As salam alykom
Let us just hold on for a minute and think, Intuition why are u mad at your grandfather? What crime did he commit? He just used a right legalized to him by Allah. Just be careful before getting upset with him, he didn’t do anything more than what most of the companions did.
Let us not say the Messenger because his marriages were of a different nature. As for us Mulims, I just grow concerned when I see people trying to verify a part of Sharia. Your grandfather didn’t commit Zina he got married. Let us differentiate before getting upset with people. If u think about it Islamically not personally, if u for one minute think from the viewpoint of any 2nd wife, u will see a different angle of course.
As for the responsibility and difficulty of working out a relationship, we as Muslim must always seek Allah’s support and guidance in everything we do in general. Just look at the Prophets’ stories presented in Surat Hud, u will not find a single one of them attributing his success to himself but rather to Allah. U think a monogamous marriage could work without Allah's Help? U think any relation could sustain without Divine support? Plus when people dedicate the act to Allah for ex when a man takes the intention in re marrying to help, support, provide for a Muslim sister, u think Allah Shall let him down? I don’t think so. Not Allah Whom we all know.
