Anyone who’s watched Sister Wives knows there are some complicated dynamics in the plural relationship.

After the Brown family of TLC’s Sister Wives found fame by exposing their taboo lifestyle on television, it opened up a possibility in the minds of Americans that polygamist families can be very modern and happy. Last year year the Darger family came out too, giving television interviews, and publishing a book about their family called Love Times Three.
The Dargers are definitely unique.
Although all Utah criminal bigamy charges have been dropped for the Sister Wives‘ Brown Family, it still is a third-degree felony in the state to just say you have more than one wife (as in, not filing the legal documents, but having “spiritual” marriages like the Browns have.) Because of that, the Browns are fighting back, and have filed a lawsuit against Utah in an attempt to get a “federal judge to overturn the state’s bigamy law as unconstitutional.”
The Brown Family has a reason to relax and celebrate this weekend! Thursday a Utah prosecutor wrote in court filings that criminal charges would not be pursued against Kody Brown and his four wives Meri, Janelle, Christine, and Robyn.

The Brown Family of TLC’s Sister Wives fame have 22 mouths to feed (17 kids, 4 wives, and one dad/husband,) and have had to move from their home in Utah to four separate residences in Las Vegas, Nevada because of a threat that their family may be broken up. First wife Meri lost her job after the show came on the air, Robyn left her job to join the family, and the main breadwinners Jenelle and Kody had to leave their jobs behind when they moved. Their move and living expenses afterwards came mostly from what supposed to be their retirement savings, and many of the kids are nearing college age. How does this huge family support themselves?
Sunday night’s season finale of Sister Wives showed the emotional home birth of Robyn and Kody Brown’s first child together Solomon, the 17th in the polygamous Brown family. (Click here for first photos of baby Solomon)
After the whole family crowded in to meet Solomon (even Hunter, who was reluctant about the situation) Robyn asked to speak to first wife Meri alone. Through streaming tears Robyn asked Meri if she wanted her to be her surrogate, and carry Meri and Kody’s baby.
This Sunday marks the season finale for TLC’s fascinating polygamy themed reality show Sister Wives. In a preview video the always candid first wife Meri Brown reveals some pretty heart felt emotions in regards to Kody’s latest wife and her relationships with Christine and Janelle.
Last Sunday we saw all of Kody Brown’s sister wives (including pregnant Robyn) hit the gym for some personal training. The episode began with all the wives revealing their weight, and except for Robyn (who weighed in at 158 lb.) all of the other wives were over 200 pounds.
The Brown Family (Kody and his wives Meria, Janelle, Christine, and Robyn) stunned the nation when they openly discussed and filmed their polygymist lifestyle on television last year. It was incredible because it’s a minority behavior frowned upon by many, but also because it’s a felony offense under state bigamy laws, including laws in Utah,…
The Brown Family of TLC’s Sister Wives show usually spend Father’s Day together with all four wives and their soon-to-be 16 children, but this Father’s day is different.
It was already difficult keeping up with the 21 family members on TLC’s hit reality series Sister Wives which features Utah polygamist Kody Brown and his four wives, but throw in the fact that some of the children are from a previous marriage and that one of the sister wives was married to a brother of another sister wife, and what you’re left with is a big ol’ polygamuddy mess!
So we combined some professional-grade ancestegery with a bit of graphic design and came up with a “family tree” that should help simplify matters.
The Brown family from Sister Wives have stated that the purpose for doing the show was to expose their polygamist lifestyle and break down many of the stereotypes that abound in regards to plural marriage families. Regardless of how you feel about their choices after seeing these old school big hair photos of Kody, Meri, Janelle and Christine you’ll have to admit that they’re following through with the goal of “putting themselves out there!”
