Kody Brown is a conundrum at best. The Sister Wives star often speaks out of both sides of his mouth. And if you were close to him, he wouldn’t be the man you go to for advice. But nonetheless, Kody loves to hear the sound of his advice and usually can’t figure out how to put a cork in it. Kody is zero for three when it comes to holding on to wives, but in the newest episode, viewers found him sharing some questionable wisdom with them, which left many of us thinking he should have listened to himself

Kody Brown’s first marriage to Meri Brown explained

Meri Brown first met Kody when she was only 18 while both attended a church event. The mother of one was introduced to her future husband by his sister, Christy. In the family book, Meri noted, “I was a little taken with Kody right off the bat.” Meri added, “He was definitely cute, and had a great attitude. He was talkative and engaged me in conversation, and made me feel comfortable around him.” During their meet-cute, Kody also showed interest in Meri even though he denies those feelings now. Kody shared, “Meri was so cute and sweet when I met her that I had difficulty suppressing my hopelessly romantic nature. She had a remarkable purity about her. I had a sneaking suspicion that we were soulmates.” 

Both Kody and Meri believed in abstaining from any physical intimacy before getting engaged, including handholding and kissing. But in 1990, they tied the knot. In Season 19, Kody revealed that he had issues with Meri, who started to come across as unfavorable. But he ignored the red flags and just decided to add another wife to the mix. 

Meri Brown held out hope for her marriage until the end

In Sunday’s all-new Sister Wives episode, Meri revealed that the church had granted her a “release.” This was huge news for Meri, as it meant she wouldn’t be tied to Kody in the afterlife. Meri told the cameras “I was granted what is called in our church a release, which is basically the equivalent of a divorce.” Even though Meri seemed a bit down about the end of her marriage, Kody came across as relieved. The two have only been coexisting for years. After Meri’s catfish scandal, it was apparent that Kody wanted nothing to do with her. 

But she hung in there for years, trying to win back her favor amongst the other wives. Kody had stopped showing her love and affection, with even the other wives taking note. No one fully understood why Meri stayed as long as she did, but it was probably because she truly loved him. The writing was on the wall for Meri after Kody shared in a confessional, “She is upset that I’ve dragged this out for so long. I don’t blame her. I don’t want Meri to be in this place where she’s taking this toll, this direction that both Christine and Janelle have taken. Oh, yeah, ‘I need one more enemy right now.’” Kody went on to say, “I think if I were single and Meri was single, would I date her? No, I wouldn’t.”   

Kody Brown trolls his own feelings for Meri Brown

In a Sister Wives episode, Kody is seen talking about his union with Meri in a negative light. Instead of leaving his third breakup in an honorable way, he is heard mocking his decision to marry Meri. While driving, Kody noted, “You know what really sucks? It’s not divorce that sucks. It’s marrying the wrong person.” Meri told TLC cameras, “What sucks is marrying the wrong person and not having the decency to tell her until 32 years later.” To which Kody can be heard saying, “I wish I wouldn’t have ever married her.”

Kody trying to wish away his decision to marry was weird. As viewers watched the father of 18, he just seemed to ignore all his wrongdoings within the union once again. Instead of acting like a crybaby, Kody might have tried to explain why he felt Meri was wrong to help followers understand. And if it is true that Kody never loved Meri, why did he ever wait at the end of the aisle for her? It just doesn’t seem kind. The best lesson learned from Kody’s selfishness is how not to love someone. That’s advice you can take to the bank.
