Polygamous relationships often draw curiosity and skepticism from those outside the community. For self-proclaimed trophy husband Nick Davis and his three wives—April, Jennifer, and Danielle—their unique arrangement is showcased on TLC’s reality series Seeking Sister Wife. They navigate their complex relationship dynamics through various means, including a creatively named space for intimate moments called the “boom boom room.” Here’s an in-depth look at how the Davis family makes their unusual setup work.
The Davis Family’s Unique Arrangement
Nick Davis, who describes himself as a “trophy husband,” lives with his three wives and manages the household while his wives work full-time. Nick’s role in the family is unconventional; he doesn’t hold a job, likening his role to that of a king on a chessboard—static while his queens move around and exert power. This arrangement might seem odd to some, but it’s the foundation of the Davis family’s dynamic.1
The 12ft Bed: A Symbol of Unity
One of the most striking features of the Davis household is their 12ft-wide bed, where all four family members sleep together. April explained, “We officially have a 12ft wide bed,” emphasizing that this sleeping arrangement helps them avoid dividing Nick’s time between different rooms each night.2 This setup contrasts with many polygamous families who might prefer separate sleeping quarters due to practical reasons like finding suitable bed sheets. But still, the trophy husband and all three wives sleep together each night.
The ‘Boom Boom Room’
Despite their shared bed, the Davis family has designated a separate area known as the “boom boom room” for their intimate encounters. This space allows Nick to maintain individual relationships with each of his wives without disrupting their collective sleep arrangement. Not all wives are fond of the name, with Danielle voicing her disapproval, but it remains a functional part of their household¹.
Nick uses a solar system analogy to describe how he balances his attention among his wives: “As far as the sexual attention that each of my wives receives, it’s kind of like a solar system. Each of the planets revolves around the sun in its own orbit, at its own distance. They don’t all receive the same amount of sunlight, but they all receive what they need to remain in their orbit”¹. This analogy helps illustrate how he attempts to meet each wife’s needs individually while maintaining harmony in the family. It seems we’ve upgraded from trophy husband to “star of the show”.
