Idaho Evangelical Christian polygamists use Internet to meet potential spouses

She goes to church twice a week and started looking for a sister-wife three years ago. When she began telling members of her non-denominational church in Louisiana about her search, some members started calling her wicked and immoral. Her family told her she was crazy and her neighbors thought she was odd. "So, I turned to the Internet, it was the only place I could be honest and not be laughed at," she said.

Although she and her husband have found solace in cyberspace, Margie says, they haven't found a sister-wife. "I want someone who will be my best friend and will give me a baby girl," Margie says, ticking off the criteria that make the search for a soulmate difficult. "We're not into homosexual threesomes; we don't drink, or smoke or gamble," she said. "We're looking for marriage; we're not dating and don't believe in pre-marital sex."

The Morrisons have also experienced the highs and lows of Internet dating. "We met one woman who was 97 years old," Albert said with a chuckle. "But she acted like she was 20!" Last year, they met a more appropriately aged woman from Alabama who might have married them, but neither they nor she could relocate.

"We're just going to keep praying and keep searching the Internet," Albert said. "God will find someone for us when he wills."
