Most interestingly about these podcasts to me is how the wives in the polygamous relationships handle the relationships with their husband. Is the management of their emotions a manifestation of sabr? For instance, in the Increasing Polygamy podcast Aliyah describes an “epiphany” where she became open to the second marriage her husband was taking on. I have to wonder where that comes from. Is it spiritual or religious or personal?
Further, I also found the way these relationships are structured captivating. Are the relationships with the husband separate from each other. Sure, they function as family units some of the time but are the wives involved with each other? How is the physical and emotional navigated in a polygamous relationship? The podcasts addressed these thoughts in passing but I do find myself curious.
