Christine and David are deeply in love, as shown in recent photos Christine posted. They seem like a couple in the honeymoon phase, always dating and cherishing each other. Christine deserves complete and unwavering love, and her happiness appears everlasting. Small gestures, like preparing her favorite ice cream, make her feel special. Christine is in a period of immense joy, love, and happiness. She raised her children with dedication, and some have praised her for it.
Cody’s behavior is shaped by a patriarchal and abusive upbringing, a misogynistic church doctrine, an inflated ego, internalized homophobia, and untreated ADHD. His abusive childhood is evident in his carefully chosen language about his dad. Cody may have embraced polygamy to redeem his perceived masculinity. Despite my dislike for Cody, I’ve observed moments of emotional honesty from him throughout the seasons. His genuine remorse reflects a pattern typical of untreated neurodivergent parents. His controlling behavior with the boys during and after the coronavirus pandemic reflects his upbringing, where strictness was equated with making his father proud.
Robin’s influence over Cody, driven by her motivations and internalized misogyny, is evident, but she’s not solely to blame in this complex dynamic. Janelle appears most capable of navigating plural marriage, though even she has her limits with Cody. Placed in a different family environment, Cody might have developed differently, less abrasive and domineering.
Christine’s happiness with David highlights her period of immense joy and fulfillment. Cody’s dismissive attitude towards Isabel’s surgery, prioritizing Robin’s children over Isabel during her critical medical procedure, was deeply concerning. Janelle’s commitment to her family, such as pitching a tent in the backyard to support Isabel and Christine, contrasts with Cody’s skewed priorities.
Cody’s statement that Christine is treating Isabel’s surgery like a vacation is insensitive and misguided. Christine’s efforts to make the situation bearable for her daughter are understandable. Cody’s preference for Robin caused him to resent his other wives and their children. Savannah and Janelle’s strong bond and Janelle’s children’s love for animals speak volumes about their family dynamics.
The family’s investment in “My Sister Wife’s Closet” is baffling. Janelle’s straightforward assessment of the venture as a hobby business was refreshing. Robin’s insistence on supporting the situation, despite her Sister Wives’ disinterest, speaks volumes about her ambitions to control family resources. The idea of a plus-size clothing line was ludicrous given the lack of experience in fashion design.
Mary recently described her involvement in “Worthy Up” on her podcast, but her sales pitch lacked clarity. Maddie is starting to offer coaching and life advice on Instagram. These women have talents and interests beyond MLMs and life coaching. Janelle and Maddie enjoy gardening, and Christine’s passion for baking and cooking could lead to successful ventures.
Robin’s influence over her children, directing them to form strong attachments with influential family members, reflects the trauma of being uprooted from their biological father. Cody’s statement during the “Marriage Counseling: Texas Style” episode, “The family and I will love you,” stunned Christine. Cody seemed to gaslight Christine, making her feel as though she was in the wrong.
Christine’s growing assertion and challenge to family dynamics transformed Cody’s admiration into resentment, illustrating a troubled path of evolving roles and conflicts within their plural family setup. Robin’s claims of trying to connect with her Sister Wives and stepchildren seemed disingenuous.
Cody’s refusal to engage with Garrison after being absent showcases his immaturity and lack of willingness to prioritize his children’s needs. His controlling behavior and preference for Robin over his other wives and children contribute to ongoing family tensions.
