Christine Brown, one of the stars of the reality show “Sister Wives,” seems to be indirectly criticizing her ex-husband Kody Brown for the “special requirements” he demanded from her before she joined his plural marriage. In a playful Instagram post with her fiancé David Woolley, Christine references a comment Kody made in Episode Four of Season 18. She emphasizes how wonderful it is to be loved unconditionally and without extra conditions. In that same episode, Kody discussed his plural marriages and disclosed that he “courted” his first and fourth wives, Meri and Robyn Brown, while his second and third wives, Janelle and Christine Brown, asked to join the family. However, he also mentioned that he had specific prerequisites that he expected them to fulfill, such as being fully committed to him and accepting other wives.

Janelle Brown expressed her perspective in her personal confession, stating that it is inappropriate for a man to search for wives. She believes that women should be the ones to approach a family and explain their spiritual revelation about belonging in the family. Janelle then revealed how Kody Brown’s perception of the situation made her and Christine feel. She explained that Kody repeatedly claims that Christine and she begged to be in the family while Robyn was invited. This made them feel like they deserved less and should be content with what they have. Nevertheless, they did not plead to be in the family and only asked, went through courtship, and got married. Fans related to Christine Brown’s reference to “special requirements” and offered words of encouragement in the comments section. One fan praised Janelle, while another cheered her on.

Some viewers mentioned another memorable phrase from Kody Brown in the same episode, “sacred loneliness,” which describes the feeling of wives in a plural marriage being lonely while their husband is spending time with other wives. One person even suggested that Janelle and Christine should create merchandise featuring these phrases. Kody Brown was previously married to four women, but as of 2022, he is no longer married to any of them.
