Sister Wives Airs tonight on TLC. Kody Brown is married to three wives, and tonight on the season finale of Sister Wives, he will add a fourth to his lineup. The Brown family has been criticized for their lifestyle, yet everyone is drawn to their series. It all started with HBO's Big Love. Polygamy finally became "sexy." After all, you have Bill Henrickson and his three dutiful wives, who gets all the sex he wants...including that from young Margene.
Despite the fan base, Big Love is fiction. Polygamy doesn't really exist...
Or does it?
It does. It's illegal in Utah, but it exists. Although Kody Brown is only legally married to one wife, cohabitation is enough in Utah to make polygamists and is a felony crime (although one that's rarely prosecuted.)
The Brown family receives a lot of criticism...but I only think that's because people are scared of what's different. The only problem I see with their lifestyle is the impact it has on the children, who have to home school and live life in secret.
But to each their own. They seem happy...and that's all that matters. I just hope that their criminal investigation doesn't end their show for once and for all.
Below is a video which discusses the Sister Wives show, plus a host of other entertainment subjects.
