I wish to reserve my right to have 2, 3, and yes up to 4 wives to dote over me in my old age....God does, according to the bible anyway (SIDE NOTE: although frowned on in christian circles much in the bible appears to be frowned on in christian circles...

Actually the nominal Christian world (with or without bothering the scriptures) still gets to have their 2, 3, or 4 spouses if they wish, but merely serially instead of simultaneously. And that may be a tactical advantage of sorts, since a christian can hope to "trade up " when needed. (Or do muslims do the same thing, conceivably 2-4 wives at a time?) Either way, I can imagine a strategic advantage to redundancy of wives, at least if living in a tribe-raiding, goat-herding economy.
