The reason is that the Lord is the only source of truly conjugial love, and this cannot be given by the Lord except to those who know Him, acknowledge Him, believe in Him, and live as He tells us. Those who are incapable of being given that love are unaware that sexual and conjugial love are not the same, and so too polygamy. In addition, polygamists, knowing nothing of the Lord, remain natural; for it is only the Lord who makes people spiritual, and it is not counted a sin for the natural man to do what the laws of his religion and community permit. He acts as his reason dictates, and the natural man's reason is in deep darkness where conjugial love is concerned, this being above all a spiritual love. Still their reason is taught by experience that it is in the interests of public and private peace for promiscuous lust to be generally restrained, and left for each to practise within his own household. Hence polygamy.
