Identical Twins to Marry Same Man

Anna and Lucy DeCinque, from Perth, Australia, both plan to tie the knot with boyfriend Ben Byrne having met him on Facebook five years ago.

The 30-year-old sisters say they plan to travel to Tucson, Ariz., to say their three-way vows.

Arizona's constitution bans polygamy but lists no punishment - meaning many travel for wedding services, which are described as 'spiritual' rather than legal unions.

Announcing their intentions on YouTube, the pair said: "We’ve been with him for five years so he’s twinning and winning … We do want to marry the same man and his name is Ben.

"And now we've been thinking, how is that going to work? Many debate is it possible? Can it really work? I don't really know.

"We've actually heard in Tucson [America] you can get married."

The twins baffled ITV's This Morning hosts Philip Schofield and Holly Willoughby as they bluntly admitted they sleep with him at the same time earlier this year.

They said: "He's a lucky guy, He needs double the energy, he gets double the love and double the attention."

"We're not hurting anyone and it makes us happy.

"We're always going to be together. Because we're with each other 24/7 of our lives it's so much easier to share a boyfriend."

The two - born just a minute apart - have reportedly spent $221,000 on cosmetic surgery to make sure they look as similar as possible.

 

The list of surgery they have had includes breast implants, lip fillers, fake eyebrows and eyelashes to make sure they look exactly the same.

I can't see how any marriage other than a monogamous one would work out.

Whith the divorce rate as high as it is, maybe monogamy isn't all that's cracked up to be. Don't get me wron, everyone wants that fairy tale life long romance but those are usually the exceptions.

Well have you ever had exposure to one?

No. The comment is just somewhat based on what I know of women based on my interactions and discussions with them. My beliefs play a bit of a role in it as well.

As of 2014:

 

In the US, divorce rate is at 53%. So 47% staying together isn't necessarily rare.

 

In China, where roughly over 1/7 of the entire world's population lives, divorce rate is between 20-29%. So, certainly not the exception there.

 

In Brazil (population 200M+), divorce rate is between 20-29%.

 

Very interesting is that, with a relatively low population of 18M, Chile has the lowest recorded divorce rate, at 3%.

OK so maybe it's just the US then. But at 53%, what's the use of getting married.

Because 47% don't end up in divorce. 6% difference.

 

Wife and I have been married for 13 years and every year is better than the last. Majority of people in the world do so because:

 

1. They don't go in expecting to get divorced.

2. They like the idea of not being alone for the rest of their lives.

3. Having a family in a nuclear household is, for the majority of the word, a more attractive option than trying to do it alone.

You don't have to be married for #2 & #3.

Eh. Polygamist marriages have existed for much longer than you or I. It's been a while since I've read the Koran, but iirc it actually endorses them in some capacity, and there are stories in the Bible as well where multiple women share the same husband. That your social/cultural upbringing considers it foreign isn't that great of a basis on which to suppose it won't 'work,' whatever that means when we're speaking of life or spiritual unions imo. The practice is ancient; it predates Canada by millennia.

 

I think you're conflating our broad cultural and societal expectations for relationships (or your own thoughts on what relationships should look like) too much with actual human psyche. Yes, these things are looked down upon here--and yes, it would take a specific kind of person to do well in such a relationship--but if they've been in it for five years already, maybe they have something good going on?

 

Certainly it's unusual for where it happened (and for other details in the article--lol @ 200k on plastic surgery), but such unions have 'worked' before and will again. I don't think your particular interactions with women can't be so easily universalized to discredit--or write off as impractical--all unions of this kind. If they're happy they're happy.
