Actually maybe not, lack of getting laid I always thought was there problem to begin with that made them into ridiculous religious nutjobs.
True enough. One argument advanced against polygamy is when Europe abandoned it, rulers found it much harder to raise armies, resulting in less wars than would otherwise be the case. Certainly there is a big worry about the 30 - 100 million Chinese boys growing up who won't be able to find a wife (cause of preference for boys in a one child policy). They are expected to cause all kinds of problems, from crime to wars.
I guess wives just keep the guys from getting in trouble because they're worn out with the battles on the home front.
