Keeping your options open with polygamy
Today’s average woman in the big city has an average of 1.7 children. In 20 years it is reasonable to expect 1 child per woman.
This is outrageous and unacceptable for the future of my children.
One option is to move out of the city into the provinces where children are still made in adequate quantites.
The additional option is to be open to polygamy… just in case.
Just in case a wife a son chooses is infertile.
Just in case a wife a son chooses refuses to have more than 1 child.
Just in case a wife a son chooses resorts to contraception and is engulfed in the contraceptive culture.
The common case in 20 years is 1 child per woman in the city. If my son was unlucky enough to marry an average woman, I then only wind up with 1 grandchild from that son. This by all pronatal angles is unacceptable.
This is why I suggest my sons be registered as islamic. Under Philippine law, Islamic people are allowed their freedom of religion to marry according to their religious beliefs. Islam allows up to 4 wives. A son of mine marrying 4 average women winds up producing 4 grandchildren for us. A couple of decades ago, 1 woman could easily and gladly produce 6 or more children, a time when I can agree monogamy may be seen as acceptable to my sons. But the beginning of this 21st century is the darkest of times for reproduction.
We fathers should be prepared to do what must be done. The polygamy option is no longer there merely to satisfy one’s carnal desires as pervert monogamists insinuate. The polygamy option is now vital to avoid imminent family extinction.
