This is why Brigham Young taught that polygamy was the ONLY form of marriage practiced in heaven and that there was NO SALVATION without polygamy. At least he wasn't afraid to tell you exactly what he thought. LOL
But this brings up the question of if you need spirit children, you need spirit wives. Now, are any of those wives Goddesses? I mean, are Mormon men saying they are the only gender who can become Gods and frolic with the fems?
No, there are no "goddesses" in LDS theology, so, yes, LDS doctrine holds that ONLY men can become "gods".
I don't think Romney will get such questions from the mainstream media; however, they very might run exposes on LDS history and theology. If they truly tell it like it is, it will be a disaster or a blessing for the LDS Church, depending on how you look at it. For those who want the non-publicized LDS teachings to be kept out of the limelight, it will be a disaster. The LDS Church has shown a tendency to bow to public pressure, especially mainstream Christian public pressure. Once their "strange" doctrines are exposed, the LDS Church will face a dilemna. They will either have to change or admit that they indeed teach some things that are directly opposed to mainstream Christianity, such as there being many gods and that they are all simply men who evolved into gods, and that earthly men can themselves become gods. I believe (and pray) their desire to become "mainstream" Christianity will force them to change, which is why I believe Romney's running could very well end up being a blessing for the LDS Church and Mormons in the long run.

Let’s hope you are right.
This Spirit world polygamy is perhaps closer to the crux of the matter than I have realized. Spirit children evidently come from continual polygamous matings, but with whom? Does each planets Father mate with his daughters? Or does his sons mate with his daughters? Seems unavoidable.
