Mormonism, a religion that believes polygamy, is one example of a faith called Mormonism. It was practiced by Church leaders during the majority of the 19th century. About 20 to 30 percent of Latter day Saint families participated in polygamy. This practice is continued today in several fundamentalist Mormon churches. Although polygamy in most jurisdictions is illegal, many Mormons continue to practice it.
Celestial marriage
A celestial marriage in Mormonism is a legal agreement between two people. This ceremony is about 20 minutes long and is vital for salvation and exaltation. Mormons believe that being married with your spouse is a guarantee that your family will be forever part of the Celestial Kingdom.
Joseph Smith received the "Revelation on Celestial Marriage" on 1843. Although the practice was established in 1843 by Joseph Smith, it had been around for years. Smith's secretary dictated the Revelation to him. Smith's secretary dictated the Revelation to Smith. Mrs. Smith was his first wife.
Polygamy
LDS Church leaders are divided on polygamy among Mormons who marry. Mormon leaders used to defend the practice by citing Abraham's biblical story and his wives. Abraham had several wives and a son, and after Isaac was born, Abraham sacrificed his son. This did not alter the commandment to kill. Mormon polygamy was an exception from the eternal principle monogamy. The Mormons stopped offering sacrifice and the practice was 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. 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 that marriages can only be between two people who are following the teachings Jesus Christ. Mormons who desire to marry must have a ceremony with God in the temple. Mormons also believe that the sealing of a marriage requires that both parties accept the gospel in the afterlife. They must also both live up to their covenants, or they cannot 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 doorway to eternal love, peace and security in heaven. 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 they are worthy to be married in the LDS temple. It is controversial to ask sex questions during the worthiness interview. Some bishops do not ask them. Mormons believe the worthiness test is a test of marital worthiness, not an assessment of individual worthiness.
Mormons believe marriage to be a sacred covenant that Heavenly Father has made. A marriage that is sealed in a temple will last forever according to the 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
In Mormon religion, women and men are required to practice chastity in 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 men and women to get in bed together at the temple while remaining chaste.
In Mormonism, sexual acts like adultery and fornication are viewed as grave sins. Mormons believe that such sins can cause severe unhappiness. But they believe that Heavenly Father forgives them if they repent. For forgiveness, the couple must first become members of The Church. This can sometimes be difficult.
