Mormonism believes in polygamy. 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. Although polygamy is illegal in most jurisdictions it is still practiced many Mormons.
Celestial marriage
A celestial marriage in Mormonism is a legal agreement between two people. This ceremony lasts about 20 minutes and is considered essential for salvation and exaltation. Mormons believe that marriage to your spouse guarantees that your family will always live in the Celestial kingdom.
Joseph Smith was the first to officially declare the doctrine when he received the "Revelation on Celestial Marriage" in 1843. Although the practice was established in 1843 by Joseph Smith, it had been around for years. Smith was given the Revelation through his secretary. Smith's secretary dictated the Revelation to Smith. Mrs. Smith was his first wife.
Polygamy
Polygamy among marriage Mormons is a controversial subject in the LDS Church. Mormon leaders once justified the practice using the biblical story of Abraham with his wives. Abraham had several wives and a boy, and Abraham gave his son away after Isaac was born. This act did not change God's commandment to kill. Mormon polygamy is an exception to the eternal rule of monogamy. The practice was later discontinued because the Mormons ceased to practice sacrifice.
Mormon polygamy was only a small part of the Mormon religion. Polygamy is a practice rooted in Joseph Smith's genealogy, and most Latter-day Saints do not practice it 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 sealing marriages requires both spouses to accept the gospel after death. Both must live up to their covenants or they can't be married.
Latter-day Saints view marriage as the most important thing. It must only be done by the right authority. This union opens the doors to love and peace that will last forever. 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
Mormon Church stresses the importance of marriages and covenants made in temples. Mormons believe that if they are worthy, they will be given an LDS temple marriage. It is controversial to ask sex questions during the worthiness interview. Some bishops do not ask them. Mormons believe that the test of worthiness is only for the sake and marriage, not for individual worth.
Mormons believe that marriage was a sacred covenant made in Heavenly Father's name. A marriage that is sealed in a temple will last forever according to the Mormon faith. 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 requires that both men and women practice chastity in the marriage. This means they can't provoke or affect other people's powerful emotions such as those from 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.
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.

How To
How to date someone older than you
When dating someone older than you, there are many things to consider. Age isn’t just a number. Experience, wisdom and maturity are all important. These tips can help you avoid making common mistakes when you are looking for love.
Experience doesn't necessarily equal age. However, having lived longer means you have more opportunities to learn new skills, develop your identity and make smart decisions. It also opens up a whole new set of experiences that may have been closed off if you were still growing up.
As you age, you will become wiser and maturer, not only in your personality, but also in the way you think, feel, and act. That's because age has allowed you to reflect on what worked and didn't work when you were young, and it helps you use those lessons to understand yourself better.
If you've decided that you want to date someone older than yourself, here are some ways to do so successfully.
Be Open-Minded
It is important to remember that each person is unique, and no two people are the same. So while you might really like someone older than you, he or she might not. That shouldn't stop you trying! You have something to offer everyone, regardless of their age.
Ask questions!
Do not assume that someone older than you knows everything. Ask them questions, and listen to their answers. This allows you to discover their motives, which will make it easier for you to develop relationships built on mutual respect.
Have fun
While it is important to not forget that your partner is older than you, it's also important not to treat them differently than any other person. Take the time to enjoy the relationship together and not fret about being the "younger” partner.
Learn from each other
As an older person, the best thing you can to do is to help others. Whether through mentoring, volunteering, teaching or simply sharing advice, you can gain knowledge and experience from someone who has had years to live and grow. And learning from someone else is much less intimidating than asking someone for advice directly.
