On top of that, all of it was documented on camera for reality TV.
This wasn’t their first termination though.
In 2014, the couple legally divorced so Kody could marry his fourth wife and legally adopt her children.
Meri and Kody said they remained in a spiritual marriage despite the papers saying otherwise.
The decision to dissolve the spiritual commitment did not come quickly.
There were attempts to reconcile, including an especially sentimental and sweet in a literal and metaphorical sense one.
The way the treat was presented by Meri is what made the gift especially meaningful.
Kody was touched by the gifted Rice Krispie treats.
The gesture made him want to keep communication open and attempt to make things work.
It helped plant the seed of forgiveness within him.
A challenging marriage
Kody and Meri’s marriage truly was a complicated one.
The two got married when they were young: Meri was 19 and Kody was 21.
They’d met at church and they were naturally drawn to one another, so they quickly got engaged.
It wasn’t long into their marriage, however, before they ran into fertility issues.
Meri was unable to conceive, which created a strain on the relationship that never fully left.
Fast forward to 2014 and Meri was found to be in an emotional affair.
“The relationships aren’t good.
It’s that simple,” Kody said during the episode special.
