As the drama unfolded, many were left wondering why Meri had to endure such madness. However, Season 19 promises to shake things up by finally giving Meri, and her supporters, the freedom they’ve been longing for!
Why Kody Brown Married Twice After Meri Brown inSister Wives
Meri andKody Browntied the knot when she was just 19 and he was 21, embracing their faith’s encouragement of polygamy. Together, they ventured into a plural marriage. Soon after, Kody Brown“spiritually”married Janelle and Christine just because he could.

And as the audiences know the first season ofSister Wives, broughtRobyninto the picture as the fourth wife of the Brown family. Despite being Kody’s legally wedded spouse, howMeri Brownwas treated compared to the other wives has beenshocking. It was glaringly obvious that he didn’t want her around, leaving fans scratching their heads at the dynamics in this unconventional family.
Meri and Kody Brown have been married for over three decades, weathering ups and downs together. While she has been a loyal supporter of her husband, the samecan’t be saidin return. The reason behind Kody marrying twice more after Meri could be Kody’s desire for children, especially given Meri’s fertility struggles.

As the first wife, Meri watched painfully as Christine and Janelle welcomed multiple pregnancies before she finally had their only child, Leon. Despite her commitment and love, Meri Brown saw her husband go on to have six more children with his other wives.
Meri Brown Was Too Good for Kody Brown from the Start!
Meri has consistently won the audience’s hearts onSister Wives, but she truly brought tears to many eyes when she agreed to divorce Kody, allowing him to marry Robyn legally. With three children from a previous relationship, Robyn’s kids weren’t recognized as Kody’s without a legal marriage.

By choosing to divorce, Meri allowed Kody to adopt Robyn’s children. Although Kody clearly favored Robyn, his treatment of Meri post-split has been even harsher than how he treated Christine and Janelle. While he lamented his efforts with Christine when she left and tried to rekindle his relationship with Janelle, Kody seemed eager to dismiss Meri entirely.
TheSisterWivesSeason 19 trailer(viaYouTube) suggests he wants to act as if their marriage never mattered. Perhaps the most painful blow was when Kody stated he didn’t want any more children with Meri, yet he was more than willing to expand his family with Robyn. This just showed how little he valued their marriage. However, people are happy Meri Brown is finally leaving this horrendous marriage! People wish her nothing but the best!
