Sister Wives star Kody Brown revealed that he had special requirement for Janelle Brown and Christine Brown before they could join his family. Shared in a teaser clip for the September 10, 2023, episode, the 54-year-old television personality introduced "sacred loneliness," a term he describes as what some women in plural marriages experience due to their husband not being around as much.
For former wives Janelle and Christine, Kody believed this concept was important so they could fit into the family.
“Sacred loneliness? Like you’re supposed to honor the fact that you’re lonely?” Christine laughed in response. Janelle agreed. “The idea is that you sacrifice some of your emotional needs because you want to live in a plural marriage,” she said. “I’ve always thought it was so dumb. Sorry.”
Meri Brown also weighed in. “It’s like, really, now you figured that out?” she said in regards to Kody. Robyn Brown was the only one that seemed to agree with Kody. “Yeah, plural marriage can be lonely. In my head, it’s an opportunity for you to get a relationship with God.”

In the clip, Kody went on to admit that he was "tired of hearing about the struggle" in regards to women in plural marriages being lonely, adding, “they all agreed that they were going to do this. I courted Meri and I courted Robyn, but Christine and Janelle both asked if they could be in the family,” he said. “And with that ask, I had some special requirements that I wanted them to meet in order to come into the family and mainly that was there’ll be other wives, you’ve got to be committed to me.”
