A Ghanaian man, Michael Houston, who recently married his two girlfriends same day has defended his action.
In a Facebook post on Wednesday, December 20, 2023, Michael questioned those criticizing him for making a personal choice, asking if they want him to marry one girlfriend and break up with the other.
He also pointed out that King Solomon in the Bible married 700 wives and had 300 concubines.
“For the sake of my followers out there i will do a little explanation, I got married to these two beautiful women Adepa Fel Houston and Deejah Houston, and the country went berserk because people couldn’t understand how i made that happen, with many ridiculing the whole show,” he wrote.
Well what y’all didn’t know was, i had two different engagements seperately at each respective family house, all customary rights for marriage was done to the very last note. We had mini ceremonies with religious leaders blessing the unions.
Then I decided to have a grand one which i made public to announce to the world that my home is now blessed with two queens.
Little did i know i will be labeled as a man who didn’t respect women. How do i spend a fortune to disrespect a woman by marrying them?? So society wanted us to keep dating and when pregancy comes, we abort to avoid being stigmatized as born 1’s with no marriage?? Or society wanted me to choose one and break the other ones heart when these two beautiful women have supported me throughout.
There was this one time, my business hit rock bottom with the biggest recession i had ever seen, i almost sold some of my properties but these two came together, gathered their savings and borrowed some from other people to help me push my business back to the top. No way in hell will i be able to live with my self if i had to choose one.
At the end of the day we made a choice to live as a family under the blessings of our family and the instructions of God.
Yeah you can label it as polygamy and what not, but where in the bible did God frown upon it? There are religions that don’t marry or have sexual activity and they don’t ridicule those that get married right?
Abraham, the man God said HE will curse if you curse him and bless if you bless him, married his half sister right?? The one man who God gave wisdom and considered the wisest man ever lived, married 700 wives and had 300 concubines right. Moses who brought us the 10 commandments had two wives right?
Jesus never even married right so technically as Christian and followers of christ we should have been obligated not to get married right. I can go on and on with these theories but i know it won’t convince certain people who are hell-bent on disagreeing to it to protect either their beliefs or a certain way of life they deem normal.
I lost many friends due to this marriage and made even more friends after, i am way more than capable of maintaining and making my wives happy and i seek no validation from anyone. Its my choice and their choice. if you are capable and want to make such a choice too, then shoot at it. If not then do what your strength can. I am done explaining, God bless you all and a merry Christmas.

My brother leave those Ghanaians who like complaining, They should go fork themselves. Did you force the two women. If they both wanted it, then the person who is sort of 'abused' is you and not them. So you are doing so much good to the women and even saving other people;s marriage. Let the Ghanaians go fork themselves. They are just jealous
My brother God bless you and your good intentions I believe in you , you have made a good choice. Our wife’s I bless you tooo for the unconditional support and happiness you have brought to the world. The rest of our ladies out there learn from these wonderful women and grow. Bless you all
I prefer to present my two or more wives to the world and face their disapproval to deceiving my church members and pastor that I will stick to one woman for better for worse whilst I hide behind her to ***barred word*** other women. Do they really think when they make those vows they are just mere empty words? No one ever gets punished on Earth for deceiving the congregation and lying before the pulpit or altar about keeping marital vows. The case of a bank executive who doubled as a pastor/elder in his church and her side-chick is still fresh in our minds and speaks volumes to the hypocrisy in the so-called one-wife shiitt. This was an accomplished professional who promised his jobless side-chick that he would divorce his accomplish wife to marry a jobless side-chick. And let me remind you he was or still is a pastor in his church. It is corruption that is destroying Ghana, not polygamy. Ghanafuo ye gyimi dudu! We are consumed with conforming to baseless and meaningless societal norms which we don't even understand!
It's important to note that the issue of one-wife is a Western concep. One wife is done in the west due to tax and financial reasons. Our culture does not limit us to one wife. Majority of our forebears married more than one. Is this news? If you wish to copy the western ways of doing things, thats great but don't bring them to Africa.
My brother, God is well pleased with you than the hypocrites criticizing you. Just treat your wives with love and respect and that is what is right in the sight of God. Some of them who are married to the so-called one wife have several side-chicks who they hide from their wife and they do all kinds of evil things. There is no condemnation of marrying more than one wife either in the Old or New testament. The issue of one-wife is a Western concept which like all the things, we blindly copied from without understanding them. Even the MPs who make the laws most of them have side-chicks and some have fathered children outside their marriages and till date Yvonne Nelson still does not know who her father is! Kennedy Agyepong how many wives and side-chicks does he have? Even one of his former side-chicks is also an MP. Instead of Ghanaians focusing on the corruption sinking this country they choose to waste their time criticizing who someone loves and how many the person should love. My brother God bless and keep you and you wives and may you enjoy peace,love and prosperity.
