Barry Plath First Wife: Who Was He Married To Before Kim?

The patriarch of the Plath family, Barry Plath does not seem to have been married before Kim. Though dissension between the marital life of the Plath parents is on the rise and maybe on the verge of a divorce, it can be confirmed that both of them were previously unmarried.

In a shocking turn of events, Kim Plath revealed that she wants to reconsider her marriage with Barry. She shared her dissatisfaction with the relationship with her husband and wants to do what is right for her.

Barry and Kim first met at a church in 1997. They initially became casual friends and though Kim did not see anything happening between them two at first, once Barry talked to her about going further with the relationship, she became serious about the relationship. Kim recalls that it was the voice of God that told her that Barry is the one for her.
