Mormonism is a religion which believes in polygamy. In the early 1900s, church leaders and 20-30 percent of Latter day Saint families practiced polygamy. It is still practiced today by various fundamentalist Mormon denominations. Although polygamy is illegal in most jurisdictions it is still practiced many Mormons.
Celestial Marriage
A celestial wedding is a legal contract between two persons in Mormonism. The ceremony takes about 20 minutes and it is essential for salvation or exaltation. 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. Smith's secretary dictated the Revelation to him. However, Mrs. Smith, who was his first wife, did not consent to polygamy and did not support it publicly.
Polygamy
The LDS Church is not happy with polygamy among Mormon marriage Mormons. 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 was a very small part of the Mormon faith. Polygamy is a practice rooted in Joseph Smith's genealogy, and most Latter-day Saints do not practice it today. Some Mormon polygamists still practice it, and the Mormon church today has millions of members.
Latter-day Saints
Mormons believe marriages are between two people who adhere to the teachings Jesus Christ. 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 regard marriage as the most important aspect of their lives. However, it must be carried out by the right authority. This union is the key to eternal love and peace at the top. 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 emphasizes the importance and significance of marriage and covenants made at the temple. Mormons believe that marriage will be granted to those who are worthy if they meet the requirements. It is controversial to ask sex questions during the worthiness interview. Some bishops don't 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 marriage was a sacred covenant made in Heavenly Father's name. A marriage that is sealed in the temple of Mormonism will be eternal. Mormons believe that only people who are worthy can enter the temple. Additionally, marriages sealed in temples will ensure that families last forever.
Their chastity
Mormon religion stipulates that both spouses must practice chastity. This means that they cannot arouse or affect another person's powerful emotions, such as those caused by sexual intercourse. They can also not kiss, touch or lie on top if their partners are present. Nevertheless, it is not impossible for women and men to make out in the temple and still remain chaste.
Mormonism regards adultery and fornication as grave sins. These sins are considered serious and cause unhappiness in Mormonism. However, they believe that if they repent, Heavenly Father will forgive them. For forgiveness, the couple must first become members of The Church. This can sometimes be difficult.
