Sister Wives

Sister Wives and Complications

            I have read this blog that interests me about what is on TLC that is Sister Wives. This blog is very interesting on how four women are married to one man! It is completely nuts in my opinion! Meri is his first wife then he has Janelle, Christine and his new wife Robyn. They were kicked out of their Utah home and forced to move to Las Vegas, Nevada. These people were the first to televise the inside of the polygamy in the Christian way in their own belief. I watch this show every Sunday night on TLC just to see how these ladies aren’t jealous, or upset all the time and still raising the kids. It’s a very different lifestyle to what I’m used to. I’m all for doing what you believe in even if I don’t understand it. Meri strikes me of somewhat like I am. Willing to help out until she just can’t anymore; to me she’s the back bone of the Brown Family. She helped pick out her sister wives and has struggled with several different life decisions. In Las Vegas they got a separate home instead of living in one big house. This I think helped her with issues. This lifestyle isn’t one that I would live or choose due to the stress, jealousy, financial responsibility or sharing my husband. It makes me think they are a stronger woman than I am because of the situation but it also makes me realize that they put themselves in this position. Watching this show you can tell each one gets jealous in their own little way especially with the new forth wife Robyn having a baby, their first one together. Meri seems closer to Robyn then the other wives. Since, this show Sister Wives has aired, in their second season; more people are starting to come out and showing the different beliefs in this polygamy lifestyle. Not everyone is like the colts that force young girls to marry. These women will tell you they don’t believe in this! I’m open minded about things and just like every other person in America. I just want to see how this stuff works and learn about it. Just like figuring out a new phone!
