A 60-year-old Ohio Pastor Marries 19-Year-Old Girlfriend With 'Full Permission' From 44-year-old First Wife

Are some marriages really made in heaven? An Ohio Pastor does seem to say so after he married for the second time.

The 60-year-old pastor from Ohio, Thom Miller, has got wedded to a 19-year-old pregnant girlfriend. Amazingly, his first 44-year-old wife has given her "full permission and support".

Miller is a former mafia enforcer and says that he "found God in prison." He is now building a house in Mansfield, Ohio, with one wing each for his two wives. All three live in a small house in which each wife gets three nights before the other one does.

The wives, Belinda, 44, and Reba, 19, have agreed that they are "fine" about polygamy. However, Thom is firm that "he is the only one in the relationship allowed to have more than one partner," according to the Daily Mail U.K.

Thom knew Reba and her family quite some time ago. He and Belinda got close to her when all three volunteered at a soup kitchen.

The two of them married at his church, where he had had his first wedding seven years ago. The three plan to bring up his and Reba's child together. "I don't preach about polygamy, but I feel it is a very Christian lifestyle," Thom told Barcroft TV.

"I have no problem with homosexuals but I think it's wrong that their marriage is now recognised by the state, but my second marriage is not. I'm going to try and fight the bigotry of that," he said, according to the Sydney Morning Herald. "This is America and my wives and I have the right to live any way we please, providing we're not hurting anybody."
