Jealousy in Polygamy Pt. 2

Practical Living Arrangements in Polygyny

Welcome back! In Part 1, we talked about managing jealousy in a polygynous marriage. Today, I want to address another common question: How do living arrangements work in polygyny? Specifically, should everyone live in the same house or have separate homes? Let’s dive into what works for our family and why.

In our situation, we’ve found that having separate homes works best. My co-wife and I live in different houses, but thankfully, they’re only a 5-minute walk away. This arrangement allows us to maintain harmony and respect each other’s space. Having two queens in the same house can be challenging, especially with children and the dynamics of everyday life.


Separate living arrangements offer several benefits. It allows each wife to have her own space and autonomy. This independence is crucial for personal growth and maintaining a healthy relationship. It also helps in managing any potential conflicts that might arise from sharing a living space.


Of course, if the house were large enough, say 15,000 to 20,000 square feet with different wings, that might be a different story.

In such a scenario, having separate wings could provide the necessary privacy and space. However, for most families, separate homes are a more practical solution.


Having separate homes also makes it easier to navigate everyday life. For instance, I find it challenging enough to manage my grown daughters in my kitchen and bathroom, let alone another adult woman.

Separate homes reduce the potential for everyday conflicts and make it easier to maintain a peaceful household.


Living arrangements in polygyny are a personal choice and can vary from family to family.

For us, separate homes work best, providing the necessary space and independence to maintain harmony. It’s important to find what works best for your family and to prioritize respect and understanding.
