There are several signs indicating that Kody and Robyn entered a spiritual marriage, which quickly became stronger than any of Kody's other relationships. In 2014, Kody divorced his legal wife, Meri Brown, and married his favorite wife, Robyn. He also legally adopted Robyn's children from a previous marriage, becoming their father. Over time, Kody became a great husband to Robyn while losing touch with his other wives and spending less time with them.

In 2021, Kody's third wife, Christine, made the bold decision to leave him behind. She did so to focus on herself and build a better future with someone who cared for her. A year later, Kody's second wife, Janelle, followed Christine's lead. She ended her relationship with Kody and moved to North Carolina to pursue her dream of becoming a farm owner. In 2023, Kody's first wife, Meri, also chose to distance herself from the negativity. She ended her relationship with Kody and moved to Utah to focus on her business, Lizzie's Heritage Inn.
