You hit the nail on the head when you noticed that your views are due to the way you were raised. It does take some time, but if you take an objective view and rationally look at the situation, a poly family is most likely how the human race survived thousands of years ago. Pooling resources and sharing a loving bond with many in an intimate setting is the ultimate fulfillment in many people's opinion. Those who cling to their religious upbringing tend to disagree, but they are only blindly following their upbringing without a pros and cons list (Now, I can't say this applies to all of them, and I can't speak for them...but I would bet on it) . Best of luck in your journey. Remember, question everything (even my advice) and set your own moral compass - don't let others set your moral compass for you. Actually, I'm going to disagree. Even, situations where religion demands polygamy it rarely works well. Sniping and back biting within Brigham Young's wives has been well documented. In my opinion it's more about the psyche of the people involved and how they approach it. Situations where communication, decisions and actions are not fully disclosed lead to jealousy and thoughts of conspiracy. In order for a poly situation to work everyone within it needs to feel secure in their position. And bottom line, poly works for some people and for others it will never work.
