Meri Brown appears to have taken her split from Kody Brown more seriously than the other former wives. Recent discussions on the TLC series highlight differing views on family roles and monogamy.
Meri Brown focused on Kody Brown not only as a father to their child but also as a husband during their time together. Other wives including Janelle Brown and Christine Brown described their connections more in terms of friendship or shared parenting when the children were younger.
