On an episode of "Sister Wives," Kody Brown opened up about how a birthday gift of Rice Krispie treats helped him remain open to the idea of reconciling. The way the treat was presented by Meri is what made the gift especially meaningful. "She put a bag full of them, one for every year of our marriage," Kody said on a special episode. "She even included the bad years, the ones where I was like we're basically not really married and the expression was sweet and the mood that I was in was the right mood to try and think about reconciliation."

Kody was touched by the gifted Rice Krispie treats. The gesture made him want to keep communication open and try to make things work. It helped plant the seed of forgiveness within him. "I was no longer angry with her for what I had gone through in my life with her," he said on the episode of "Sister Wives." "I was willing to see the error of my ways and then work to determine whether we were good with each other anymore."
