Sister Wives: Christine Brown Wonders Whether She Can Continue Her Marriage To Kody Brown

Sister Wives will return to TLC for a new season on Sun., Feb. 14, 2021, at 10 p.m. EST. The latest supertease for the next season of the long-standing reality show – which follows polygamist patriarch Kody Brown and his four wives, Meri, Janelle, Christine and Robyn Brown – shows a family at odds and at least two potentially crumbling marriages.

TLC’s supertease of the upcoming season of Sister Wives reveals that the Brown family’s difficulties in uniting as one after their move from Las Vegas to Flagstaff, Arizona, are far from resolved. Kody’s fourth wife, Robyn, admits that she feels more like a “stepmother” than a sister wife and mother figure to her sister wives’ children. “We’re really acting like four separate families,” she laments.

And with the women divided between four separate homes and rarely seeing each other because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Brown family seems more at odds than ever. Kody Brown’s second wife, Janelle, even asks Kody to stop coming to her house altogether to prevent the virus from spreading from house to house. She admits that she is ready to “go psychologically crazy” in quarantine. “Maybe there are some of us who are like, ‘Look, I don’t want it anymore,'” Janelle tells TLC’s producers, appearing to refer to her sister wives’ attitude toward polygamy

Meanwhile, Kody just wants his wives to “stop complaining about this division we have in the family.” “I don’t want to spend the rest of my life listening to women tell me how unhappy they are,” says the Sister Wives patriarch, adding that he “sometimes feels like the only adult” and that his wives are some of “the most stubborn people he’s ever known.”

The decline of Kody’s relationship with his first wife, Meri Brown, has been a staple of the series for several years. From the looks of the trailer, their marriage is not on the fast track to healing. “Kody and Meri’s relationship is really sad,” Robyn tells the producers of Sister Wives.

As she wipes away her tears, Meri Brown laments the sad state of her marriage to her husband of many years. “I can’t make him love me,” she cries.

During a picnic, she even asks Kody if he would push her off her feet if she bent over to kiss him – and his response is not promising, to say the least. He doesn’t seem interested in repairing his relationship with his first wife.

But Meri Brown is not the only Brown wife struggling in her marriage to Kody. Kody’s third wife, Christine, also seems to be at the end of her rope.

Christine not only feels that “everyone hates her” and thinks she is “always picking fights”; she seems to be seriously thinking about moving back to Utah – with or without Kody. “The next time I see Kody, I’m going to tell him I want to move freaking back to Utah, even if the girls don’t want me to,” Christine explains in frustration.

There also seems to be conflict between Christine and Robyn. At one point, Robyn seems to be talking about Christine when she candidly says, “If you know she’s really trying to sabotage your relationship with Kody, you can’t trust her.”

Christine Brown and Meri Brown share a heartbreaking moment together when Christine collapses and alludes to a possible divorce on the horizon. “Meri, I can’t do marriage with Kody Brown anymore,” the Sister Wives star tells Meri, who hugs her as she cries. “I don’t want to do it anymore.” “You don’t get to give up like that,” Meri tells Christine fiercely, urging her not to leave her marriage.

It certainly looks like this season of Sister Wives will have no shortage of drama for fans to talk about.
