‘Sister Wives’: Did Christine Give Kody a False Sense of Security?

Sister Wives star Kody Brown thought Christine Brown was sticking with him through life. He seemed self-assured that his four wives were by his side for good. That’s why reports say Christine’s decision to leave him blindsided the father of 18.

To understand his relationship with the mom of six, you need to go back to the beginning. Long before she became the third Sister Wives spouse, she struggled. She couldn’t get her future husband to notice her as a potential wife.

Sister Wives: Christine Brown Passed by Once

Once Christine had her sights on joining him and the Sister Wives family, she gave it her all. But getting Kody Brown to notice her was no easy feat. She ran in the same church circles as Kody and Meri Brown did at the time.

The three of them were young and they all knew each other from church youth events. Christine Brown was interested in Kody. She hoped to be his second wife. But after the two struck up a close friendship, that thought got shattered.

Kody talked at length with Christine, and they became good friends. But one day when he asked about another young woman in their midst, he floored her.

She learned Kody had his sights on Janelle Brown for his next Sister Wives bride. Christine’s thoughts of becoming the second wife crumbled. So, she went back to her life within her group of friends. But time went by, and another chance popped up.

Kody Brown Passes by Christine Again

Once again Kody caught her eye. After Janelle Brown had been with the family a short time, Kody Brown set out for wife number three. The thought of being the third wife of his Sister Wives enticed Christine. So, much like before she hung out with them at events. Many times, these friends would also gather at Kody’s father’s ranch.

Kody resumed his talks with Christine at these functions and things seemed to go well. Then Christine brought a friend of hers to one of these gatherings. Kody met her and not long after that, Christine learned Kody courted her friend as a possible third wife.

Then she learned they were to marry, and this girl was in line to become his number three. Devastation set in for Christine. But about two weeks before the wedding, Meri Brown called her. She gave her the news that the girl backed out of the wedding. So, bride number three for the Sister Wives wasn’t yet filled.

So far it doesn’t sound easy for Christine Brown. Becoming a Sister Wives’ co-wife proved quite the journey so far. Then there was the time the brakes almost came to a screeching halt for Kody Brown.

When on a road trip, he saw something in his rearview mirror. Christine was eating nachos from a gas station. And he said seeing a “chubby girl” sitting there “devouring” this junk food breakfast “put the brakes” on any chance at romance.

This almost became a deal-breaker for Kody. He said he slowed down the courting speed a bit after that. But Christine Brown prevailed and took her place in the Sister Wives household.

This goes to show what this woman endured to become one of the Sister Wives. It also demonstrates how this was not love at first sight for Kody.

So, it seems Kody saw this wife as someone who wouldn’t leave him no matter what. After all that she went through to become his wife, this might have given him a false sense of security

So, six kids later and a quarter of a century of marriage under her belt, Christine Brown made a choice. It sounds like a choice that her husband never saw coming.
