The Big Picture When Sister Wives first premiered in 2010, reality show viewers were shocked by the idea of a group of modern women all being fine with only being married to one man. Especially when that one man, Kody Brown, expected loyalty from all of his wives while he continued to search for more to add to the group. There was, however, one woman in his group of wives that Kody was legally married to first: his first wife, Meri Brown.
Meri Brown was raised in a polygamist home of practicing Mormon fundamentalists, so she was not new to the lifestyle of polygamy at all.Mormonism is a patriarchal religious belief system, and polygamy was seen as a good thing and encouraged men to have as many wives as possible.
Meri, who is one of 27 kids in her family, met Kody when she was 18, and they got married in 1990, making her his first wife and his only legal wife. Janelle, Christine, and Robyn Brown joined the family later on, and the kids came along as well. Sister Wives shined a light on their lifestyle, putting them into the public eye, which ultimately shifted the dynamics within the group.

During a confessional in a 2022 episode, Meri said, “It’s interesting hearing talking about this and the parallels that happening with him and Christine and me and him.” She added, “It’s kind of disturbing because some of the things that he’s frustrated about with Christine, he did to me. He wants to work on it with Christine but not me.
