Baloney, Spiff. This has been discussed here on FR in the past and it’s documented on the Web. The wives are given secret names at weddings in the Temple. The only way for them to move “through the veil” - which not exactly analogous, is the equivalent of getting out of hell in order to go to heaven - is for the husband to call them out using that secret name. In fact, while the men can become gods, there’s really no way for a woman to become a god in the doctrine of the Mormons, right?

Thankfully, there’s none of the infidelity and promiscuity that you mention in my marriage or Moma’s and Daddy’s. However, the difference is that infidelity and promiscuity are considered sin in Christianity, while the “eternal marriage” nonsense is current doctrine in Mormonism.

I'm Mormon and I've been to the Temple many times. The only "baloney" here is the stuff you're saying about the beliefs of the LDS Church.

You were speaking of polygamy, so keep to the topic. The century-past practice of polygamy is different topic from the eternal marriage topic that you bring up.

My point was that so many make so much of a practice that was ceased over a century ago while making little of the rampant extramarital relations going on all around us. And if you had an understanding of the actual details of the practice of polygamy as it existed in the early LDS Church, you would see even more the stark contrast between that and the way society now accepts multiple partners inside and outside of marriage.
