‘Sister Wives’: Kody Brown Caused Christine Sorrow Long before Marriage

Sister Wives star Christine Brown shocked fans by leaving Kody Brown to live in Utah. She once moved mountains just to become his wife. It’s not clear if she left her marriage for good or if she just left the location where the Sister Wives clan lives. But either way, Kody is left behind in Flagstaff, Arizona through Christine’s surprising move.

Sister Wives: Christine Brown’s Sad Journey

It wasn’t that long ago when Christine Brown told the world how much she loved Flagstaff. But something drastically changed.

Since the early days, it was not easy for this co-wife to finally become the third bride of Kody. She fell in love with Kody long before he took her on as another spiritual wife for the Sister Wives brood.

Christine Brown traveled in the same circle as Kody when he was a newlywed to his first wife, Meri Brown. She also shared how she fell head over heels for the man attempting to build a polygamous lifestyle.

She was hoping to become the second wife to the rather charismatic man she spent time with at church functions. This Sister Wives patriarch attended the various events within their church at the time with Meri.

Christine Brown hit it off with Kody Brown, or so she thought. That was until she learned he was about to take on a second wife and it wasn’t her. So, it looked like this was the end of Christine’s dreams of joining the family that eventually would become the Sister Wives.

TLC Star Bypassed Twice for Kody Brown’s Wife

Christine Brown learned that Kody and Meri, had a new wife picked out. The girl was just a teenager, so they waited until she turned 18 before this second marriage would take place.

This was a real slap in the face for lovelorn Christine, who happened to introduce this girl to Kody Brown. So, if plans with this teen had panned out, the fans of Sister Wives might have never known Christine Brown, as you may have seen at Soap Dirt.

Much to Christine’s surprise, just a week or two before the wedding was to take place, the girl backed out. A phone call from Meri delivered the good news (for Christine anyway) that the wedding is canceled.

Still, the number two slot on the Sister Wives brides list was not in the stars for Christine. What happened next was Janelle Brown caught Kody’s eye.

He even asked Christine about the woman he took on as his second wife before his marriage to Janelle. This was another heartbreak for her. By now she suffered through two hopeful periods for becoming a polygamous wife for Kody Brown. But to no avail.

Sister Wives: One-Way Affection?

According Christine, she loved Kody so she endured these setbacks that tore at her heartstrings. First, she’s passed by for Kody to marry a teenager. Then when things look good again Janelle slips in.

Christine finally got her courting period with Kody. But he’s not all too keen on her during this time. Kody Brown admitted to an incident with Christine Brown that almost became a deal-breaker. During a road trip, while they courted, she sat in the backseat and ate convenience store nachos.

Kody described it as a scene that turned him off. He watched through his rearview mirror as a heavy-set woman devoured the food as they drove along. So, he backed off a bit. Christine didn’t know about this until years after they were married when Kody divulged this for the first time publicly.

While she eventually got her man, she did have a tough time through the years getting what she needed from her husband. Several times through the seasons of Sister Wives, his third bride attempted to show affection to her shared husband. But he’d back away, roll his eyes, or just look frustrated.

Super Wife Christine Couldn’t Do Enough for Shared Husband

Christine Brown seemed to give it her all to be a good wife for Kody. This mom of six would stop everything she was doing to make him something to eat if he happened to waltz in hungry.

She tried to be that romantic wife no matter what, which she demonstrated several times on Sister Wives. But Kody never seemed to appreciate this undying love she appeared to have for this man who ended up with four wives.

Even when she was pregnant with Truely Brown, her shared husband was courting Robyn Brown. He had a 10-day honeymoon while she was at home with a newborn. The Sister Wives fans rallied for her around this time.

Still, Christine Brown endured all this for Kody Brown, the man she loved. But it looks like it finally became overwhelming as the one wife who worked so hard to please her husband is now living in another state.

Season 16 of the Sister Wives series rolls out on Sunday, November 21 on TLC at 10 p.m. EST.
