Becoming Sister Wives: The Story of an Unconventional Marriage by Meri Brown, Kody Brown, Christine Brown, Janelle Brown, Robyn Brown
3.0

Ugh Kody! I have no issues with polygamy if that's where your religion leads you. I could not see myself with anyone like Kody even in a monogamous marriage. It's his way or the highway. He makes it a point of alway saying he includes all his wives in his decision making but ultimately it is what HE wants.

The sister wives are said to be strong women. I just didn't get that. The constant complaint of jealousy and questioning their self worth in the family was grating on my nerves. They knew what they were getting into and voluntarily went into this plural marriage knowing that Kody would have other wives so they should have had their insecurities handled beforehand. I will say that I think this whole marriage/family arraingement works because of Robyn. She seems most capable to adapt to all situations that arise and knows how to work through them involving everyone fairly.

While I don't live this lifestyle, I don't judge it either. I learned some aspects of the faith and for that I'm glad I read the book.
