In this episode, Sam, who grew up in the FLDS community, and his wife Melissa sit down to share their reaction to Sister Wives Season 19, Episode 6. They dive into the complex dynamics of polygamous marriage, exploring whether "duty" is enough to sustain a relationship in a polygamous religion, and if love even matters. Drawing from their personal experiences—Sam’s upbringing in a polygamous household and Melissa’s mainstream Mormon background—they provide unique insights into the challenges faced by Kody, his wives, and their family. Join us as we break down the episode’s key moments and discuss the real-life implications of "doing your duty" in a plural marriage.
