More Than One Heart, More Than One Home: The Unspoken Realities of Polygyny

We are often sold a simplified version of love, a polished narrative where everything falls into place with enough faith and good intentions. 

In the context of polygyny, this narrative is even more pristine: a vision of harmonious homes, shared sisterhood, and a husband’s love expanding infinitely to shelter all. It’s a beautiful ideal. But for those living within the intricate architecture of a plural family, the rea...
