"I wish she gave me more attention.. Why do I have to beg for intimacy?.. Maybe I should consider a second wife!" 

Today we're unpacking a trend we’re seeing more often: men considering polygamy, and women actually open to it. While polygamy is part of our faith, it’s not a free pass for avoiding deeper issues in a marriage. 

We also talk about the practical side: the legal messiness of polygamy in the West (it’s actually criminal in Canada), the emotional toll on everyone involved, and why it’s not always the solution people think it is.

This episode isn’t here to judge, but to offer a real talk on what’s halal, what’s practical, and what might need more therapy than a second nikah. Give it a listen. You might come out with more questions than answers (and that’s kind of the point).
