Sharing a husband is not a good thing among several women. However, if you live at the Kenyan Coast, you are likely to love a man who believes in polygamy. This has been made possible by the dominance of the Islamic religion that allows polygamy. In case you find yourself sharing love, here are tips on how to live happily with your co-wife.
1. Division of love
The main reasons many women hate polygamy is the belief that love can be divided and shared. This makes them think that the fixed portion of love will now have to be shared equally with the other woman hence she will be loved less. This might be true but you should assume that your husband will love you differently from the way he loves his other wife. Make it feel like how a mother loves several children without worrying about the divisibility of love.
2. Rivalry
The time you start viewing your co-wife as a rival is the moment you will start hating her. You should focus on the positives that made him marry you. Perfect them and work on the relationship between you and your husband. Let her deal with her issues and stop being threatened.
3. Time management
You should know that the time you used to spend with your husband if you are the first wife, will reduce. It is upon you to make sure that you utilize the little time you have. Moreover, if he is spending more time with you, advise him to balance to avoid unnecessary conflicts.
