So once again, researchers are discovering that biblical principles actually work in real life.

Well, uh, yeah, marriage has been a one-on-one arrangement, other than the multiple wives that are found throughout the Old Testament.

We sleep in separate rooms, we have dinner apart, we take separate vacations were doing everything we can to keep our marriage together.

So this is why Bill and Hillary are miserable people who despise the world and hate everybody. Makes perfect sense.

The multiple wives in the Old Testament were not directed by God and were shown to cause a world of hurt.

Only way for guys to avoid world of hurt is to not get married. Take Paul’s advice and stay awsy from women.

They probably should have created a longer headline - it made me think, “Well yeah, but what about BEFORE marriage?”

And Solomon's wives kinda screwed him over, too.

“other than the multiple wives that are found throughout the Old Testament.” Right, and there isn’t a one of those situations that lead to a healthy family life. Cautionary tales all!

though multiple wives were never prohibited by the bible. it is a stretch to claim that a capsule summary of a poly person’s life equates to a prohibition on that person’s lifestyle. this amounts to an interpretation by a person external to the words of the bible itself. everyone has an opinion.

Thats a very interesting graph. It seems a weird divergence between men and women happens at around 6-10 partners, making men more likely to report a happy marriage and women less likely, before converging at 11-20 partners.
Interesting.
I know correlation is not causality, and the article itself hints at that, but it is still interesting data. Many things could be driving the results though ...ranging from solid morals coupled with the married pair having the same set of good values (a key indicator for a good marriage), all the way to something most people dont like to discuss, which is choice. The more choice a person has the more likely he or she (but mostly for men since a woman whos not good looking can still have many men) will have multiple partners ...unless, of course, one adds the aforementioned good moral values. It would be great to see an analysis that also controls for looks/confidence ...I think we can all recall colleagues in high school and college who were virgins, but not out of moral standards/choice.
