Sister Wives: Kody & Meri’s Relationship Was Never Meant To Last (Are They Better Off Without Each Other?)

Sister Wives star Kody Brown and his relationship with Meri Brown was doomed from the start, even though his first wife held on to the hope that they’d get back together. Meri grew up in a polygamist family and had 27 siblings, while Kody’s father began exploring polygamy when Kody was a teenager. Kody was 21 years old, and Meri was 18 when they were introduced to each other at a church event in October 1998. Kody and Meri got married a few months later, in April 1999. Although Kody and Meri planned on adding more wives to their family, they remained monogamous until 1993.
