A study was just released stating that by the year 2030, over 52% of women between the ages of 23-44 would not be able to get married and would not be able to have children as a result. With so many younger women nowadays not being able to successfully find love/marriage with someone who is willing to commit and have children, is it time to legalize plural marriage in America by at least allowing it to be an option or alternative for those who choose? Whether it’s something the rest of society agrees with or not in their personal life, or whether a person would or wouldn’t be involved in plural marriage themselves, is irrelevant. The question is simply this… Is it consistent under equal application or equal protection of the law that government should no longer unconstitutionally prohibit the legal practice of plural marriage, aka polygyny? The way it is currently with the anti bigamy laws, it seems very hypocritical and it can be argued that government is applying protections of law only to certain groups who cry for equality the loudest! So to recap, if a man is already married to one woman and she gives permission for him to be in a second or third marriage to an additional woman in each marriage, assuming they are all of legal age and everyone consents without duress of their own free will, why shouldn’t he and the new wife be able to also show up at any county courthouse in America and request an additional marriage license? US Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts in his own dissenting opinion regarding the LGBTQ legal marriage decision made it clear from a legal standpoint on how the court would most likely rule should a case for plural marriage ever be brought before the court when he said “It is striking how much of the majority’s reasoning would apply with equal force to the claim of a fundamental right to plural marriage.”

In a 2018 study that looked at sexual behavior of those between the ages of 18-44 years of age, it was found that less people are getting married compared to those in the past. One highlighted reason had to do with men not making enough money for women to consider marrying them.

Modern women were interviewed around campus and most wanted men to make at least 6 figures to consider them marriage material. With the average figure being 100k/year for men to be considered marriage worthy. In addition to this, most women in said interview were put off at the idea of being with a man who makes less than them. Now, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the median wage for workers in the United States in the second quarter of 2022 was about $1,041 per week or $54,132 per year. Thus, men are expected to make 2x the median salary of your standard American to be considered marriage worthy.

Do you think these expectations are reasonable?

I have an opportunity to marry a younger woman who has an excellent personality and is a very hard worker. We have been friends with for a few years now. It was her idea is purely for economical reasons. It would benefit us both.

But I am not in love with her and she knows that. She said she doesn’t care if I date and sleep with other people. This would be a paper marriage.

I have gotten advice for a few trusted people about this. All but one person said it’s a bad idea. I am leaning towards no myself but besides the economical arrangement a part of me wonders if I’ll ever find an ideal partner given my age.

Ever since I hit 36 (in my early 40s now) my dating life has been hell on earth trying to find a truly decent woman I feel attracted to. I have had a few flings with attractive women who would make horrible wives. I tried dating a girl who i felt so so about physically just for her personality. That slowly got agonizing. I ended up breaking up with her and that ended very badly (she went psycho).

However of me just WANTS this life milestone. But I don’t want to be an adulterer. Even though she understands I might date other woman I do have spiritual beliefs. Oddly the Bible doesn’t say anything direct about premarital sex (but it heavily implied that’s not alright). But it is VERY clear about adultery. I wouldn’t feel comfortable cheating on my wife. Even if it really is a paper marriage and it doesn’t sit well with me.
