Kimball declares you can't share your heart

I think SWK didn't believe in polygamy.
What do you think? Speaking as a man?
"When the Lord says all they heart, it allows for no sharing nor dividing nor depriving. [...]
The words none else eliminate everyone and everything. The spouse then becomes preeminent in the life of the husband or wife, and neither social life nor occupational life nor political life nor any other interest nor person nor thing shall ever take precedence over the companion spouse. [...]
Marriage presupposes total allegiance and total fidelity. Each spouse takes the partner with the understanding that he or she gives totally to the spouse all the heart, strength, loyalty, honor, and affection, with all dignity. Any divergence is sin; any sharing of the heart is transgression. As we should have 'an eye single to the glory of God,' so should we have an eye, an ear, a heart single to the marriage and the spouse and family." (Faith Precedes the Miracle [1972], 142-43)
