The Sister Wives Discuss Their Unique Lifestyle (Part 1) - Pickler & Ben 

So true

Exactly!!

👏👏👏

Is run away and change my make if I were any of their kids. Kody = 🤮

Especially now

He s a bully and they finally are sick of it.

He’s not a smart man. Somehow he becomes a leader because he has a penis 🤦🏾‍♀️

Yes. But you have to study the evils of mormonism to understand why they believe what they do.

It exists but the term is polyandry.

I love my husband! We've been married for 30yrs but I wouldn't want another one!!!! No no no no!! LMAO We have a 50/50 marriage he's always been helpful with everything. If you had more than one husband you'd have to spend a ton of money on DNA testing!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@ellengill514 They make it sound like the women have the power. Like they call the shots?? They seem to be different than the other polygamist groups? I think as long as you are old enough to make your own decisions and aren't pushed into it but, then again we'll never know what truly goes on behind closed doors!!!

@@juliemitchell6037 Agree. I have been married almost 27 years. No way would I share my husband.

Kindness??

Oh for sure--I'd catch him asleep and wack it all off!!!

😂😂😂😂😂💯

Eww

Some of them enjoy having 'sisterwives' 😒 They were raised in it.

I agree.

I love to watch the sister wives and seeking sister wives, just intrigued ......

She's alady they’re sick in the head lol

@@daniellemartinez8810 this whole upset aint normal..it blows my hair back..thats why im watching it..lol

She definitely is awesome

Major Honor. I wouldn't praise Meri much!! I think she's very self serving! Like her catfish crap yes I'm very sorry that happened to her. First I don't live plural marriage but I think when you commit to something especially a marriage you end it before you look for someone else. This is just my opinion. People can say Cody has other wives why shouldn't she do her thing. Even though I don't live this life style or even want to. The way they've all explained the reason why they chose poligmy is because of religious reasons. So in my personal opinion she was cheating. I don't particularly like Cody but I don't know him but I do like his wives so he must have some very good qualities because the woman who have chosen to marry him are smart women and they've raised some great kids in my opinion so he must have some good qualities and goodness I'm not seeing through the TV. His children seem to all love and respect him. I truly think he loves attention and he has a high opinion of himself especially where looks are concerned I think he really thinks he's hot! 😂😂. If my husband was doing the same thing Meri did getting emotionally invested with another woman on the internet I would 100% consider that cheating!!! I think I could handle a sexual one night stand better than I could a affair of the heart. I know it was a woman blah blah blah dangerous threatening her family blah blah blah but Meri went there she may not have been looking for affair but when it started heading to that romantic place and don't forget she 100% thought it was a man!!! she should have STOPPED RIGHT THEN!!! and revaluated her marriage and either ended her marriage or figured something out!!! But again in my opinion she cheated!! CHEATED ON CODY but most of all her daughter, and all of the other children she claims as her own and her sister wives! I think she wants sympathy for what happened but she's grown ass woman!!! Who thought this hot man liked her and she liked it! Only she knows what exactly went on between them but I know she tried to meet him (before she knew) her sisters in this catfish situations were divorced when they were hurt and catfished by this nut job! Meri I was a married woman who was suffering from empty nest syndrome. She needed to get out of her marriage or find a way back to her husband. If your married you should never let a friendship with a person of the opposite sex go that far! Plenty of married people go through changes in there marriage she's just selfish if I was her sister wife Meri would be working at making up with me because none of those other women did anything wrong and in this situation neither did Cody. Not a sermon just a thought! LOL

Julie Mitchell I think Meri was feeling very low at the time and the catfish woman knew this, and obv knowing how us women feel and what we want to hear when feeling low, she fed those lines to Meri who felt comforted and felt an attachment toward who she thought she was talking to. Bear in mind that Kody was behaving like a dick and thinking of another wife plus Meri with only the one biological child who was then almost an adult and Meri worked too; she wasn’t involved with family life as much as she would like to have been had she had more children of her own. I’m fully sympathetic towards Meri over the catfishing thing. People are very clever who carry out such deeds and I don’t believe for 1second that Meri was looking for anyone, she was just flattered at a time when she felt in need of it

