Hello and welcome to Surviving Sister Wives.

I'm Corey.

And I'm Carly, and we're back with week two, not to be confused with chapter one,

which is what we'll be covering today, of Robbins' number one New York Times bestseller

becoming sister wives.

This is part of the matrimony part of the book.

This is going to be covering Mary and Cody's relationship, the soulmate, deep,

affectionate love that we all have heard about for years on end at this point.

I'm really enjoying this so far. Just a light beach read for a summer book club.

That's really what it comes down to,

skimming through, but we're finding some nuggets here, here and there, occasionally, as part of the

journey. I was ready to rip this chapter apart because, number one, I knew a lot of what was

going to be said. Cody has since changed his mind about in recent years. But also,

the first time you read this book, I remember thinking this chapter was really pathetic.

Pathetic. I feel bad saying that, but there's just no other appropriate word to describe

Mary's portions of this chapter. Thanks for noticing me.

Which that is the general basis of Mary and Cody's relationship.

That was how it all started.

In church.

Don't leave that part out.
