1 Corinthians 7:2 AMP
But because of the temptation to impurity and to avoid immorality, let each [man] have his own wife and let each [woman] have her own husband.
LET EACH WOMAN HAVE HER OWN (EACH and HER OWN ...not having to share with another woman her husband)
1 Corinthians 7:4 AMP
For the wife does not have [exclusive] authority and control over her own body, but the husband [has his rights]; likewise also the husband does not have [exclusive] authority and control over his body, but the wife [has her rights].
1 Corinthians 7:29 AMP
I mean, brethren, the appointed time has been winding down and it has grown very short. From now on, let even those who have wives be as if they had none...
1 Corinthians 7:33-34 AMP
But the married man is anxious about worldly matters–how he may please his wife– And he is drawn in diverging directions [his interests are divided and he is distracted from his devotion to God]...
1 Corinthians 6:16-17 AMP
Or do you not know and realize that when a man joins himself to a prostitute, he becomes one body with her? The two, it is written, shall become one flesh. [Gen. 2:24.] But the person who is united to the Lord becomes one spirit with Him.

1 Timothy 3:12 AMP

(What Christian man would disqualify himself from being a servant of the church of God by allowing himself even the mental prerogative to possess more than one wife?)
Titus 1:6 AMP

Ephesians 5:1, 30-32 AMP
THEREFORE BE imitators of God [copy Him and follow His example], as well-beloved children [imitate their father]. Because we are members (parts) of His body. For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother and shall be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. [Gen. 2:24.] This mystery is very great, but I speak concerning [the relation of] Christ and the church.

1 Kings 11:1, 3-4, 6 AMP
BUT KING Solomon [defiantly] loved many foreign women–the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, and Hittites. He had 700 wives, princesses, and 300 concubines, and his wives turned away his heart from God. For when Solomon was old, his wives turned away his heart after other gods, and his heart was not perfect (complete and whole) with the Lord his God, as was the heart of David his father. Solomon did evil in the sight of the Lord, and went not fully after the Lord, as David his father did.

Leviticus 21:7, 13-14 AMP
They shall not take a wife who is a harlot or polluted or profane or divorced, for [the priest] is holy to his God. He shall take a wife in her virginity. A widow or a divorced woman or a woman who is polluted or profane or a harlot, these he shall not marry, but he shall take as his wife a virgin of his own people, [I Tim. 3:2-7; Tit. 1:7-9.]
Deuteronomy 17:17 AMP
And he shall not multiply wives to himself, that his [mind and] heart turn not away; neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.

When you go forth to battle against your enemies and the Lord your God has given them into your hands and you carry them away captive, And you see among the captives a beautiful woman and desire her, that you may have her as your wife, Then you shall bring her home to your house...
If a man has two wives...
Psalm 128:1, 3-4 AMP
BLESSED (HAPPY, fortunate, to be envied) is everyone who fears, reveres, and worships the Lord, who walks in His ways and lives according to His commandments. [Ps. 1:1, 2.] Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine in the innermost parts of your house; your children shall be like olive plants round about your table. Behold, thus shall the man be blessed who reverently and worshipfully fears the Lord.
Proverbs 5:17-19 AMP
[Confine yourself to your own wife] let your children be for you alone, and not the children of strangers with you. Let your fountain [of human life] be blessed [with the rewards of fidelity], and rejoice in the wife of your youth. Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant doe [tender, gentle, attractive]–let her bosom satisfy you at all times, and always be transported with delight in her love.
Proverbs 18:22 AMP
He who finds a [true] wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord. [Prov. 19:14; 31:10.]

House and riches are the inheritance from fathers, but a wise, understanding, and prudent wife is from the Lord. [Prov. 18:22.]
Ecclesiastes 9:9 AMP
Live joyfully with the wife whom you love all the days of your vain life which He has given you under the sun–all the days of futility. For that is your portion in this life and in your work at which you toil under the sun.
Jeremiah 3:1 AMP
THAT IS to say, If a man puts away his wife and she goes from him and becomes another man's, will he return to her again? [Of course not!] Would not that land [where such a thing happened] be greatly polluted? But you have played the harlot [against Me] with many lovers–yet would you now return to Me? says the Lord [or do you even think to return to Me?]
Malachi 2:13-15 AMP
And this you do with double guilt; you cover the altar of the Lord with tears [shed by your unoffending wives, divorced by you that you might take heathen wives], and with [your own] weeping and crying out because the Lord does not regard your offering any more or accept it with favor at your hand. Yet you ask, Why does He reject it? Because the Lord was witness [to the covenant made at your marriage] between you and the wife of your youth, against whom you have dealt treacherously and to whom you were faithless. Yet she is your companion and the wife of your covenant [made by your marriage vows]. And did not God make [you and your wife] one [flesh]? Did not One make you and preserve your spirit alive? And why [did God make you two] one? Because He sought a godly offspring [from your union]. Therefore take heed to yourselves, and let no one deal treacherously and be faithless to the wife of his youth.