Julie Mitchell ps I would find it to be cheating if it were my husband talking to another woman online , but then he wouldn’t. Kody wasn’t giving her anything, she was down and miserable. My husband and I only married 4 weeks b4 Christmas after 32 years! I know him by now

And Robyn is the favorite one even tho they like to say he doesnt have favorites

@@juliemitchell6037 question is Meri married? Yes they divorced, she could have said no! It probably was Cody's idea not her. Anyways did they have another wedding ceremony after the divorce?? So they aren't in a marriage are they?? Technically no. So Go Meri find a man, you hate the pural life. Your an empty nester.

😔 p.p

She looks facially the same. Its weight gain. I think theyre nutters but they chose it.

I agree Robin looks 55 lol

Having kids does not make u look old. I have 6 kids and look the same as I did after 3 kids

​@@helixmoore7636 now way. Her face is OLD NOW

I believe they did have happy moments in Vegas bc Robyn could only have so much control. But after the Flagstaff move she got her daggers 🗡 in and monitored kodys EVERY move and began making him alienate his children

Its editing and scripted

Haha like Janelle said

You're so right. Just discovering the show, and this is my exterior read also. She looks at peace. (But she is eating a lot of her emotions...)

Agree

@Karen O 😂😂😂😂 I hate it when men do a comb over or the long hair thing he's doing!! Why is it when people suffer hair loss what hair does grow always looks corse and unruly??

At least he doesn’t have his man bun

Soon be bald 👨🏼‍🦲 😂

Chelle _1994 omg yes, than man bun was horrendous

Ugh!

Mary-Anne Delaney , I'm almost sure it's legal in Nevada.

They aren’t hurting anyone let them live their life style they are adults they made the choice

I guess cause only Cody and Robyn are legally married

Exactly

I don't like Cody either. I can't see him envoled as much with the kids like the wife's do. He's hard to take.put a bag over his face then maybe I could listen to what he says. His expressions don't seem serious to me.

Same

Thank you

It's working for Joe dargers family!! But they all live in 1 house and show affection openly

I find her pretty. Especially her eyes.

He must have some kind of charisma. I mean 4 women chose him. 🙄

😵

God allowed them to do it. Every polygamy family had issues cause of the polygamy. There was even a time where there werent enuff men and women wanted polygamy for protection and covering. It didnt work out either

There is a fantastic book called "Tell It All The Story of a Life in Mormonism" by Fanny Stenhouse. (It's free on Amazon Kindle) She explains that the in the beginning, polygamy wasn't originally part of their belief system. That actually came as a surprise to many followers.

Men in the Bible were polygamous

Lacey White it’s not a choice to be gay or straight though.

Lauren Akers if you ask a Mormon it sure is.

Arieleth at the end of the day they’re all adults and doesn’t matter if you think they’re indoctrinated or not. With lgbt getting rights this type of stuff is definitely next.

She’s had like 2 kids now on top of the 3 she already had so she’s a mom of 5. Must be taxing and she’s not 29 like she was in 2011 she’s what 36?

the blue velvet River kody also looks about 50 now wow awful

She’s eating the brown carb diet.

Rose Queen l”

She didn’t age well either...36 is still young but her skin doesn’t look good.

He s looks more like women than wives.

It's the fakery of show and money

Well one involves child abuse, rape, arranged marriage so yea

Um bc THEY are NOTHING LIKE WARREN JEFFS SECT OF LDS WITH CHILD RAPE AND CHILD BRIDEZ... WTF

As you can see....she did not . So , I think , that was fake news .

I

What a Shit she believes in , sorry !

@Shell m That is not the point here . ....the point is that they do believe in the God of the Bible and Jesus . ..and that the God of the Bible never intendet polygamy , which Jesus also confirmed . SO TELL ME : How can they believe , it is God will to live like that ?

@Shell m Well , that makes two of us . But as far as the Bible is concerned I recommend the book of Lee Strobel . ....Read that first and then you can judge . And also read the book of Nabeel Qureshi . .....Seeking Allah , finding Jesus . ...both books are very interesting , logical and honest .

