Christine Brown isn’t tempted to give up her plural marriage for a monogamous relationship.

"I’ve never been a monogamous [person], never," the "Sister Wives" star recently told Us Weekly. "It's so out there and beyond my understanding to have a guy around every night. I felt, like, it would cramp my style a lot because I’ve never had that as soon as Kody and I married. I was the third wife. And so, I really liked the independence that I have and I love the freedom that I have.

"I love that I can just have those evenings where I’m wearing the grossest, most comfortable clothes ever and I’m just, you know, curled up on the couch with the girls, eating popcorn and playing games or something," the 48-year-old shared.

According to Brown, one perk of being in a plural marriage is that your husband isn’t always around.

Spoiler:

Kody Brown and his 4 wives have a combined total of 18 children


"That’s the deal," the reality TV star told the outlet. "I don’t have a guy around all the time. I have so much freedom. If I’m, like... 'We’ve got to go to Sedona for the day' [with the girls], we just go to Sedona for the day... We go on these beautiful drives and we have adventures. Oh my gosh, there would always be someone else I’d have to talk to about it [in a more traditional relationship]."

Brown admitted that monogamous relationships just seem "like a lot of work." However, she said plural marriages have their own set of challenges.

"I do have to do repairs myself," she said. "Like, if a fridge breaks down, I have to call the appliance guy. But I think after a while, you just get used to it."

According to the outlet, Brown entered a spiritual union with Kody Brown, 52, in 1994. They are parents to Aspyn, 26, Mykelti, 24, Paedon, 22, Ysabel, 18, Gwendlyn, 19, and Truely, 10.

"Sister Wives" has been airing on TLC since 2010 and recently launched its 15th season.

Kody’s first and only legally recognized marriage was in 1990 to Meri, The New York Times previously reported. The pair originally met in 1989 through mutual friends and tied the knot six months later when she was 19 and he 22. Five years later, they welcomed their daughter Mariah. The newspaper shared that Kody’s second wife Janelle came in 1993, followed by Brown a year later.

...I never understand, why have ‘marriages’...why not just have the lifestyle that they want ...why do they have to be wives...?...a marriage is surely a union of two people, not multiple people...

Each to their own on the subject of polyamory... but you have to start asking questions when there's only one man in the equation, no? Polyamory is supposed to be about everyone involved being free to have multiple partners, not one bloke with a harem. You could argue that maybe that's what they want but I'd bet my bottom dollar that this fella would lose his **** if one of them asked if she could shag the gardener.

Exactly.

Also this bit :

Why would you not be able to do that if you lived with your husband/partner? It's an odd sort of an idea that if you live with your husband you need to be in full make up and dressed up while watching TV.

...I just don’t see how it applies to marriage...it’s a lifestyle, that’s fine but it isn’t a marriage union...

So that clearly didn't work as she's just with one of them now

"I love that I can just have those evenings where I’m wearing the grossest, most comfortable clothes ever and I’m just, you know, curled up on the couch with the girls, eating popcorn and playing games or something,"

Not quite right in the head this one. He's fooled her into believing a monogamous relationship requires her to wear uncomfortable clothes, dolled up every night, with no friends, no games and no nice food. Hmmm.

I don't think Harem situations can ever be anything but abusive in nature.
