[QUOTE="gman042, post: 1020771, member: 36560"] The Church has not practiced polygamy since 1890. Since that time the LDS Church has not authorized any such practice. Any member found to be practicing plural marriage is excommunicated from the Church. The church believe in monogamous relationships between 1 man and 1 woman. There are those practicing polygamy who are commonly referred to as Mormons, but they do not belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Those who practice it are in direct violation of the law of the land and of the church. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, with over 13 million members worldwide, is not connected in any way to sects that practice polygamy. Drawing contrasts between the LDS Church and polygamists, Church members do not live in isolated compounds, arrange marriages, dress in old-fashioned clothing or wear unusual hairstyles. These mistruths are perpetuated by the media and shows like Big LOVE and Sister wives. Besides.....any one of us men that have been married know that it is hard enough to keep one woman happy. Why would anyone in their right mind want more than one wife. [/QUOTE]
