You may have seen the television show called Sister Wives. It, and other recent programs, introduced many to polygamy for the first time.

Numerous legal issues arise where polygamy marriage is concerned, particularly in United States. Polygamy is not technically legal in the US. If, however, you have met a woman whom you would like to include as one of your wives in your polygamist relationship – and she lives out of the country – how do you legally bring her into the United States?

Under traditional circumstances, a fiancée visa could be acquired, thus allowing her to enter the state and legally marry you. But the problem arises with the legality of polygamous marriage.

Legally Marrying

In this situation, where you're bringing someone into the country on a fiancée visa, in order for her to legally marry the person designated as her fiancé, that fiancé would first (technically) need to divorce his other wives. That way he'd be available to marry the woman entering the country. Of course, that's probably not going to happen in a polygamous relationship.

Not being able to legally marry all of the wives in a polygamous relationship can also present problems when it comes to adopting children, insurance benefits for children, extending benefits or security to wives, etc.

Security for Sister Wives

While, legally, not a lot of security is provided to sister wives courtesy of laws and the government, much of the "security" experienced by them revolves around the man in the relationship. His character will have everything to do with how loved and/or secure each sister wife feels.

A lot of things need to be decided upon ahead of time, before entering into a polygamous relationship. In this type of “marriage” it is not uncommon for some members to feel needy, experience jealousy, anger, and more. Some of the immediate security of sister wives can come into question due to simple human emotion.

Actual financial security, especially if something should happen to the husband, is another matter. Technically, unless at least one of the wives is legally married to the husband, very little in the way of financial security will automatically be guaranteed. Even if it were, it would only apply to the legally married wife. In a will, of course, a husband can leave his estate (or parts of it) to anyone he chooses.

There are a lot of technical and legal issues involved with polygamous relationships. Your best bet is to hire an attorney who is on your side. Yes, they do exist.

Assistance with Your Legal Issues

To make sure you're doing everything as aboveboard as possible, retain a lawyer who is familiar with polygamy and all of the legal problems that can arise with the lifestyle. While the attorney will not be able to find a way for you to legally marry all of your wives, you may be able to work out a plan that will see to the security of your wives and/or children.

While we will not promote one particular attorney here, by Googling something on the lines of "attorneys who can assist polygamists with legal issues", you should be able to locate a handful of attorneys who can be of assistance. Many will even provide a free consultation.

Polygamy has its benefits – even beyond what you would likely think of right off the bat. One such benefit of a polygamous family is the fact that all of the children have a father figure. In many homes today, a "dad" is lacking for various reasons. This is not the case in a polygamist family, where there can be a number of sister wives, many children, and one husband/father.

For the male member of a polygamous relationship, time management can be challenging, to say the least. Though everyone has agreed, ahead of time, to the circumstances involved in a polygamous relationship, human emotions can still present problems. Feelings of neglect, jealousy, and more can end up causing a rift in the family. If the husband can give equal attention to all parties concerned, however, everyone stands a better chance of getting along successfully.

Is that even possible?

Family First

One of the most important things for a husband and father to remember is that family time trumps all other things. Naturally, a career is a very important aspect of life because it helps to support the family and maintain a desirable lifestyle. By when the chips are down, a husband and father must be available to his family over anything and everything else to maintain a successful family unit.

Managing Time and Relationships

Setting up some “rules” (for lack of a better word) will help manage time and attention. Naturally, everyone involved should be part of this and agree to all of these rules:

• Figure out how much sharing among others will be agreeable (having dinner with more than just one person, for example).

• Always allow for some one-on-one time with each person in the relationship.

• Boundaries must be set and agreed upon (example: don't text or call the wife or husband when they are spending quality time together).

• All partners must show respect for each other.

• Set realistic expectations.

• Open and constant communication and honesty is of the utmost importance.

• Don't forget to spend some "me time" with yourself, even though you’re spread pretty thin trying to spend time with others.

As crazy as it may sound – or not – you might even want to set up an actual schedule on a calendar or in your computer. At the beginning of the week, everyone sits down with the schedule and tries to work out a way that makes each person in the relationship happy and fulfilled.

Combining Quality Time

While spending one-on-one time with a wife or a child is, obviously, preferable to most individuals, some polygamous families have achieved great success by combining the time they spend with family members. For example, take several or all of the children out for a fun day so you can spend quality time with all of them – versus just one. The same can be done with two or more wives. Plan a romantic getaway, dinner, a weekend, etc. with two or more wives instead of just one.

The best way to look at this is that combined time is better than no time at all. You're all grown-ups. You've all agreed to this type of relationship. You have to work together. Sacrifices may need to be made on occasion. It's all part of the agreed-upon lifestyle.

Some of today's matchmaking services and/or dating websites go far above and beyond offering a simple photograph. Many today employ video chat or Facetiming. While the process to engage in video chats may vary slightly from site to site, they all operate on a pretty basic level.

Here, we will go through some of the steps involved – again, at a basic level – and then give some pointers for those who aren't particularly familiar with this incredible option.

Video Chatting – How to Start

So, you've decided to video chat. Good for you. As a very basic example, here's how to enable the video chat on a dating site:

• A VIP membership may be required, so check

• Go to the person's profile with whom you wish to chat

• At the top of the screen, locate the video icon

• Tap the icon

• To unlock the face-to-face future, slide the toggle

• After the feature has been enabled by both parties, the app will likely display a confirmation message 

• Confirm

• At the top of the chat screen, tap the video call button to begin your call

Remember: These steps can vary depending on the app, site, service, etc. Make sure that the device you're using has a camera and the lens is not blocked.

Before You "Chat"

Remember, when you’re video chatting, you're doing more than just talking. You're going to be able to actually see each other, so you should look the part. Here are some things to keep in mind:

• Choose the perfect location. Consider lighting, your background, possible distractions, etc.

• Carefully go over the person's profile before you start chatting with them. You might even make some notes to refer to during your chat.

• Look your best. You don't have to go over the top, by any means, but comb your hair, brush your teeth, put on a little makeup (if that's something you do), wear a nice shirt or blouse, etc.

• Have something handy to drink in case you get dry during the conversation. 

• Look in the mirror to figure out what your best angle is and then face the camera/computer/phone in that manner.

Extra Pointers

During your video chat, keep the following in mind:

• Pay attention to your body language (take a hint from the body language of your match)

• Stay positive

• Don't eat or chew gum

• Wear headphones

• Don't fidget

• Don't stare at yourself

• Awkward silences aren't always a bad thing – don't get nervous

• Try to end on a high note
