Polygamy

[Soledad]

prophet Mohammad married his wives as I mentioned for political reasons and also for pity reasons, because the islam nation was always in Jihad the men would die and leave behind them wives and family so will they be left like that?, no of course not, other sahaba will take care of them and their children, by this the society will be strong and united and there will be no poverty or helpless women, they did that by following the example of the prophet, but his wives were chosen for him by order from God he did not marry for lust,

Radiyah, I am a non-muslim but I do agree with you 100%. I'm not questioning the reasons of Prophet Mohammad for marrying more than one wife, not at all. I do understand the reasons and I accept them as such. What I'm question is this part of the message of one of the members:

Put it this way: you have one wife, you see her every single day (which is the case most of the time), eventually, it becomes boring. Can anyone argue? On the other hand, you have two, three or four, you see this one one day, you miss the other one, she misses you, you want to be with her. Then you miss the other one, she misses you, you want to be with her. So there's always life in the marriage there, there's always excitement, and so on.

This has nothing to do with the sacred of polygamy in my opinion about caring about other wives and see them as equal. Here in the last quote, we are talking about LUST and 'getting bored' of one wife and then go to another because of it. So I wanted to know what the Islam thinks about people who marry more than one wife just for the purpose of lust and not for the truly cause of the Islam. Thanks for your reply.
