I have a question: Yesterday on tv we learned that Marie Osmond remarried her first husband. I’ve always loved the Osmonds and Marie so I am very happy for her family. My question is about their sealing. Her brother, Donny, said this was great for them all because they were already sealed for all time in Heaven. So in the Mormon faith, does a divorce not cancel out a sealing?

I was wondering about that myself.

I’ve always heard Marie Osmond was prone to depression. I don’t know anything about her personally, but I wonder if a lot of it was exacerbated by that perhaps she might have felt a failure, as if she was going against “God’s ordinances” because that marriage failed.

You know, my life isn’t working out because I am disobeying God. Even a son from that marriage committed suicide.

There seem to be differing opinions. If the first sealing was cancelled and she was/is sealed to another man, I've seen it said that THIS time they could be married for time only in the temple.

Alternatively, if she were never sealed to anyone else and the first sealing was never cancelled, could they be "re-sealed"?

The one opinion that seems to hold is...if you and your family are famous mormons and the church has benefited greatly from your tithing for 50 years, you could prolly do just about what you wanted to do.

Naw, they just put her on double secret probation.
