Celestial Plural Marriage

Post by Enoch »

Celestial Plural Marriage
I think these relationships could/might work if:

1. Adults Chose it for themselves - no manipulative tactics, no ones agency curtailed

2. Those involved care about each other

3. There was a balance | so all husbands/wives/children's emotional, physical, social, mental etc needs were met

4. Limit in number of participants | in this life

5. Pre-established game plan, agreement on how things would work

Benefits would be that the joys/happiness found in marriage and children would be multiplied - even though there would be more challenges - just like in successful marriages the joys/happiness would outweigh them -
How does God qualify men for it? 
God knows that this man loves him above all else - God knows he can trust the care of his daughters to this particular man.

Women’s choice is always fundamental and first
The daughters freely choose a man because of the man’s God like nature. They know their husband would give his life for them. If a woman is unhappy, he will do his all to make her happy, if she chooses to leave leave its up to her, if she chooses to return the door is always open.

There are moments when they can take other husbands:
when a man incarnates, he will live life with one of his wives, his other wives will live the mortal experience with other men. Let say there are 2 brothers, resurrected being who will incarnate - one brother can ask for his brothers wife for her particular gifts and experiences in prior lives.

At the end of time of that creation, all his wives are given back to him, always respecting free will.

Only those who have resurrected live this law. Those who honor women, their virtue and choice.

Why is it so special: 
Because one resurrected man, with 5 wives and 6 children each, will produce 30 little precious babies. His powerful ministry and that of his wives will allow not just those 30 but all of those who come through them generation after generation to become Gods.

“For behold, this is my work and my glory—to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man.” (Moses 1:39)

And what is the point of a species but to grow and expand - of all the creations in the galaxy, the Fiery Ones, the Shinning ones - those that dwell in unquenchable fire - are the closest to the Great God who’s name is unspeakable.

The works of God continue, And worlds and lives abound;
 Improvement and progression Have one eternal round.

It is given by God and lived through the principles of Zion

If you have one beautiful daughter of God can give you so much joy, connection, and strength - and provide beautiful little ones - for you to take to your God - imagine multiplying that, living the way of life that the Elohim live - how strong could this man become, you might say he could even become as God 😉

You make good points definitely worthy of thoughtful consideration. But I’m sure it will draw plenty of knee-jerk reactions to the contrary. If there is a hated principle that the vast majority of LDS can agree about and coalesce around their opposition to at this point, it is plural marriage.

Although some may certainly disagree, from my perspective, you seem to be on solid ground with all your points, and especially the requirement of the first wife's agreement. That seems to be a very fundamental and necessary principle and requirement in the whole equation.

It's a great list. But, in this telestial world, does such a woman even exist? If so, no telestial man exists who would be worthy of her.
