This just blows the mind for me. The male libido seems to be the one that deteriorates before the females, so WHY ON EARTH would we give him more than one wife????????

That brings up an interesting point. Is it true that there are no marriages in heaven?

Absolutely true, from the mouth of the Savior Himself.

Who don't these guys just get 'em a bunch of "live-in" girlfriends and call them "wives"? They could still get the tax break by claiming head of household.

As for the original Mormom belief, it doesn't appear they were too committed to their belief if they were willing to give up the "word" from the Angel of Moroni, or whomever, for a "contract" from a human government. Oh wait! I forgot, "more was revealed later".
