It’s his debut season but Seeking Sister Wife fans have already grown to loathe Garrick Merrifield. Along with his wife Dannielle, the two entered into polygamy two years ago. He felt a call from God and believed finding a second wife would bring him closer to Christ. Dannielle wasn’t thrilled with Garrick’s proposal to bring in another wife so she prayed on it. Realizing her kids would have another mother figure made the decision so much easier. Thus, they went on a polygamist dating site and met Roberta from Brazil. His relationship with her has left many questioning what kind of man Garrick really is.
