Meri, Christine, and Robyn Brown (the other three sister wives) were all raised within polygamist cultures. Hence, when it came time to settle down into wedded bliss, the transition into plural marriage was nothing new for these women. On the other hand, Kody Brown's second wife, Janelle, was not raised in a polygamous family. She was raised in the Mormon faith, a denomination that does not support plural marriage. 

As a young, already wed adult, Janelle became intrigued by the unconventional polygamous lifestyle, which was introduced to her by Meri and Kody Brown. Before becoming a Brown, Janelle had been wed to Meri's brother, and it was during this formative time that she discovered perhaps life had a different calling for this smart and vibrant lady. Despite being brought up in a more conventional family, Janelle chose to become a second wife and sister wife. 

Throughout their years together, Janelle and Kody have forged a friendship and bond that has thus far stood the test of time. They seem to have much in common, and one of those commonalities is their decision to enter plural marriage later on in life. Kody's father entered polygamy later in life, and Kody grappled with whether or not that life was truly meant for him. Both Kody and Janelle share the experience of growing up in a nuclear family and later entering a plural union.
