Polygamy relationships? What do you think?

Marriage has been a unique partnership over the course of human history whether it be a caveman bonking a cave woman over the head or the desire of a mutual love in today's society. There are concepts of love/marriage that have been deemed wrong for instance sautomy or polygamy. Polygamy was created so women when the husbands went off to war and died would not loose their land. (Because women had no rights back in the day.) Polygamy isn't about sex; and, if it is that type of relationship it will always fail. The idea to teenagers and young adults sounds fantastic. You'll have all the companionship you'll ever need and more. But, on the factual level having more than one partner will be hard you will grow to love one more that the other so there will be a partner for pleasure and a partner for work. There are reason to love people some for their intellect others their beauty. The stresses of a relationship can only be magnified with more. Polygamy is only accomplish-able in dreams or loveless relationships.

I've done an open relationship. I had a girlfriend whom I had an emotional connection to, and a few other girls to fool around with. She had the same thing where I was the one she had an emotional connection to. Unfortunately it seems I get jealous when I think of her sleeping with other guys so it didn't work out.
However I have two friends who are in the exact same relationship and they do just fine. They've been dating for some two-odd years and are happy as can be.
It can work assuming both parties are up for it.

Well, here in the USofA, it's against the law. There was a television show about a polygamous family, and, well, they were all arrested and the show was canned.
Personally, I wouldn't have the nerve to do that to a person/persons. For many reasons, the biggest being that I don't think love works that way.

Anytime where you have an institution of multiple wives but not multiple husbands is a mathematical disaster waiting to happen, IMO. I've got no problem with the idea of one person having multiple intimate relations, but it's not something I could handle on my own, i.e. there is no way I could be a good boyfriend or husband to more than one woman at a time.
But I am very intrigued by the idea of "line marriage" from The Moon is a Harsh Mistress. In that system, it was a union of adults, and every few years a new person was added to the marraige, and it alternated between adding additional males and females. I would work out that the spouse(s) people were closest to were their relative peers (i.e. the people who were the same age and joind near the same time) whereas the older spouses were more like really intimate siblings.
The real pros of this system, as I see it, is you get the intimacy of monagamy, the variety of polygamy coupled with the wisdom, experience and guidance of older generations, all wrapped up into the same package.
