Did Garrick Merrifield Groom Innocent, Underage Dannielle?

There is a five-year age difference between Dannielle and Garrick Merrifield which is not a big deal now that she is in her mid-thirties and he is almost 41. However, when they first met, it was a different story. She was just a teenager and he was in his early twenties. When they did tie the knot, Dannielle was no longer a minor so it was not a big deal. They went on to have two sons and now they are seeking a sister wife and fans have noticed one thing. The newest potential sister wife, Nathalia, is in her early twenties as opposed to Roberta who was in her early thirties.

Now, viewers of the show are already repulsed by Garrick and his lack of respect for women, mainly his wife. They feel that he does not listen to her concerns or care about her feelings. Plus, he uses God as an excuse to cheat. Now, after all of their years of marriage, a Reddit thread has been started to discuss the Merrifield’s ages when they met:

  • He’s 5 years older than her so she was 18, he was 23? Like he was for sure just hanging around the youth group at church waiting for her to turn 18 right?? 🤮🤮


Followers seem repulsed by how young Dannielle was when he started to court her, essentially grooming her to be what he wanted.

  • She actually met him at 17, he was dating her best friend, then I guess they started liking each other. Everyone says I bet her friend must have thought, wow I dodged a bullet.
  • So he groomed her
  • He began working on her while she was a minor and they lied about it, and she’s still lying for him.

Disengaged & Does Not Care
