Really - I would take a different position - Gen 2:24  “A man  leaves his 
father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one  flesh” And 
Jesus himself approves of this definition
 
Actually  if you read the OT polygamy happens but no where is it spoken of 
approvingly.  Take the Leah Rachel hate relationship, or Sarah Hagar to name 
a couple.
 
It happened but wasn't condones.
 
The NT certainly is one man-one wife (take the requirement for  the  office 
of a Bishop in Timothy)- and Jesus himself quotes Gen 2:24 with approval 
 
Polygamy happened the patriarchs and kings - and look at Solomon's  
condemnation for his 300 wives and 700 concubines (he must have had a terrific  
memory just to recall their names!) 
 
But it was never approved of in the OT.
 
Blessings

Rather than  asking for a citation here, I'd remind you that the
Biblical model of  God-approved marriage is ... polygamy.
