Among the variety of reality shows hitting the airwaves, Sisters Wives on TLC brings a new twist to marriage.

The cast consists of Kody Brown, his four wives and their 16 children participating in an unscripted show making people aware of polygamist families combating prejudices. He is legally married to one person and the others are termed by them as spiritual unions. They are now being investigated for their unique family.

Being married to one person is enough. It is impossible remembering an anniversary or birthday for just one person, let alone, the idea of pleasing him or her. It is impossible trying to please multiple people. Forget about pleasing all of them at the same time. It won’t happen. Polygamy works like this: one man will marry one woman and after a period of time, they will discuss the possibility of him getting married again.

There are a few things that could be a plus for the first wife. An advantage when it came to babysitting and quiet time and she has a full time nanny, maid or whatever she desires without actually paying them.

I can also see this situation as a battleground.

Imagine the children saying, “I don’t have to listen to you. You’re not my mother.”

This show questions many high courts worldwide concerning marriage and constitutions’ guarantee of freedom of religion. British Columbia Chief Justice, Robert Bauman is to re-evaluate the 1892 Mormon Law as early as this summer, according to voanews.com.

What if it was a woman who desired more than one husband? It would be scandalous. There was a movie from 1960s that actually had this type of situation in the story. Society has other names for the woman, and the word lady or wife was not among any of those names.

An interesting introduction, “I am Kody, this is my better half, this is my wife, my significant other and here is my spouse.”

This is not half, but 25 percent.

This show and its antics scream ridicule. They want to educate people about polygamist families and stop prejudices. It is about people, their morals and society.

People should be more focused on paying their taxes on discovering a solution about countries’ debt crises, feeding the hungry and finding solutions that really matter.

If my life is so mundane and boring I would try to find something better to do than watch this.

It is difficult enough to discover enough about one person in the courtship, marriage and learn about them in your lifetime. Stick with what you know.
