"Now I realized you can be satisfied with one woman" Posted by Stancy , Monday, January 25, 2010 at 4:22 AM, in

THAILAND!

Did you know that Kings in Thailand marry more than one woman so they could have many children. Through this children who are educated in the palace grounds loyalty of the people of Thailand will be maintained in the kingdom. The more children the bigger the possibility that the Kingdom will be preserved.

This is one of the things you have to address in a culture; polygamy. Many asian countries allow men to practice polygamy.

As a woman, I wouldn't want to have a husband who has different wives other than me. Of course, who among us would want that. It would make our self-esteem lower and lower. We all want the man that we marry to be satisfied with one woman (ourselves).

Anna and the King is a very good movie that shows how polygamy affected the lives of the women being trapped in this situation. Tuptim, a woman who was taken away from her love to be married to the king has suffered being in that situation. She could have had a happy family together with the person she loves but then she was forcibly brought to the king as a new wife. She was even tortured to death for escaping from the palace.

On the other hand, Anna, who was the teacher of the king's children fell in love with the king. The king fell in love with her the same way because she had a very good heart for the children and others. The problem is that Anna is a Christian. According to the Bible God has purposed one man for one woman only. Anna believes that marriage is very sacred and should only be between one man and one woman.

With all the romanticism and sweetness of the compliments of the king Anna decided not to continue a romantic relationship with the king and go to England with her son instead. She stood by the principles of God and did not base her decisions by her feelings. It could be hard and hurtful but she did the right thing.

Then and there that the king realized that he could be satisfied even with one woman.

"Now I realized that I can be satisfied with one woman"

Our life is the best exemplary to bring the message of righteousness and satisfaction towards following God's command.

Live a life that would inspire others and make them want to leave pagan practices behind. Be the change you want to see.
