Sister Wives: Robyn Before The Tears

Like many women, Robyn Brown occasionally sought advice from her mother. The fourth wife of the Sister Wives clan describes her mother as a happy polygamous wife. So, from what Robyn says, her mother found a multiple marriage rewarding.

Watching her mother experiencing happiness in her chosen lifestyle of polygamy led Robyn to want the same thing. So, when these Sister Wives launched her first marriage, it was always a given that other women would come on board. But her first marriage fell apart before that could happen.

The aftermath of that marriage made Robyn feel like she had failed a little. Although she had no choice but to come out of a devastating marriage, she was worried about what others thought of her. Her ex is from a prominent family in their religious community. So, Robyn prepared to take on the role of the fall-guy in the eyes of that community.

When this Sister Wives star divorced her first husband, she spent most of her time at home with her children. The failed first marriage put Robyn in the position of a single mother of three, so she kept busy. Staying out of the eye of her community seemed like the best way to avoid the glimpses of a disapproving community.

But those who cared about a still young Robyn thought she should go back outside. Although dating became the furthest thing from her mind, Robyn Brown’s tendency to stay hidden by staying at home would soon come to an abrupt end. For this Sister Wives future bride, encouragement from friends and family fell on deaf ears at first. But Robyn said in a book she wrote years ago with her Sister Wives spouses, her mother’s advice was true..

Robyn Brown knew that it would not be easy to find her next husband. That’s because the man would take on the task of raising another man’s three children. Robyn said she did not care what her next husband looked like. He could be fat, old and unattractive. This future co-wife of Sister Wives wanted only one thing from her next husband. She wanted a man who had kindness and gentleness in his heart. It sounds like Robyn wanted a man who would raise her children with kindness above all else.

But she wouldn’t find that next father for her children, while living as a hermit out of the community. So, her mother gave her a few words of advice. She wanted Robyn to find someone else. But according to Robyn’s mother, her daughter had to “get her scent out there.

Many of Sister Wives’s followers found that advice oddly formulated. But it sounds like her mother actually made the point that she won’t find anyone by sitting at home. So, Robyn has her scent out there. When she attended a church dance, Kody apparently caught that smell.
