    from the wife's submission, the husband takes care of her and the childrem. All that I would plead is she should stay. This is painful. The man should have made this known at least.

    Kwame, who should counsel her? Being a counsellor herself, she knows everything already that another counsellor is going to tell her. Please suggest something more practical.

    Sarskoberta, Yes as you said, opinion differs; and that is the more reason why no one has the right to call what others believe in, as stupid and foolish. The Lord forgive you, for you do not know what you're saying.

    Restricting marriage to only one wife is very very difficult and should not be enforced. Some situations make it necessary that a man should marry more than one wife and so far as he can cater for them all i think it's okay.
