So I've got to thinking after reading some comments recently about polygamy...  what do Christians believe is truly the desire of God for our lives regarding marriage and polygamy.  Does He approve of it?  Does He encourage it?  Does He forbid it?  Does He discourage it? 

And what are some personal beliefs on this?

I AM NOT TRYING TO START A WAR... I'm just interested in what others have discerned and studied on this matter.  And also whatever scriptures you've used to stand on your positions

What do you think of this?
The first thing God deemed "not good" was for man to be alone.
God never intented for so many people not to marry. 

In 1900 only 3% of people of the age of 34 were single.  In 2000, just 100 years later it jumped to 27%.  Today 52% of women are not married. There are 5 groups of women - Never marrieds, widowed, divorced, those shacking up and lesbians.
God never intended for this to be the case.

God's first command is in Genisis 1:28 - Be fruitful and multiply, fill the earth, rule and subue it.  So why are so many disobeying this command? 

I know most men's first reaction is to quote 1 Corinthians 7 "it is good for a man not to marry."  (really means not to touch a woman).  #1 this is NOT a command it's just Paul's advise and #2 it's advise for certain circumstances.  If you look in verse 26 it says "I think then that this is good in view of the PRESENT DISTRESS, that it is good for a man to remain as he is." 
What were the PRESENT DISTRESSES Paul was talking about? -- Famine and extreme persecussion of Christians. 
So men, are you experience famine or expreme persecussion?  or are you a eunich?  In Matthew they are the other group of people exempt from marriage. 

God intended for almost everyone to be married.  It is to be a very rare circumstance that one remain single. 
Remaining single (not talking about widow or divorced here) stunts our maturity, and breeds selfishness.   Marriage takes your spiritual walk to a new plane and children to a higher plane yet.
Personally never having been married I really don't have a clue what true sacrifice entails.  Men need to get with the program, put the remote or joystick down and find themselves wives.

Is it our biblical duty to marry and raise the next generation of Christians.  If we don't who will?
