ANNOTATION
ONE MAN ONE WIFE IS THE FORMATION AND IT TEACHES US CONTENTMENT IN ALL THINGS. GOD HAS BEEN THE GOD OF ORDERLINESS AND WANTS US TO BE ORDERLY AND CONTENTED WITH WHAT HAS GIVEN US.
WE ARE NOT ANIMALS THAT HAVE NO RULE IN THEIR MARRIAGE WITH EACH OTHER. AS THE ORDEAL OF POLYGAMY CAN NOT BE COMPARED WITH MONOGAMY, HE MADE THEM ONE MAN AND ONE WOMAN IN THE BEGINNING AND THAT IS THE FORMATION OF GODS OWN INSTITUTION OF MARRIAGE.
