Sister Wives star Kody Brown may have multiple wives, but that definitely doesn’t mean he’s in love with all of them. But now, fans are actually curious whether or not he’s genuinely in love with any of them.
These days, having plural wives seems to be more about the religion than love in the Brown household. On a Reddit thread, many Sister Wives fans started debating whether or not there could be romantic love in polygamist families.
Some Sister Wives fans believe that Kody Brown just uses his wives for help around the house
The Reddit thread is titled, “Do polygamists not marry for love?” and brings up some very important points.
“Kody said he never loved Meri, was not in love with Christine when they got married, and is not in love with Janelle & never really had a romantic relationship with her. Robyn is the only wife he’s ever been in love with and he no longer advocates polygamy,” the original poster says.
“So do most polygamists just ‘hire’ (marry) sister wives to perform specific duties within the family and that’s all they are brought in for? Is a successful, functional polygamist family meant to be structured more like a business than an actual family where love isn’t really in the equation?”
Many of the comments seem to echo the OP’s thoughts, but others brought up interesting points as well.
“I think there is some history rewriting on Kody’s part, especially about Meri,” said someone else. Keep in mind that Meri was his first wife, so there likely was some level of romantic relationship there. Even if Kody says otherwise.
“Agreed – I am reading the book right now and he said that he was taken with Meri and couldn’t get her off his mind, etc.,” someone else chimed in. “It feels like once he met Robyn, he decided he never really had a good relationship with the other wives…”
Do you agree with their points? Let us know what you think in the comments.
What comes next for the family?
We already know that Christine left the family. Will any of Kody Brown’s other wives follow suit?
We don’t know much right now, but there are always circling rumors online. Meanwhile, Meri Brown is happily engaging in some much-needed self-care routines. She even sent herself flowers on Valentine’s Day.
At the end of the day, only Kody Brown knows if there’s any real love in his polygamist family. Be sure to keep following us online for the latest Sister Wives news. We’ll keep you filled in as soon as we have more information on the family.
