A healthy and prosperous life

[Talab1234]

1. They are doing this so the kids can have a healthy and prosperous life.

2. They are doing this so the kids can have a healthy and a prosperous life.

Are both sentences grammatically correct? In the TV show I was watching, they said the “a” before prosperous is necessary for it to be correct.

The correct sentence is 1. Sentence 2 is wrong.

Which TV show was it?

While I see no need to repeat the article in that sentence, I don't consider the second version wrong.
