Nobody says it's only multiple wives. It could be any combination of wives and husbands, 2&2, 2&3 ; whatever.
I perceive Harems as dealing with sex slaves. I'm only talking about relationships that are entered maturely and with all of societies rules regarding civility. Money issues could be settled up front by passing laws similar to community property but it would be split up more than two ways. Physical, emotional and psychological needs need to be defined and understood by the parties involved just like any other marriage and relationship. I'm just saying, not all poly-relationships involve cults. And quite a few of them exist now between consenting adults. Different needs for different people.
