‘Sister Wives’: Kody & Robyn Keep Piling on the Contradictions

Sister Wives stars Kody Brown and Robyn Brown lit up the canvas when the TLC show first surfaced. Their relationship and then marriage highlighted the first few seasons on TLC.

Many of the early scenes and interviews homed in on old-fashioned family values. But it was a bit hard for fans to wrap their heads around this. Especially when the star of the show bedded down three and then four women.

Sister Wives: Kody Brown Made It Look So Good

Kody Bown said he started his religion-based plural marriage family with a plan. He believes his faith lets all his family members stay together for eternity.

But as Sister Wives rolled out more seasons, fans wondered how this could be. If they can’t stay together here on earth, how do they expect to make that transition beyond death work?

Kody Brown seemed to run his family on a system of values when the show first surfaced. Besides having three wives, with a fourth on the way, his rules seemed strict and non-wavering.

When he decided to court Robyn, he waited for her father’s permission to do so. Fans found this hard to swallow. They wondered if this was the case.

But some wondered if they threw it in as a nod to tradition. At the time, Robyn was a divorced mother of three, so why would he still require her father’s blessing on Sister Wives?

Robyn Brown Made It Look So Bad

Robyn said that she and her first husband, David Jessop, belonged to the same faith as Kody Brown. But they never took on a second wife. Still, she opted for polygamy the second time around.

The reason Robyn Brown gave for not opening up the marriage to a second wife was that their marriage wasn’t stable. She later confessed that she married her first husband because she was pregnant.

But the marriage wasn’t stable enough for another wife. Yet it was solid enough for having two more children together. So, this is yet another contradiction that fans pointed out from the Sister Wives show.

Sister Wives: Kody Courted Robyn in Peculiar Way?

Kody and his four wives became somewhat of a hit around the nation. Even people who never watched their show would tune in to a talk show to hear all about the man with four wives.

So this TLC series became a hit with some of the harshest critics somewhat warming up to them — at one time. But then cracks surfaced in their lifestyle. This allowed fans to see even more contradictions.

While Robyn Brown explained their courtship one way, Kody Brown seemed to see it another way. Then the other Sister Wives also weighed in. And it sounded different from the first two explanations. Like that famous first kiss that Kody planted on Robyn Brown.

When a Kiss Is Only a Kiss

Christine Brown, Kody’s third wife, had a problem with the kiss. Kody didn’t kiss Christine Brown until they stood at the altar. She’s said this a few times during interviews.

But Christine said she wouldn’t have it any other way. She could not in a good conscience kiss a married man. So, she didn’t expect Robyn to kiss this married man Kody until she was one of the Sister Wives.

Still, when Kody planted a kiss on Robyn to seal their engagement, Christine had a meltdown. But that was Christine’s fault — if you listen to Kody’s explanation years later.

He said Christine insisted that he kiss his next bride before they married, unlike what he did with her. So, Christine crumbles when hearing about this smooch. Yet years later, Kody points to wife three for insisting it happen.

It looks like Kody and Robyn took some liberties and exaggerated early on. It also seems to fans that Robyn Brown’s first marriage was monogamous. And now so is her second marriage based on reveals in the last season.
