Kody Brown grew up as a traditional Mormon, until his father felt called by God to "the practice" when he was in his 40's. The practice refers to polygamy or having more than one wife. Kody Brown followed in his father's footsteps and decided to enter into plural marriages with four wives. His four wives are Meri, Jenelle, Christine, and Robyn, but since polygamy is not legal in the US, he is only legally married to his most recent wife, Robyn.
His other three marriages are considered " spiritual unions " and are acknowledged only by his church. Because polygamy is illegal, the Browns have left their church in Utah behind and currently live in separate homes in Flagstaff, Arizona. Their sect, called the Apostolic United Brethren church, recognizes the Mormon church as legitimate, but they feel there's one thing the church got wrong: banning polygamy. The AUB church has made sure to distance itself from the FLDS by reiterating that wives must be 18 to get married and may choose their own husbands.
The church's founder wanted to be transparent with his community about the church's beliefs so that their lifestyle wouldn't be seen as threatening, and the Browns followed the same thought process when they agreed to film Sister Wives. The Apostolic United Brethren church that all of the Browns belong to believes that polygamy is one of God's desires.
Oh, and the flight attendant speech at the beginning of this flight was the best. In terms of marriage, the AUB also says they are against any form of arranged or forced marriages for both first and plural wives.
First wives can be under 18, according to AUB rules, if they are of legal marriage age according to the state. Second wives and beyond must be 18 or over. So Kody and I went out for my birthday the other night and found this hidden gem in Flagstaff.
