Can someone explain Mormon to me?

How many wives do you get exactly? I know you tell outsiders 1, but this is the internet, you can level with us.

That depends. If you want to REMAIN a member of the Church itself, then the line is one. If not, take the over.

Personally, I can't imagine having to live with more than one woman. Aside from the obvious upside that all guys would be happy about, is any guy in favor of having more than one woman to deal with? God must have ordered Joseph Smith to actually start the plural marriage thing, because no reasonably self-interested guy would ever think -- "Hey, here's a good idea! Let me get two or more people to snark at me, tell me my faults, and ask me to change diapers!"

I couldn't love my wife anymore than I do (we've been together over 17 years), but she's plenty. One more woman in my life would mean a psych ward visit.
