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. It is still practiced today by various fundamentalist Mormon denominations. While polygamy is against the law in most jurisdictions, it is still practiced by many Mormons.
Celestial marriage
A celestial marriage in Mormonism is a legal agreement between two people. This ceremony lasts approximately 20 minutes, and is necessary for salvation. Mormons believe that being married to your spouse ensures that your family will live forever in the Celestial Kingdom.
This doctrine was officially established in 1843 when Joseph Smith received the "Revelation on Celestial Marriage". But the practice was well established long before this date, as Joseph Smith had been experimenting with the idea in years prior. The Revelation was dictated to Smith by his secretary. Smith's first wife, however, refused to consent to polygamy.
Polygamy
LDS Church polygamy is controversial because it affects marriage Mormons. Mormon leaders once justified the practice using the biblical story of Abraham with his wives. Abraham had several women and a son. Abraham also sacrificed his son after Isaac was conceived. However, the commandment not to kill was not changed by this act. Mormon polygamy was an exception for the eternal principle that monogamy. Because the Mormons stopped practicing sacrifice, the practice was eventually discontinued.
Mormon polygamy was only a small part of the Mormon religion. It is a tradition that Joseph Smith inherited, but most Latter-day Saints don't practice polygamy today. Some Mormon polygamists still practice it, and the Mormon church today has millions of members.
Latter-day Saints
Mormons believe in marriages between two people who follow the teachings of Jesus Christ. Mormons who wish to marry must go through a ceremony that involves God, in the temple. Mormons believe that sealing a marriage requires both the bride and the groom to accept the gospel in heaven. Otherwise, they can't marry.
Marriage is the most important thing in Latter-day Saints' lives, and it must be performed by the right authority. This union will lead to peace in the heavens and eternal love. 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, if they prove worthy, they will be granted a LDS temple marriage. There are sex questions that must be asked during the worthiness interview. Some bishops won't allow them to be asked. 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 demands that men and women both practice chastity when they marry. This means they can't provoke or affect other people's powerful emotions such as those from sexual intercourse. They also cannot kiss, touch, or lie on top of their partners. It is possible for both men and women to kiss, touch and lie on top of their partners in the temple.
Mormonism views adultery, fornication and other sexual acts as grave sins. Mormons believe that these sins cause serious unhappiness. However, they believe that if they repent, Heavenly Father will forgive them. In order to receive forgiveness, the couple must become members of the Church, which can be a difficult process.

How To
How to organize a memorable first date
The best way to find a first date is to focus on your interests and talk about what you like. It is important to find something you share in common. You don't need to know much about the person before you ask. You should also choose a place where they feel comfortable. This could be a museum, restaurant, or cinema.
Talking about yourself can help you get a better understanding of your partner's likes and dislikes. You can, for instance, suggest going to a football stadium with your friend if you both love sports. If she/he likes to read books, you could visit a library.
Avoid discussing religion, politics, or sensitive topics. Do not discuss personal issues.
It is best to keep the conversation small throughout the meal. This will allow you to learn more about him/her and build up a rapport.
After dinner, you have the option to go for a walk or visit coffee shops. When you get home, send a thank you text to your loved one for taking the time to visit you.
