TLC's Sister Wives follows Christine, Meri, Janelle, and Robyn and their shared husband, Kody Brown. Christine is one of the most interesting stars of the show and there's plenty you need to know about her that isn't shown on the reality series. Here's the truth about Christine from Sister Wives.

When you learn that a couple is in a polygamous relationship, you may wonder how it happened. While it may seem like an usual arrangement to most people, it wasn't for Christine. The Sister Wives star actually grew up in a polygamist family, so entering into a plural marriage herself was a natural choice for her. That's not to say she didn't have concerns, though.

Even though more and more people are accepting of the Brown family and their polygamist lifestyle, that doesn't mean the law accepts it. Because polygamy is illegal in the majority of states, Kody Brown is only legally married to one of his wives, Robyn. He was once married to Meri but divorced her to adopt Robyn's children. Kody is "spiritually" married to his other wives, Janelle, Christine, and Meri. Still, this union could get them in trouble.

Even though the Browns' idea of a spiritual marriage may mean Kody isn't legally tied to them, Christine's spiritual marriage to Kody could still land her in some hot water.
