Question:
Are multiple marriages (polygamy) wrong?

 

Example of multiple marriage: Abram, Sarai and Hagar. Genesis 16:1-6, Sarah realized she was wrong to tell Abram to take Hagar since she wasn’t bearing children to him.

Answer:
In every example of polygamy in the Bible there was trouble. God’s plan for marriage is the uniting of one man and one woman. Adam was instructed to “…cleave unto His wife [not wives]” (Genesis 2:24).
