Why did Abraham have more than one wife?

Question:

Why did Abraham have more than one wife? 



Answer:

From the beginning, it was the Lord’s will that one man and one woman should be together in marriage.  (Read Matthew 19:5-9.)  It was not the Lord’s will for men to have more than one wife and there were consequences for having more than one wife.  (Read Galatians 6:7.)
