How I feel about polygamy

I think the way I feel about polygamy is approximately the way I feel about adopting children.

1.) It's something you do out of love, not out of a need to be loved. (Or at least, that's the appropriate motivation.)

2.) If the Lord commands it, there must be a way. Nevertheless,

3.) I couldn't do it alone. Sorry. I just don't have that much capability, and I would mess up. Frequently. I would absolutely require full support from my counterpart and/or divine intervention.

So, even though I like kids a lot I won't be adopting any, any time soon. And I'm not going to marry some random girl, either--it would feel too much like polygamy, since my heart is already allocated, and as stated above I can't split myself in two that way without support. And if I had support from her, I'd be married to her and not to our hypothetical random girl. QED.