They didn't follow Bible. Mormons READ Book of Mormon

Or, cut it off!

Chris Terry he would look way better with a complete shave

Kira Davis She’s not married to him. She divorced him so Robyn could marry him and he was able to adopt her kids from a previous marriage

@@MandyAmsterdam but why does she stay? I feel bad for her ..Cody fell out of inlove with Meri along time ago..but he seems inlove with Robyn

That was for that " dispensation" we are now in the "Grace dispensation" so it no longer applies.

Ugh Cody is a twat.

I would believe that if the women could also have multiple partners and not just the men.

Yeah seriously, literal opposite

Umm Osayd. Have you watched from the beginning? Jennel (heavier blonde) and Christine (thinner blonde). In the early days of the show but Meri wasn't very nice to them in my opinion. Maybe because she was the legal wife. I think they have found thier voice and are using it! Jenelle wife #2 I feel was really beaten down in some ways by Meri she seemed to be more interverted and quite and I think Meri took advantage of that! I'm not a polygamist but I can see the advantages to having co-wives sister wives. I wouldn't want more than one husband but I could see where the sister wife dynamic could really work with the right woman life would be easier in some ways I think you would be able to really follow your dreams and know your children were always taken care of. Whether your dreams are to conquer the world in business or business woman or to be a stay-at-home mom and raise your children I can see the benefits to it. I think the stay at home mom would really have to be a good woman to share herself involved another woman's child like they were their own I think that's the biggest problem with stepmothers some women just can't love another woman's child!

@@juliemitchell6037 no i havent watched this show, just a couple of clips on RU-vid. I can tell that meri has let polygamy wear her down. Polygamy is a great discipline for woman. U really see your true self under what u thought you were. So you think youre this kind, caring, generous, loving person. Polygamy tears down that facade and exposes whats under it. You see your selfish, angry, weak, hateful, evil side. And its either you let that side of you take over and destroy your life, or you confront it and fix the problems. Every woman has them, we just dont always get the chance to see and fix them. I deal with a lot of women in polygamy and its generally all the same mechanisms at work. Its more difficult i think for first wives to suddenly have another woman walk in. But all wives generally face the same challenges. Jealousy, insecurity, comparison, ingratitude. And it makes no difference if you are a beauty queen and your co is a cripple, youll still be jealous. What worked for me after about 3 years of struggling was realising that God could really send me a real test. I have 4 healthy kids, money, a house, loving husband and so much more. and i was miserable every single day because of one minor thing which was that i wasnt the one and only wife. I actually realised i was wasting my life being sad while nothing in my life was bad. Like imagine if i was lile another woman who's child was seriously ill, or died. Thats something thats truly upsetting. But i was wasting happy and easy times being upset about something so stupid. And from that day i chose to be happy. Me and my co each look after our own house. The benefits for me is that my husband isnt here every single day so i have a day to just focus on me and the kids. I can visit friends and have a life. Also another advantage is thst im not this crazy over obsessed wife. I learned to be loving and supportive rsther than suffocate him. And the best advantage is thst i actually have a husband. I could have been single and lonely like so many women are these days.

