Mormonism, a religion that believes polygamy, is one example of a faith called Mormonism. During most of the 19th century, Church leaders practiced polygamy and between 20 and 30 percent of Latter-day Saint families engaged 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
Celestial marriage is a legally binding agreement between two individuals in Mormonism. This ceremony lasts about 20 minutes and is considered essential for salvation and exaltation. Mormons believe marriage guarantees your family eternal life in the Celestial Land.
Joseph Smith was the first to officially declare the doctrine when he received the "Revelation on Celestial Marriage" in 1843. However, the practice was well established before that time, because Joseph Smith had begun experimenting with it in the years prior to 1843. Smith's secretary dictated the Revelation to him. Smith's first wife, however, refused to consent to polygamy.
Polygamy
LDS Church leaders are divided on polygamy among Mormons who marry. The practice was once defended by Mormon leaders by citing the biblical story of Abraham and 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. This practice was stopped by the Mormons who no longer practice sacrifice.
Mormon polygamy is a minor 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. However, polygamists in Mormonism continue to practice it today, as the Mormon Church has many millions of members.
Latter-day Saints
Mormons believe in marriages between people who follow Jesus Christ's teachings. Mormons who are interested in marrying must go through a ritual that involves God, at the temple. Mormons believe that sealing marriages requires both spouses to accept the gospel after death. Or they will not be able to 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 doorway to eternal love, peace and security in heaven. Latter-day Saints must love their fellow Latter-day Saints, remain faithful throughout their lives, as well as follow a Christian-based service path.
Their value
Mormonism places emphasis on marriage and covenants made inside the temple. Mormons believe, if they prove worthy, they will be granted a LDS temple marriage. The sex questions in the worthiness interview are controversial. Some bishops choose not to ask them. Mormons believe the worthiness test is a test of marital worthiness, not an assessment of individual worthiness.
Mormons believe that marriage is a sacred covenant made by Heavenly Father. In the Mormon faith, a marriage sealed in the temple will last forever. 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 insists that both husbands and wives practice chastity during 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.
Mormonism considers adultery and fornication grave sins. Mormons believe that these sins cause serious unhappiness. 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.
