Seeking Sister Wife star Garrick Merrifield is like fellow polygamist Kody Brown from Sister Wives. The

two come from different worlds but have plenty in common.

Each man had his own reasons for practicing polygamy and becoming a reality TV star. What they share

is the rationale that they’re good husbands. They think so even though they’re often inconsiderate partners.

Garrick convinced his wife Dannielle Merrifield that God wanted her to divorce him so that he could marry other women. The reality star’s antics can be creepy. He lures women in without telling them he’s into polygamy. He starts by getting them into monogamous relationships.

He’s targeted women who don’t speak English and live outside the United States. Garrick’s ulterior motives and predatory behavior make him different from Kody, who stayed with his four wives and 18 children. Kody comes from a gun culture and is anti-government, but he’s all about his family and his children.

Kody & Garrick Are Narcissists
They Are Full Of Themselves

Kody and Garrick display narcissistic tendencies that are often hidden behind religion. Kody is known for his macho ways. He’s argued that without him, his spouses and kids wouldn’t have good lives.

Kody has come up with lots of radical ideas, choosing who to keep out of his life. At times, Kody apparently wanted to be worshiped, and it’s possible that he has a god complex.

Garrick has also presented the same narcissistic traits, leaving many viewers confused about whether he really cares about Dannielle and her needs.

Kody & Garrick Are Master Manipulators

Use Manipulation On Their Wives

Garrick is a master manipulator. In one of the episodes of Seeking Sister Wife season 5, Garrick justified his desire to get into polygamy, linking it to the scriptures. He indicated it was in scripture even though people thought it was wrong and evil.

Furthermore, Garrick noted they searched for the scriptures for years and felt that polygamy reflected Jesus and his church. Garrick explained that, “He fills you with the holy ghost” was a sexual term that depicted intimacy with a lot of people.

It is ridiculous that he thought of it this way. However, this moves from his first description when the viewers are introduced to the Seeking Sister Wife reality star. Initially, Garrick noted he’d searched the Holy book and noticed there were good people in the Bible who practiced polygamy.

He has no actual doctrine to prove his claims and does not explain why it matters in his religion, showing it is just an excuse to step out of his marriage.
