Sister Wives star Janelle Brown asked her spouses a serious question and the responses indicate what each expects from plural marriage. In a clip released ahead of the new season, the Sister Wives ladies offer some very different reasons as to what the Principle means to them. The Principle is basically the religious term coined for their type of polygamy lifestyle, which is religiously based.

Oddly enough, Janelle Brown gets a mixed bag of answers from the ladies. Christine Brown’s outlook stayed the same from the day she married Kody Brown, kind of an old-age plan. While the others seemed to grow their outlook along the way.

After listening to the Sister Wives patriarch through the years, you get a good idea where he’s coming from. Kody claims to live the Principle by creating a huge family through love. The love of a man and his multiple wives creates a slew of kids.

This family stays together through this life and beyond, through eternity. This is how Kody describes it in a nutshell on the Sister Wives show.

But it seems each of the Sister Wives women veers off a bit from Kody’s explanation. Two of the more interesting takes come from Christine and Robyn Brown.
