormon, but they're mostly using the supposed Mormon connection as a way to get people to watch the show. Every time the ratings drop, they ';reveal'; some great secret about the Mormon religion...and those great secrets are usually total nonsense. The Big Love characters are nothing like actual Mormons. Mormons don't practice polygamy. We don't live on compounds or wear bonnets and long dresses. We certainly don't have child brides. Big Love isn't accurate about anything at all.
This doesn't occur anymore, that's the old days. Try asking a Mormon that question. I have. They say if it still occurs, it's in the backwoods and you don't hear about it. Good question, though. I'm sure the wives live together and get along with each other and their husband, and know at anytime he will find a new wife. Mormons can't have sex with someone until they marry them. Kinda extreme and unnatural, but who am I to criticize?
I would assume over time they get used to it, this way when one has a headache, the other sastisfies, chores are done by 3 chicks instead of the one and the only problem I see with the arraingement is the poor guy has to deal with 3 chicks bleeding every month and it probably sounds like he is getting b i t ched at in 5.1 surround
No Mormons answering yet?


I've seen some documentaries and polygamy is still practiced discreetly or in small mountain towns. But it is not just Mormons. There are still places in Africa that it is permitted, and the Koran permits it if you can afford to support them.





One story from Africa a man complained that his wife made him a polygamist. The wives were allowed to take communion but he wasn't. Not fair!! because the first wife choose the second and brought her to her husband to have more help with her work. It makes sense in places where they don't have all the machines and kitchen aids we do. I'm surprised the Amish haven't thought of it.
There are no FLDS on here, they are not allowed to get on computers.


From the documentaries I have seen on TV about the FLDS, the women get the man on rotations. The first wife is in-charge, or in command. They were brough up this way so this is all they know, and believe in it. Just like muslims, they will not leave because they have a sence of community, as for any abuse to keep them there, it is still being investiagted, the oler men will get rid of the younger men called th elost boys so there is no competion.
LDS (Mormon) people don't practice polygamy.





If you want to talk to one of the FLDS polygamists who practice polygamy...well, I'm pretty sure the women aren't allowed to talk about it AND they know no other life, so you won't get very far there.








Oh good grief, please tell me you did not just say you take television shows created to make money SERIOUSLY, did you?
Mormons no longer practice polygamy, that's why the FLDS group was formed. You know all the religious freaks that live in the desert, behind gates, and the authorities came and took all their kids last year. I think they got them back, though, so they continue their brainwashing.
Funny thing is- after I hit my 50's- I began to think- gosh I wish I had a wife around here- so I could be a lot more free now, to do 'my thing'. LOL I thought gosh I'd allow a second wife right now- as long as she didn't want any kids................NO more kids, Oh lord please. LOL But sure- by then I'd of been willing to share the old goat with another live-in woman and housekeeper.
i would say it has something to do with brainwashing. The fact that they have lived this way for however long Mormonism has been a religion and its still working for these women so it has to be some kind of mental wash.
First of all the LDS church does not condone polygamous relationships, or extra-material relationships for that matter.





Another question would be how do the wives of other Christian men deal with their love affairs?
The LDS church does not practice polygamy.. If you find someone claiming to be Mormon and practicing polygamy they'll either be excommunicated or part of FLDS.
okay most mormon people do not have multiple wives nowadays


they don't practise that
They're brainwashed into thinking that it is a god inspired relationship.
Why can't a moreman woman have a whole bunch of husbands?
they do lesbian fuckee fuckee long time
they are told that it's a sin to be jealous.
Well, fortunately they don't have to worry about this--unless you are speaking specifically of the FLDS sect (which started as a group of apostate Mormons long ago), the Mormons do not practice polygamy or plural marriage in these days. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints ceased the practice of plural marriage more than 100 years ago!





In the early days of the Church, I suppose some women may have experienced jealousy. I would not be surprised if such emotions were felt. However, there are a couple of things to consider: 1) The first wife would have to approve of all other wives before her husband married them. If she became jealous thereafter, at least she knew about the situation beforehand. 2) All additional wives would already know that the man she is marrying is already married to another woman. Like my previous example, they would already know what they are getting into before they are committed.





I don't wish to treat this lightly (so please forgive me if this is in poor taste), but in a way it would be like signing a contract to rent an apartment, which will require you to share a bedroom with one other tenant. Then, after living there for a month, you get jealous because you don't have your own room all to yourself. Is the feeling of jealousy justified? I suppose, but at least you knew of the circumstances and agreed to take part in this living arrangement before you signed the contract. If you don't like such an arrangement, then don't sign up for it. Likewise, if a woman anticipated that she might get jealous from sharing her husband with others, she had every right to prohibit such an arrangement from occurring.
(Note the polygamous FLDS are Mormons too, just like the more common LDS.)





It is extremely difficult. If you read books like ';Escape'; or ';Stolen Innocence';, you see the same theme over and over - competition.





Women aren't as motivated by sex, but they have to compete for attention, time, status, money, even food and clothes for their own kids. They have to compete with the kids of the favorite wives directly as well as the wives.





Most husbands are uninterested in being a referee. There is no defined power structure in the home, so the women are in a free-for-all their whole lives as they compete for every scrap of scarce resource. And since polygamous men take on far too many dependents, all resources are scarce.





It is really a hellish life for most. My grandmother grew up in LDS polygamy. When her own mother died, there was no one to protect her from the other wives. She became a very literal slave to them until she could run away.





Sex is the least of their problems, except that it is needed for creating babies, and their status depends on how many they can crank out.
I am not a Mormon wife, but I don't mind speaking for them. They deal with jealousy just like anyone else who can't do anything about it. They close their eyes and minds to it, and accept this cult teaching as if it came from God. It is amazing how human beings can lower themselves to such evil deceptions that come from the Mormon Church. Talk about desperate housewives.
well idk if they actually do cuz of the first answer but my guess would be that women are just objects and its a serious offense for them to act on their jealousy and its like against their code of laws
