Originally marriage was to be between one man and one woman(Genesis 2:22). God 'allowed' certain variations under the Mosaic Law for a time, as a 'concession'(Matthew 19:8)though much friction arose over polygamy(Genesis 16:1-4)(Genesis 29:18-30:24) and God specifically warned against it as time went on(Deuteronomy 17:15, 17).
Once the Christian congregation was formed, however, God's direction was reaffirmed, ONE wife per husband(1Corinthians 7:2; 1Timothy 3:2)(Ephesians 5:33)(Matthew 19:4-6) .
