Sister Wives Season 20 Episode 1: Why I Want to Be a Monogamist
Christine and David visit Janelle in North Carolina to celebrate the purchase of her new property; Kody and Robyn discuss their now monogamous relationship and the possibility of bringing in a new wife; Meri dips her toe back into the dating world.This week marks my first foray into recapping a current season of Sister Wives. While the family is still very aware of the cameras, their guard is lowered, and the vibe is completely different. We see Madison naming her pain in estrangement, Sol being infantilized in real time, Robyn’s covert manipulation, and little signs of Kody's time in the manosphere. And woven through it all is the deep unending grief of losing Garrison, a loss that completely reshaped the family forever and raises the stakes of every decision around contact, distance, and connection. This episode is a toughie, so let's go through it together.I'm away so next week, you'll get another re-watch episode before I return the following week.

A therapist’s exploration of Sister Wives, one episode at a time. In Sister Wives Go to Therapy, I examine the family dynamics, emotional undercurrents, red flags, and personal development portrayed on screen, through a clinical lens. No diagnoses, just thoughtful reflections on what happens when polygamy, patriarchy, and parentification collide in one complicated family.
