A delve into professor William Jankowiak and Allen's study, The Balance of Duty and Desire in an American Polygamous Community .  Professor Jankowiak hosted the UNLV Panel the Browns attended on Sister Wives.  I will compare some of the findings with the dynamics of the Brown family in my opinion only, of course.  There are tidbits about the faith ideals, spiritual marriage ceremony, and many real life examples from the FLDS community members at Angel Park.  
Here is a link to the article/study that is available in PDF format:
