Some may think this makes life easier, considering that multiple wives means multiple housecleaners and multiple food-preparers and if one gets on your nerves you can go hang out with the other one until the first one behaves properly. But in fact it’s not as easy as it sounds to have a number of women in your life: life ain’t easy for a player, as some might say. So it may come to no surprise that — according to the daily Al-Madinah yesterday — a man lavished his first wife with a grand fête filled with expensive gifts and jewelry when she did not dispute his desire to marry a second woman. Perhaps there is no better way to reward a woman for allowing you to marry another woman than to give her lots of shiny things.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;If it works for her, who are we to say anything?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1481269903589710089-7126449732478365580?l=saudistepfordwife.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://arabnews.com/?page=1&amp;section=0&amp;article=107197&amp;d=26&amp;m=2&amp;y=2008&amp;pix=kingdom.jpg&amp;category=Kingdom' title='First Wife Bribed for Understanding'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saudistepfordwife.blogspot.com/feeds/7126449732478365580/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1481269903589710089&amp;postID=7126449732478365580' title='9 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1481269903589710089/posts/default/7126449732478365580'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1481269903589710089/posts/default/7126449732478365580'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saudistepfordwife.blogspot.com/2008/02/first-wife-bribed-for-understanding.html' title='First Wife Bribed for Understanding'/><author><name>Saudi Stepford Wife-Daisy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09934386285333242262</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='06857208053710938715'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>9</thr:total></entry>
