on polygamy ((or)) when to call it quits in a marriage

For a lifetime, it seems, I’ve been polygamous. I have been married (or not-married, but with a marriage commitment) to a man for the past 15 years, mostly. That’s roughly my entire adult life.

I’ve ALSO been in an on-again-off-again relationship with the Divine (aka God). I find that both the human marriage and the divine marriage are better when surrounded by community. I haven’t had a very difficult time finding community in my life until recently, because I shared common beliefs with others in my circle. I could go to any number of Christian churches and find a whole passel of people who believed exactly (or at least mostly) what I believed, who were also in relationship with this Divine Being.


So...it was like we were all sister-wives in a giant polygamous marriage with God.
