Have you heard of the TLC reality TV show "My Five Wives"? This show follows the lives of Brady Williams, his five wives, and their 24 kids. They are all Mormons and they live near Salt Lake City, UT. I learned last night that Brady Williams has filed for bankruptcy, claiming about $23,000 in assets and $402,000 in debts.

People frequently claim that the slippery slope from gay marriage will be polygamy (forgetting that polygamy has been around for thousands of years). This is why I predict that we won't see plural marriages on every street even if polygamy does get legalized: it's expensive.

You will either need to be rich or else most of the spouses in the marriage will need to work in order to financially support a plural marriage. And, let's face it, a good chunk of those interested in plural marriages come from culturally- and religiously-conservative traditions that do not encourage moms to work outside of the home.
