My young children were digging in the dirt, and I was fortunate enough to overhear this nugget of wisdom spoken by my 4-year-old son:
“It doesn’t matter who has the bigger shovel because we’re working together.”
This is exactly the kind of attitude that can and ought to prevail in a plural family (or any kind family or group working together for a common goal).
Anything more I say will just take away from what the 4-year-old said, so I’ll leave it at that.
It doesn’t matter who has the bigger shovel when you’re all working together.
Charlotte is the owner of the blog "Speaking of Polygamy". She grew up in the mainstream LDS Church, but now the Torah is the foundation of her religion and the rest of the scriptures are a bonus. (It's amazing how much the Book of Mormon and Old Testament support each other.) She's been Joshua's wife since 2002 and Melissa's sisterwife since 2013. Together, they are blessed with many treasured children and live in Kody Brown's old house in Lehi, Utah. They love celebrating the Biblical holy days with like-minded friends (both old and new). Charlotte loves dancing, playing the piano, journaling, studying Biblical Hebrew, and reading to her children.
