After Christine Brown joined the family, the gang entered into a period of (relative) stability. In "Becoming Sister Wives," Kody Brown wrote that his first two wives, Meri Brown and Janelle Brown, "were miserable with each other" and he "didn't know how to negotiate a truce between them." The tension at home made him "apprehensive" about bringing Christine into the family, but ultimately her "kindness and positive nature brokered a peace in [the] household."
Once the interpersonal relationships were hammered out, the Browns all moved into one big house together in Lehi, Utah (fans will recognize the home from Season 1 on "Sister Wives") and focused on growing their family. And grow the family they most certainly did: As of 2022, Kody is the father to 18 children.
For 16 years, Kody, Christine, Meri, and Janelle lived in relative harmony, having, as Janelle put it in an early episode, "learned each other's quirks." Unfortunately, the peace didn't last forever.
