Is Polygamy Biblical (Part 3): God’s True Purpose for Marriage

Did God merely tolerate multiple marriages in the ancient world, or was polygamy part of the blueprint all along? In Part 3 of our series, Is Polygamy Biblical?, we move past historical examples and return to foundational theology: God’s original design and purpose for marriage. While figures like Abraham, Jacob, and David had multiple wives, Scripture tells a far deeper story about covenant, union, and the spiritual picture marriage is meant to represent. 🔥 To listen to our latest podcast episode or to read our blogs: YouTube: https://rb.gy/2lft30 ttps://lnk.bio/AboutThisLove https://rss.com/podcasts/about-this-love/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ma.maven?lang=en

When you read through the Old Testament, one pattern quickly becomes hard to ignore: many of the most prominent figures in Scripture—from Abraham and Jacob to David and Solomon—had multiple wives.

In Part 1 of this series, we dive deep into the initial issues and theological tensions surrounding polygamy in the Scriptures.

When does well-meaning family advice cross the line into marital interference? When you get married, you don't just marry your partner—you blend families, traditions, and opinions.

Episode 94: Navigating Our Insecurities—Do We Have the Emotional Bandwidth?

Insecurity is a universal human experience, but managing it in our relationships is a completely different challenge. In Episode 93, we dive into a heavy but deeply necessary question: Do we actually have the emotional capacity to handle each other's insecurities? When someone we care about is struggling with self-doubt, jealousy, or fear, our instinct is to support them. But realistically, holding space for someone else's emotional baggage while managing our own can lead to exhaustion, resentment, and crossed boundaries. We’re getting honest about the limits of our emotional bandwidth, the difference between being supportive and enabling, and how to navigate the messy reality of two imperfect people trying to show up for one another. 🔥 To listen to our latest podcast episode or to read our blogs: YouTube: https://rb.gy/2lft30 https://lnk.bio/AboutThisLove https://rss.com/podcasts/about-this-love/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ma.maven?lang=en
