Re: Sister Wives
Watched. Probably one of the most interesting situations I've ever seen relationship wise. It's a lifestyle I can never imagine living myself but it is for some people. I think it's going to be an interesting season with bringing a new wife in, and family. Not sure if I'll remember to watch every week but I'm gonna try.

Taking Control:Updated 1/7
I watched it and really liked it. I have so many questions about it though! Like how they do things legally? I think he legally married the 1st wife, Meri, and then just "married" the other two?
Also, I was doing laundry so maybe I missed them answering this but, does any one know why they don't wear wedding rings? I noticed none of them wear one.
I'm assuming they live in Utah just by seeing the scenery and such around when he was driving to and from work. I *believe* that polygamy is still legal in Utah, but not sure about that. Sounds like it's somewhat common in their area since they all go to a polygamist school... Which was one of my questions of how they explained it to their peers. But it looks like they don't really have to for now.
I didn't hear them say anything about the rings... Maybe that'll be answered when he marries his fourth wife?

I just looked some stuff up. It does take place in Utah. In Utah there are 40,000 people who practice polygamy which is 2% of the population. The reason it's legal and hard to prosecute is because marriage liscenses are obtained for the first marriage and the marriages after are private ceremonies. The plural wives are seen as single mothers in the public eye. So maybe that's where the ring thing comes from.
I think what I wouldn't be able to handle is the jealousy much like Meri. I don't think I could handle being in the same house of two other women that my husband was having sex with and knowing it was going on ya know? They're a lovely family, just different and nothing wrong with that. I think its one of those things you won't understand unless you practice the same religion.
