On the one hand, I have no problem with consenting adults choosing to organize their lives as best they see fit. If that’s a poly relationship, fine. However, considering the legal benefits and responsibilities that come from civil marriage, there’s a legitimate reason to limit marriage to two people. And for some reason, I don’t suspect that this is going to turn into a national debate the way that gay marriage did in the last couple of decades.

Also, having watched a few episodes of Sister Wives, I just want to say that the show really did not show that polygamous relationships were “healthy”. But again, eye of the beholder, I suppose.

This. Marriage laws are based on everyone having one spouse; same-sex marriage didn’t affect those in the slightest. OTOH, poly-marriages would require throwing them all out and starting from scratch.
