Sister’s wives‘ Mary Brown She understood that living in polygamy meant sharing her husband with other women – but she wasn’t prepared for the emotional damage all the new additions would bring.
“I knew I was going to have it [an] feelings about when someone finally joins the family. Me and 54 remembered,, I remembered, and, “remembered Meri, 52, and said:
He continued, “I remember being very jealous. You know, people ask all the time, ‘were you not jealous?’ Yes, yes, I was there. How can you be jealous? “
Meri was there Kody blownfirst wife, he legally married her in 1990. After three years, they expanded their family by adoption Janelle Brownwho Wed spiritually Ody, 56, in 1993. Christine Brown joined the polygamist Brood in 1994, too Robyn Brown removed the family in 2010.
With every new wife came many feelings for Meri, who admitted, “I thought I was living a wrong polygamy.”
He remembered thinking that out of jealousy, ‘he was a human being [doing it] which is wrong. “
“I thought I was a bad woman, a bad woman. I couldn’t even have a baby, for heaven’s sake, you know?” Mary said. “So everything about me was wrong. It was hard.”
Throughout her marriage with Ody, Meri weathered many storms, including having one child, Leon, in July 1995.
After Meri officially divorced Kody in 2014 so he could marry Robyn, 47, and welcome his three children from another marriage, their relationship took a hit. Meri and Kody overcame the scandal of Meri’s Catfishing in 2015, but the family of the two began to reveal a few years later.
Christine said: “Polygamy includes marriage because you don’t have to waste time when it takes time to make your relationship better,” Christine said during Sunday’s episode.
Christine, 53, announced her split from Lody in November 2021, and Janelle confirmed their split in December 2022. Meri and Kody released a joint statement in January 2023, revealing that the two had separated.
Looking back at the polygamist lifestyle and values, both Meri and Christine revealed on Sunday’s episode that religion allegedly promotes unhappiness in the hope of a better life.
“It’s an interesting idea in the culture of the church we come from, that suffering would make you better,” Meri told the cameras. “Because if you have a problem, then you do it.”
However, that line of thinking does not sit well with Meri. “I don’t think we need to endure pain and problems and challenges,” she said. “I think what we need to do is to get past them.”
Christine had a similar view on church rituals after marriage David Wooley October 2023 and chose to live monogamy.
After David, 61, told Christine that in his opinion on the platform, “a lot of hatred, a lot of jealousy, it was very controlling, it ensured that jealousy and competition between women happened.
Christine explained: “If I have a bad time with Koody in a bad situation, I don’t want to see him having sex with other women in front of me,” Christine explained, calling it a “slap in the face.”
While Christine said she never felt like Koody was “in control” she told David that the church preached that being able to deal with this man’s ego and better timing “made” people better.
During a recent episode of Sister Wives, Meri Brown opened up about feeling like the third wheel while hanging out with Kody Brown and Robyn Brown. During the episode, which aired on Sunday, September 10, and aired in December 2022, Meri, 52, celebrated Christmas Eve with Kody, 54, and Robyn, 44. “It’s probably very possible […]
“They teach you that it makes you better. You feel those feelings, you learn to deal with those feelings, and then you move on and become a better person,” he recalls.
David argued, “No, they told you to stop those feelings,” Christine agreed.
“A popular saying is, ‘We endure to the end,'” says Christine. “Basically go on and have a sad life because when you die, you get the kingdom of heaven, you get all the way and you stay with God if you stay sad. That is endurance. That is endurance. That is endurance. That endures there. That endures that. That is endurance. That endures there. That is endurance. That endures there. That’s sad.”
Christine noted that, she just wanted to ‘enjoy the end,’ instead of suffering.
