The Telegraph has a revealing story about a Mormon family where the two wives are sisters. Katie, the elder, was the first to marry Travis. Years later her sister Priscilla got an unofficial wedding ceremony and her own bedroom that Travis would alternate between:
“We’d always wondered whether polygamy could work for us, because I’d loved having so many brothers and sisters when I was young and wanted the same for my kids,” Katie explained.

“Priscilla’s younger than me and I was worried he’d end up loving her more but I told myself it was worth the risk to have the lifestyle I wanted. I wanted to challenge myself to live with another wife so I could grow as a person, and become stronger, more understanding and caring,” Katie admitted