I dont understand the argument "it makes it easier to raise children". Well yeah, having 700 wives would make it even easier, but that doesn't make it a good idea or right. Maybe instead, the husband should pull his weight and PARENT instead of just being a dictator/ financial provider, then you wouldn't "need" another wife. Two parents have always been enough in my family for every generation, and it is the way God intended. There is no reason for a second wife to "help with the children", that is the mother and the father's main responsibility and role. Also, just because a lot of marriages are unsuccesful i doesn't make polygamy a good idea? It means people need to put MORE work into their marriage with one another, not solve it by having sex with someone else and conveniently calling it another" wife"... . The reason people get jealous over their husband sleeping with other women is because we are supposed to! Im sure he wouldnt like you having sex with another man very much! Not to mention you can "learn to be loving and supporting" to your partner without them bringing someone else into the marriage. Sounds like him feeling "suffocated" meant more the restrictions of only have one woman. Of course it's all fine and dandy now because he has his cake and can eat it too. Also just because there are people worse off, it doesn't mean we should start settling. It doesn't mean we should expect less of our own partner and relationship because "it could be worse", that's just silly in my opinion. We have our own wants, needs, goals, and expectations REGARDLESS of who "has it worse" (or better) than us. I'd MUCH rather be "alone" than have a husband who doesnt value me enough to make me his one and only partner. Besides, being alone doesn't equate lonliness, you are very confused on that. Plenty of single women are fulfilled, while plenty of people in relationships are just going through the motions and actually quite lonely and unhappy. There's this dynamic of pity of single women that some married women like to play, which is ironic because as a single woman, I pity women who have settled and are too afraid to be alone to find actual happiness and fulfilment. I want more than a provider or the relief of finally being "mrs" or to simply "have a husband", I want one life partner, who wants me and only me back. I want a partnership, I don't fear being alone and I know blessings come with patience. But with that being said, I believe each to their own as long as they are consenting adults and can do as they wish, but I certainly do not personally agree with these justifications for plural marriage at all. If your best reason for plural marriage is "you actually have a husband", that just screams settling and "well better than being alone", to which i feel the exact opposite and would so much rather be alone until I want what I know I need and want.

@@cayk9444 well in my situation, no one helps me with my kids. I just have more time with them because my husband has another wife. Men in polygamy chip in far more when it comes to their family than monogamous men. Because there is so much more that needs to be done. Its not fun and games for the husband, its a massive responsibility. Also dont down play men being financial providers. Its a very stressful and demanding task, with an immense amount of pressure to succeed. Failure means a lot of people needing him will be extremely disappointed. Polygamy isnt roses and daisies. Its hard. But having been previously married to someone who was just a terrible person, and being an only wife. Id rather be the second, 3rd, 4th wife to a good man than the only to a deadbeat. My marriage works. Ive grown heaps and learned loads about myself throughout this journey. And i have been able to help many other women struggling to come to terms with it in their own lives. Happiness at the end of the doesnt depend on anyone or anything. It is entirely dependent on an individuals perception. Often times women hang it on the necks of their husband and become extremely co dependent. Im blessed that ive learned not to be that way and its polygamy that taught me.

@@tranquilambiance1751 Well each to their own, I just personally don't agree at all. I'm not sure how accurate polygamous men "chipping in more" when it comes to the family is. I'm glad that is the case in your house though, but I've heard the women tend to have the brunt of the parenting and responsibilites (other than finances), since the men are sole providers. I am absolutely not downplaying the stress of being a provider, but my point is that i think a husband should be so more than a provider, he is a partner. He is my life partner, and I am his. While I am certainly sad to hear about your past relationships, that has nothing to do with monogamy but rather the shitty individual (and shitty individuals can come in any relationship type). But I don't understand why it's a terrible abusive ex OR polygamy. Its not an all or nothing. There are plenty of wonderful, loving men that are looking for one woman, but sometimes blessings come with patience. I'd also have to disagree with the "clingyness" comment. While I agree that some women (and lets not forget some men), can be clingy, this is not a matter of adding more people into a relationship so you can like get used to your husband sleeping with other women and be forced to be less jealous, but rather a personal issue where one has to find self worth and work on their relationship with themself so that they dont feel the need to cling off a partner. If you love yourself and truly have self worth, you won't need to cling off another person. To me, it seems so contradicting to deal with jealousy by having a man love and sleep with multiple women. It seems backwards, not forwards. Issues should be dealt between the self and the partner, adding additional people is not a problem solver. I think we all deserve a man that values us and only us (plus the double standard kills me, how would he like you adding more men into the mix). There are so many guys out there, I'd have no interest in going for a guy that doesn't think my love and only my love is enough. I want my daughters to go for a loving, caring, hard working monogamous man that values her and recognizes her worth. If I, myself, am not enough for a man I am with, then he's not the one for me, no matter how great he is in other respects. To me, having no man js better than having a man that falls short of the things I know deep down I deserve, even if he seems great. But still, I say each to their own as long as no one is being hurt and it is consensual. It's interesting because the way you pity and dont understand single people is kind of the way I pity and cant understand polygamous women.

Who are Kelly and Ben???

Well theyre good at that illusion.
