Sister Wives is an American reality television series broadcast on TLC that began airing in 2010. The show documents the life of a polygamist family, which includes patriarch Kody Brown, his four wives, and their 18 children. The family began the series living in Lehi, Utah, but has since moved to Las Vegas, Nevada in 2011.
Brown and his wives have said they participated with the show to make the public more aware of polygamist families and to combat societal prejudices. Brown believes his polygamist arrangement is legal because he is legally married only to one woman, and the other marriages are spiritual unions. The series led to the Brown family being investigated for possible prosecution.
The show follows the lives of advertising salesman Kody Brown, his wives Meri, Janelle, Christine, and Robyn, and their 18 children. In the first season the show televised Brown's courting and marriage of his fourth wife, Robyn Sullivan, in 2010. Sullivan was the first new wife to enter the family in 16 years.
A wife is a female partner in a continuing marital relationship. A wife may also be referred to as a spouse, which is a gender-neutral term. The term continues to be applied to a woman who has separated from her partner and ceases to be applied to such a woman only when her marriage has come to an end following a legally recognized divorce or the death of her spouse. On the death of her partner, a wife is referred to as a widow, but not after she is divorced from her partner.
The rights and obligations of the wife in relation to her partner and her status in the community and in law varies between cultures and has varied over time.
The word is of Germanic origin, from Proto-Germanic *wībam, "woman". In Middle English it had the form wif, and in Old English wīf, "woman or wife". It is related to Modern German Weib (woman, female), and Danish viv (wife, usually poetic) and may derive ultimately from the Indo-European root ghwībh- "shame; pudenda" (cf. Tocharian B kwīpe and Tocharian A kip, each meaning "female pudenda", with clear sexual overtones) The original meaning of the phrase "wife" as simply "woman", unconnected with marriage or a husband/wife, is preserved in words such as "midwife" and "fishwife".
A sister is the female offspring of one's parent.
The term sister comes from Old Norse systir which itself derives from Proto-Germanic *swestēr, both of whom have the same meaning, i.e. sister. Some studies have found that sisters display more traits indicating jealousy around their siblings than their male counterparts, brothers. In some cultures, sisters are afforded a role of being under the protection by male siblings, especially older brothers from issues ranging from bullies or sexual advances by womanizers.
Various studies have shown that an older sister is likely to give a varied gender role to their younger siblings as well as being more likely to develop a close bond with their younger siblings. Older sisters are more likely to play with their younger siblings. Younger siblings display a more needy behavior when in close proximity to their older sister and are more likely to be tolerant of an older sisters bad behavior. Boys with only an older sister are more likely to display stereotypically male behavior, and such masculine boys increased their masculine behavior with the more sisters they have. The reverse is true for young boys with several sisters, as they tend to be feminine, however they outgrow this by the time they approach pubescence. Boys with older sisters were less likely to be delinquent or have Emotional and behavioral disorders. A younger sister is less likely to be scolded by older siblings than a younger brother. The most common recreational activity between older brother/younger sister pairs was art drawing. Some studies also found a correlation between having an older sister and constructive discussions about safe sexual practises.
TLC is an initialism that normally refers to the phrase "tender loving care", however is also used for "time, love and care".
TLC may also refer to:
A family is a domestic or social group.

Kody Brown came into our lives when he sought out to normalize his polygamous lifestyle or as he likes to call it “plural marriage.” After the hit HBO show Big Love, it seemed like audiences were intrigued by this idea of marriage. The Sister Wives show peaked interests even more, giving a real insight (well, as “real” as reality television can be) to the life and style of polygamist families. Audiences seemed divided — you either began to understand why they would choose this lifestyle or you completely were disgusted by it. Love or hate, the world began to watch, captivated by it all. While some consider Kody Brown some sort of male hero, others feel he’s a narcissistic man up to his neck in female drama. While we have watched much of the story unfold, here’s some things you may not have...

So one thing led to another
You were calling her a lover
Her brothers her brother
Yeah if you want me to do it, I
Guess that I'll do it, but
I'm telling you
One wrong move and yeah we're through
Chorus x 2
Hey there sister wife
Get the hell out it's my night
You don't know the way to his heart
Like I do
Damn man kick out the likeness
The view is the prophet
I don't think you got this
Yeah holy as our father
I'd rather not bother, I
And I'm telling you
One wrong move and we're through
Chorus x 2
Hey there sister wife
Get the hell out it's my night
You don't know the way to his heart
Like I do
I'm stuck with two
I'm stuck with you
I'm stuck with two

Hey there sister wife
Get the hell out it's my night
You don't know the way to his heart
