?!Polygamy is the way to reach the highest levels of Paradise
It would not have been a "documentary" had it not been for the voice of its narrator, who used to wake me up from one moment to the next to say: It is a reality that extremist Mormons live in in the desert of the American state of "Utah"! Joseph Smith in 1820 in the United States.
Three Wives One Husband (2017) Documentary , Now Showing in Four Episodes on Netflix, tells the story of the community of Rockland Ranch, 14 families who reside in the Utah desert so as not to be judged by society for their belief in polygamy and the application of their men So. The first person who “God inspired” him to move there to get rid of the prying eyes was the late Bob Foster, founder of the Rockland Ranch community that is home to more than 100 people today.
?Who do you admit that polygamy improves life
Bob Foster, and die-hard Mormons, believe that polygamy is a way to reach the highest levels of paradise, and this is also believed by "Enoch Foster", one of Bob's 28 children, who took over building the Utah desert homes after his father's departure.
?Why not get married if he is a giver of his love
At the beginning of the documentary series, Enoch had two wives and 16 children, before we witnessed the birth of his 17th child from his second wife, Lillian, and it was remarkable that she invited her future third “wife”, Lydia Rose, 25 years old, to attend her birth. , to feel like a "family member" before officially joining, as she is still "thinking".

Enoch's first wife, Katrina, his childhood sweetheart, made me wonder a lot: What was going on in her head? How do you think? She was the one who suggested to Enoch, after 8 years of their marriage, that Lillian join the family, since Enoch was “a giver of his love.” She wanted to make another girl have the opportunity to live her experience… And the worst of this, what she said to Enoch one day: “I feel that Lillian A part of me.. a part of you.. a part of us,” according to Enoch, and here we may stop for a moment to think a little about the Arab wife, who has no ceiling for what she can do if she learns of her husband’s love for another, what about his marriage to her? Of course, the minority remains of those who accept polygamy as “permissible in Islam”… Why not? And here opens an endless discussion!
The second wife, Lillian, says she would rather have a "part of a good man" than another who is "complete" but not as good. Now she and Katerina take turns to bear "many" children for life, as they believe it is a "sacred duty".
While the third "future" wife, Lydia, who was unanimously chosen by the family, admits that she never wanted to be the first wife because she would not be able to reveal the husband's truth before one door closed on them.
And about Enoch specifically, who is confident in his ability to love the three of them together, Lydia says that she has become aware of what kind of father he will be, and what kind of husband, which means that it is “ideal”, but she wants to feel that she is “in love” before making a decision .
!Polygamy makes marriage renewed
In the house next door to the family of Enoch Foster in the Utah desert, lives the family of "Abel Morrison", a mailman who is married to three women and has 11 children.
A year after his first marriage, his wife, Susie, who is training to become a nurse, suggested that he approach a girl named Beth to "expand the family," and she works in an American bank. Indeed, Abel and Beth married, and lived together for about 10 years before Marina joined the family.
"Susie" says that polygamy makes married life "fresh", i.e. renewable, allowing her to miss "Abel", at least. But Susie's over-the-top self-compassion made me lose my curiosity about these characters and their strangely "forgiving" world. Who nominates a girl for her husband? And who would admit that polygamy improves life? And who does she refer to as her “friend” to help her with advice or take care of her children until she returns from her journey? It felt like a "stage" story...until Marina spoke up!
Three Wives One Husband tells the story of the community of Rockland Ranch, consisting of 14 families who reside in the Utah desert so as not to be judged by society for their belief in polygamy and the practice of their men.

?Its origins are Arab
“It was hell… it was a disastrous year… a battle for all of us!” Marina reacted when asked about her first year of marriage to Abel… perhaps her most realistic response…
While we see Susie's blind confidence in Abel's love for her, and Beth's kindness in dealing with others, we see a frowning Marina in several scenes, accompanying Abel whenever he comes to kiss her and make her feel his love for her, that equal love between the three, but she did not Convinced of the sincerity of his feelings, she wonders: How can a man love me after three years of marriage as much as he loves Beth after 12 and Susie after 13?
And while "Susie" and "Beth" were satisfied with the bouquet that Abel gave to each of them on Valentine's Day, "Valentine", "Marina" said that she did not want that, because he simply presented the same thing to two other women, stressing, "It is difficult to accept that you She's not the only one."
And "Marina", who is pregnant with Abel's 12 child, revealed that she had "made many mistakes" previously, especially with "Beth", as she used to call "Abel" whenever he was with any of his wives, to spoil their evening, admitting that she was creating a problem with him who did not something!
These feelings moved to "Beth", which became "Marina" sharing the same feelings: jealousy and hatred, which we did not see for a moment in the Enoch Foster family... And here the documentary became more suspenseful, as it became "close to reality"!
Beth didn't want to talk to Marina to understand the reason for the mistreatment she was receiving from her, telling Susie, "How do I talk to a pregnant woman?", because the "hormonal mess" might control her... On the day she was born, she didn't intend to "blessing" her, but she had to.
Marina's behavior changed, to some extent, after giving birth, as she says that she "understood" how a person can love a group of equal people, which is what she felt when her love was divided into two children.
The thunderbolt that had a greater impact on Marina, Beth, and Susie was the day of the death of Abel's brother, Jim, who asked him to marry his two widows after his death, so that the family would remain together, although the United States considers the second and third marriages illegal.
It was then that Marina accepted her reality with Susie and Beth... It was funny how we don't accept who we were until something worse comes along.
