For years, Kody Brown of Sister Wives has been an outspoken supporter of living a polygamous lifestyle. The TLC star once claimed, “Love should be multiplied. Not divided.” But gone are the days when he felt safe embracing the idea of having four wives. In recent years, all but one have left him behind for greener pastures. So, it doesn’t come as a surprise that Kody wouldn’t want his beloved daughters taking part in the taboo Mormon culture.
Aurora Brown and Breanna Brown are struggling
During the most recent episode of Sister Wives, fans caught a conversation between Robyn Brown and her two daughters. When Robyn asked about their future, Aurora Brown confessed, “I don’t have the same call to it that you and Dad do and did.” Younger sister Breanna Brown, who is just 19, shared that she was unsure about her future husband, too. Aurora added, “I have conflicting thoughts. But right now I’m just, I don’t think so. I’m not sure if I want to live that.” It was obvious that both young adults have been affected by the huge change within the family.
Last season, Aurora and Breanna revealed that they felt discarded by their siblings. Even though most of the Brown children have denied ending their relationship, it probably doesn’t help that Robyn always seems to add her two cents, causing even more issues between the siblings. Robyn told the cameras “What we’ve gone through in our family as far as everything falling apart, I feel like it’s more because of the individuals rather than plural marriage.”
Why Kody Brown won’t allow his daughters to have a plural marriage
Kody isn’t oblivious to the fact that his older children are steering away from the idea of polygamy. Most of his children who are married, like Mykelti Brown, Gwen Brown, Aspen Brown, Logan Brown, and Maddie Brown, have made it clear that they would never have more than one spouse. During Christine Brown’s wedding special, Mykelti noted that she believed “polygamy is a terrible idea.” The mother of three added, “Honestly, I loved having all of my siblings, my mom, my dad, but I don’t think it was fair to my parents. None of them got what they needed out of a marriage.” Janelle Brown’s children also have strong opinions on the matter.
Gabe Brown once noted, “I think that polygamy is a beautiful lifestyle for those that desire it, who believe in it and want everything that comes with it. Personally, I don’t think I’d ever be able to make it work.” Kody didn’t seem surprised by any of his children’s answers. The patriarch took to his confessional to add, “I don’t think any of my kids are going to live a plural marriage,” he speculated. “I could possibly see it if one of my daughters wanted to marry a married man. I don’t think the experience they’ve had with our family would make them want to do that.”
Sister Wives might be coming to an end
Kody looked solemn as he acknowledged the life he had once dreamed of didn’t work out. He continued, “I really wouldn’t care to have my daughters in plural marriage. I really don’t think any of my sons are interested in plural marriage, either.” But it seems there still might be a chance with Robyn’s brood. Breanna expressed a desire to start going back to church. She told her mom, “I want to start dating guys who kind of believe the same thing and have the same life goal as me. So I think that would probably be a good place to start.”
I can’t kick the feeling that Robyn would probably be okay with one of her daughters walking the same dramatic path as she did. The only remaining wife of Kody told Sister Wives cameras “If Breanna got a testimony and felt like plural marriage was her choice, and that’s what she felt like was her path, I’d be like, okay. But if not, that’s okay, too. It’s absolutely okay.” For once, Kody spoke sense as he urged his children not to follow in his footsteps. This might be the only time I agree with something that Kody has said. It’s a holiday miracle.
Sister Wives airs on Sundays on TLC.
