REAL LIFE
SUPERSIZED FAMILY
The Yahweh family live together in marital bliss – and all five wives are not only in love with their husband, but with each other…
When Jazmin Yahweh first met her husband 10 years ago, she already knew that he had another wife. But far from putting her off, she embraced the non-monogamous lifestyle – and even introduced another woman into the relationship.
FAMILY
Over the next three years, two more women came to live with them. And far from their family being complete, they’re open to more wives joining, though they don’t want another man.
Jazmin, 33, who has five children, two from a previous relationship, explains, “I’ve never been into conventional relationships and had flirted with polyamory before, so this suits me perfectly. It works on every level. We are all in love with each other, all the wives have sexual relationships and friendships as well as our relationships with our husband.

The family use the name Yahweh to signify their commitment to each other as they can’t legally marry.

The children range in age from 20 to one and they all live together and share finances.

He was always very honest and told me he had a life partner but that they were looking to add to their arrangement. He also told me that they wanted more than just one other equal partner – which I was happy about.
“We went on a few dates before he introduced me to Debash. I was so nervous when I met her as I really wanted her to be comfortable with me joining them. Thankfully, we hit it off immediately and within months we were all living together. I don’t have a jealous bone in my body and I feel that the more people you love and are loved by, the better your life will be. With monogamy I always felt as though something was missing, this way I have a big family, which I’ve always wanted.
“I introduced Paige into the arrangement a year later. I knew her through mutual friends as we were brought up in the same place.”
Over the next four years the other women, who Yahweh met online, joined. Jazmin explains, “We all make
