Mormonism holds that polygamy is a part of Mormonism. The practice of polygamy was prevalent in the Church during most of the 19th-century. Between 20 and 30% of Latter Day Saint families were involved in it. Today, polygamy is practiced in many fundamentalist Mormon congregations. While polygamy is against the law in most jurisdictions, it is still practiced by many Mormons.
Celestial Marriage
A celestial wedding is a legal contract between two persons in Mormonism. This ceremony is about 20 minutes long and is vital for salvation and exaltation. Mormons believe that marriage to your spouse guarantees that your family will always live in 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. However, the practice was well established before that time, because Joseph Smith had begun experimenting with it in the years prior to 1843. Smith was given the Revelation by his secretary. Smith's first wife, however, refused to consent to polygamy.
Polygamy
Polygamy among marriage Mormons is a controversial subject in the LDS Church. The practice was once defended by Mormon leaders by citing the biblical story of Abraham and his wives. Abraham had many wives, a son, and Abraham killed his son 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. Later, this practice was halted by Mormons who stopped practicing sacrifice.
Mormon polygamy is a minor part of the Mormon religion. It is a tradition that Joseph Smith inherited, but most Latter-day Saints don't practice polygamy today. However, there are some Mormon polygamists that continue to practice this practice. The Mormon church has millions of members today.
Latter-day Saints
Mormons believe in marriages between two people following Jesus Christ's teachings. Mormons who wish to marry must go through a ceremony that involves God, in the temple. Mormons believe that the sealing ceremony of a marriage must involve both the spouses accepting the gospel in the afterlife. Both must live up to their covenants or they can't be married.
Latter-day Saints consider marriage the most important thing in their lives. It must be done by the right authority. This union is the gateway to eternal love and peace in mansions on high. Latter-day Saints need to love one another, follow a Christian path, and be faithful all their lives in order to make it to heaven.
Their worthiness
Mormonism places emphasis on marriage and covenants made inside the temple. Mormons believe that they are worthy to be married in the LDS temple. The sex questions in the worthiness interview are controversial. Some bishops opt not to ask them. Mormons believe that the valueiness test is not for individuals but for marriage.
Mormons believe that marriage was a sacred covenant made in Heavenly Father's name. A marriage sealed in the Temple will last forever in Mormon faith. 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 requires that both men and women practice chastity in the marriage. They cannot cause or influence another person's strong emotions, such sexual intercourse. They can also not kiss, touch or lie on top if their partners are present. It is possible for both men and women to kiss, touch and lie on top of their partners in the temple.
Mormonism regards adultery and fornication as grave sins. Mormons believe these sins can lead to severe unhappiness. They believe that Heavenly Father will forgive them if they repent. For forgiveness, the couple must first become members of The Church. This can sometimes be difficult.
