Mormonism is a religion which believes in polygamy. It was practiced by Church leaders during the majority of the 19th century. About 20 to 30 percent of Latter day Saint families participated in polygamy. Today, polygamy is practiced in many fundamentalist Mormon congregations. Although polygamy may be illegal in most places, it is still practiced regularly by many Mormons.
Celestial Marriage
Celestial marriages are legal agreements between two people in Mormonism. This ceremony takes approximately 20 minutes and is crucial for salvation and elevation. Mormons believe that being married with your spouse is a guarantee that your family will be forever part of the Celestial Kingdom.
Joseph Smith received "Revelation on Celestial Marriage" from Joseph Smith in 1843. This was the first time that the doctrine was made official. But the practice was well established long before this date, as Joseph Smith had been experimenting with the idea in years prior. Smith was given the Revelation by his secretary. Smith's secretary dictated the Revelation to Smith. Mrs. Smith was his first wife.
Polygamy
LDS Church leaders are divided on polygamy among Mormons who marry. Mormon leaders once defended the practice, citing the biblical story concerning Abraham and his wives. Abraham had several wives and a boy, and Abraham gave his son away after Isaac was born. However, this act did not change the commandment to kill, and Mormon polygamy was an exception to the eternal principle of monogamy. This practice was stopped by the Mormons who no longer practice sacrifice.
Mormon polygamy is a minor part of the Mormon religion. The practice of polygamy, which is rooted in Joseph Smith’s genealogy, is not practiced by most Latter-day Saints today. But, there are still some Mormon polygamists who continue to practice the practice. Today's Mormons, however, are a global church that has millions of members.
Latter-day Saints
Mormons believe in marriages between two people following Jesus Christ's teachings. Mormons who desire to marry must have a ceremony with God in the temple. Mormons believe that to seal a marriage, both partners must accept the gospel from the afterlife. Either they must both live up their covenants, otherwise they cannot marry.
Latter-day Saints consider marriage the most important thing in their lives. It must be done by the right authority. This union opens the doors to love and peace that will last forever. Latter-day Saints must love each other, follow a Christian service course, and be faithful for their journey to paradise.
Their worthiness
Mormonism stresses the importance marriage and covenants made within the temple. Mormons believe that they are worthy to be married in the LDS temple. The worthiness interview includes sex questions. Some bishops opt not to ask them. Mormons believe the Worthiness Test is only meant to test the marriage for its sake, and not their individual worthiness.
Mormons believe that marriages are a sacred covenant made by Heavenly father. A marriage that is sealed in the temple of Mormonism will be eternal. The Mormons believe that only worthy people can enter the temple, and that marriages sealed in the temple will preserve families for all eternity.
Their chastity
Mormon religion stipulates that both spouses must practice chastity. This means that they must not arouse or effect another person's powerful emotions (e.g., sexual intercourse). They can't touch, kiss, or lie on top their partners. It is possible for men as well as women to go to the temple together and remain chaste.
In Mormonism, sexual acts like adultery and fornication are viewed as grave sins. Mormons believe that these sins lead to serious unhappiness. But, Mormons believe that Heavenly father will forgive them if the couple repents. In order to receive forgiveness, the couple must become members of the Church, which can be a difficult process.
