Sister Wives

    Sister Wives is a relatively new show on TLC. This show follows the lives of a polygamist family from Utah. Kody Brown is the head of the household. He has four wives and sixteen children. Technically he is only married to one woman and the other three marriages are only spiritual. This is how he can get away with it. The whole reason that this family even agreed to do the show is to make the public more aware of their customs as polygamists. 

    Robyn has been the latest addition to the family. During the first season they showed Kody courting her. They eventually married also in this season. It has been 16 years since they had added another women to this family. Robyn has three kids from a previous marriage. The couple is now expecting their first child together. The other wives are very supportive and Robyn is even considering having a home birth. This child will make the 18th child to the family. 

"I'm overjoyed," Kody, 43, told People magazine. "This connects Robyn and me together in a way that nobody can take away."

    I do not understand how they can live like this, but I guess it is a personal choice. I myself could not take the thought that my husband was having a child with another woman or even that he was dating another woman. I would also be a weird thought to figure out how my children and my husbands children were related. Half-siblings? Cousins? Who knows?
