 We're moving on! Don't panic, we didn't fall apart! Our polygamous family is as strong and happy as ever! We accomplished what we set out to do-- to show the world that consensual polygamy, divorced from religion and devoid of child brides, welfare fraud, and other crime, is a viable lifestyle choice. It's not for everyone, but when it works, it works very very well. Consensual polygamy is big news! In the past three years, we've been invited to be on Dateline NBC, Larry King Live, the Secret Lives of Women, the Tyra Banks show, and several pilots-- including pilots for National Geographic and the Discovery Channel. We appeared in a BBC documentary, which was broadcast in the U.K. early this year. By reading through our blog, you can find entries on the pros and cons of polygamy, the nitty gritty of living together, thoughts on jealousy, alternating legal marriage, the biological and demographic facets of polygamy, and many other related topics. We'll leave the Situations Wanted up for another year, but won't be adding to it. We'll tuck any public service announcements under this entry and change the date so our farewell is always on top. Be sure to check out our Sites of Interest for up-to-date information on polygamy and a chance to chat with like-minded others or to find your extended family. We'll continue to read and respond to any email you send us, at least for a while. Thanks for being our audience for so long! Keep your eyes on the horizon, and don't look back! Sincerely, and with love, Martin, Karen and Lisa.
Pink Sneakers Productions (of MTV’s True Life, VH1’s Hogan Knows Best) is doing initial casting for a new documentary series chronicling the lives of people leading alternative lifestyles. The series will be airing on a major cable network. One of the episodes will be focusing on polygamous relationships. We are searching for people willing to share their stories in hopes of shedding light on this important subject and opening up a dialogue of understanding. We would love to talk to you and learn more about your organization. For more information on this project please contact me. Also, feel free to forward on my information to anyone you know that might be interested in this opportunity. Looking forward to hearing from you!

My name is Muhammad Nafees, I live in Pakistan. being a Muslim I am allowed to have plural wives (maximum of 4 at the same time)Iam 45 years old and have 2 wives, 1st wife 41 years with 5 kids and 2nd wife 33years old no kids as yet. It was great to know that some people in America beleive and practice polygamy.
Majority of people (even Muslims also)are not easily convinced in the favour of polygamy but the good thing, in my country is, that, it is legal.
I beleive that this lifestyle is not for every one just like mongogamy is not workable for every one (thats why divorce rate is increasing vastly all over the world) .
Its a special kind of life style for special kind of people. Who want to grow and evolve spirtually.
I congratulate you for the step you have taken and wish you a very happy life and good luck.

I am pleased to say that we have someone that I think will be a good match. Now I have a good problem... how do legally marry a second wife. Do know of a resource where I could go to figure this out? How do most people do it?
Thanks again for your time. My wife and I both thought the same thing that you prove that intelligent (sound minded), handsome people are believing God in these things. I see this because we have seen the contrary.
 Jorge and Kalina are looking for a wife-- My wife, Kalina, and I are from Charlotte, NC and we are looking for a second wife. We are a loving couple married for over 12 years. I am 34 and she is 38 years old. I fell in love with Kalina when I was 19 years old, and I married when I was 22 years old. We have a strong, loving, and happy marriage and friendship. We are both professionals, I am a Certified Public Accountant and she is a school counselor. Soon after we married, we started traveling around the world and visited most of Europe including Italy, France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Greece. We have also been to Peru, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and all over the US. We are both physically fit and exercise almost every day since we believe it is important to be healthy physically, mentally, and spiritually. We are also Christians, and are honest, faithful, and trust each other very much and are strongly committed to each other. Six years ago we started to try having children with no success. Since then, we have been to numerous fertility clinics and tried many IUIs and IVFs in an attempt to have children and a family with no success. Unfortunately, we have come to the conclusion that we are not going to be able to have the family that we always dreamed of. We always wanted to be parents, and we wanted to have many children since we can provide for them and we are a very loving, generous, and caring couple. We are not interested in adopting children, or a surrogate mother, and instead I am looking for a second wife and life partner. An equal partner to join Kalina and I in building a family together. This is a decision we made in our life together because it is the right decision. We did not make this decision to spice up our marriage or for selfish reasons. I am looking for a wife that is witty, has a great personality, loves to laugh, is adventurous, confident, strong, has good values, is religious, and has goals and dreams. Basically, I am looking for the mother of my children, and the second love of my life. I will love you and cherish you just as much as I love my wife, and if you have the chance to talk to her, you will realize how much I love her. Trust me, you will have the opportunity not only to have a family, and be a mother, but to travel the world with us, and live the rest of your life as a member of our family. I will also help you to fulfill all of your personal dreams in life so that you are a happy member of our family and provide for your retirement. That is my promise to you, and I always keep my word. I can answer any questions you might have, and you may also email me at jorge_jr_98@yahoo.com if you are interested. God Bless. --Jorge
It's in the news, so it must be true. Men who live in polygamous cultures live 12% longer than men who don't. Virpi Lummaa, an ecologist at the University of Sheffield, suggested that after accounting for socioeconomic differences, men aged over 60 from 140 countries that practice polygamy to varying degrees lived on average 12% longer than men from 49 mostly monogamous nations.Actually, this is quite an innovative and careful study, and factors out the gross national product of the culture, the "grandfather" effect, and other variables. You can read more at Study suggests polygamy may lead to a longer life.Chris Wilson, an evolutionary anthropologist at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, believes the care and attention of several wives who depend on the social status of their ageing husband could explain everything. "It doesn't surprise me that men in those societies live longer than men in monogamous societies, where they become widowed and have nobody to care for them."
We've left out some details, which you can get directly from Amber. But if you're living the polygamous lifestyle and interested in appearing an a major television documentary, here's your chance-- What I'm looking for is an active polygamist family that is interested in being filmed in a documentary style. This is a PRO polygamy point of view. I will fill in the details with anyone who contacts me. This is intended for television. My email is Amberdawnlee@yahoo.com and put "Polygamy" in the subject box.
Thank you,
Amber

Chasaty is working hard to try to legalize polygamy. You can reach her at chasaty379@aol.com.
 Hi, My name is Sheryl and I live in San Jose, CA. I am 38 years old, unmarried and I have no children. I have been looking on the internet and came across your blog. I am interested in seeking out a polygamist living situation. Please forgive me if I am not using the right language. I am not intending to be disrespectful.  I am hoping you can advise me on how to go about this. I do not have anyone else I can talk to. I have lived varied degrees of the lifestyle most of my life. I have a vast emptiness inside me that I feel can only be fulfilled by a family. Most of my family is deceased or scattered. I am educated, intelligent, very-open minded, not jealous, loving, loyal, respectful, sexual, knowledgable, hard-working, moral, & ethical and most of all I believe in Jesus Christ. Any information you can give me would be appreciated. I am open to relocating. I do have dogs and not willing to give them up. I have attached a few pictures so that you know I am for real and not wasting your time. Thank you for your time God Bless, Sheryl [You can reach Sheryl at Sisterwife@Ymail.com]
