Facing Public Scrutiny and Personal Insecurities

Furthermore, Kody and Robyn's reluctance to embrace monogamy and the prospect of loneliness have played a significant role in their decision to stay together. Their shared history of stability within a plural marriage, coupled with the fear of navigating life without a significant other, has created an emotional and psychological barrier to parting ways.

Religious and Financial Commitments
Robyn's strong adherence to traditional values and religious beliefs has reinforced her commitment to her marriage with Kody. Her sense of duty and responsibility as a wife, coupled with Kody's role as the family provider, have created a mutual understanding and bond that transcends their present challenges.

Additionally, Robyn's financial dependence on Kody has contributed to the stability of their relationship. With her involvement in the now inactive My Sisterwife's Closet and the absence of an independent career, Robyn's reliance on Kody for financial support has further solidified their union.
