Why To Join Our Family
Part 1
Since you clicked this link, you are probably asking yourself what the benefits might be for you if you join our family. What can be attractive about a radically Christian, plural marriage family life?
First of all, our husband will provide for you as he provides for all the members of the family (1 Ti 5:8), so that it might be well with his house (Deu 5:29). I am not talking about livelihood here, but about spiritual guidance and leadership (Jos 24:25), about life long responsibility and protection, about a commitment to God and to each other before God. Our husband will see to it that you are safe and secure, and you will follow God's word and our husband's lead - you will give yourself into the hands of our husband to love you and care for you all your life, and to protect you from the wicked outside world as well as from temptation to the best of his ability, and you will follow God's commandments to show that you love God and your husband, just as all the other members do. You will join a group of adults that is determined to stand fast to the end (Mat 24:40), and cling to God's word (Deu 30:19-20) as Scripture , both Testaments, conveys it to us. You will join a group of adults that enjoys studying the bible and discussing it with an open mind and a heart that listens to God and not to men (Pro 3:5). You will join a group of adults that applies God's word to every aspect of life, thereby being freed from worldly concerns (Mat 6:33).
Moreover, you will join a family that strives to be as big as it possibly can, with as many children as we can possibly have. We love children and trust that children are a blessing from God (Psa 127:3-5), and we do not acknowledge anyone else to have the right to educate our children but the family itself, neither school nor church, neither popular culture nor television. Consequently, the children are all home schooled, and if you are inclined to do so, you are welcome to teach them too. You will also join a family that strives to be multi-generational. This means that parents of wives or the husband who are alone are welcome to join the family as a vital part of the whole. At the same time, this means that nobody will leave the family at an old age, be put into a nursing home or be left to fend for his or her own. Our commitment stands for as long as we live, and the big family takes care of its young members just as it takes care of its old members. Everybody has his and her place in the big family, and everybody is a respected, valued, needed and loved part of the whole. Furthermore, children will be encouraged to stay when they are grown up, and build their own family on the same premises, and the firstborn son will take over his father's house and responsibilities, as in Abraham's times (Gen 11-25).
