And the false prophet Joseph Smith was “entitled to (his) opinion!” when he said...

So are you entitled to your opinion..
And the false prophet Joseph Smith was entitled to his...
However he made a false religion of his opinion and led millions astray into Hell..
Have you read “No Man Knows My History”?
When Fawn Brodie began her research for the book in 1945 she was an active, believing Mormon with no ax to grind. She simply wanted to write a book of the history of the Mormon church.
With blessings from the church hierarchy including all the apostles and prophets she was given full access to all official church history and records in the church owned vault at their headquarters in Salt Lake City.
During her research of the church archives she made a shocking discovery that all Mormonism was based on a lie began by the founder Joseph Smith and his 1st vision which included the Golden Plates, the Book of Mormon, polygamy, on and on.
As she was about to publish her book and make public the factual findings and history of her church she was threatened with excommunication from her faith if she followed through with publication of the book.
Upon publication of the book the Mormon church made good on their threat of excommunication and she was dishonorably kicked out of the church and declared persona-non-gratis.
Since its publication in the mid 1940’s it remains one of the most definitive and accurate accounts of the actual beginnings and history of the Mormon church. Her book is still used as source material in modern day church history publications.
Perhaps you could recommend one? An author who lived in a polygamous marriage and loved it. I doubt that exists.
When David was cool, Michal wanted to be married to him. Later, when she decided he was dorkie, she despised him.
Not a religious proclamation here, but I always through David’s punishment for wanting multiple wives was having to have multiple wives.
Off the main point, but isn’t the real issue which guy she slept with first, not which man bought her first?
isn’t the real issue which guy she slept with first, not which man bought her first?

Michal was the daughter of a king...Saul
She was not a whore to be brought...
She loved David and Saul gave her to David...
They lived together as man and wife...
Thedn saul gave her to another guy while David was gone...
And David returned and claim ed his lawful wife...
He killed 200 philistines to pay for her. OK, not your normal payment ;-)
Oh. I get it. I wasn’t commenting on which was right or wrong, I was saying the question being asked wasn’t the right question.

If Joseph Smith didn’t have sex with his wives but was only sealed (married) to them for eternity, why were many of them later sealed (married) and had SEX and children with Brigham Young or Heber Kimball?
Let's take Zina Diantha HUNTINGTON for example:
She married Henry Baily Jacobs in March of 1841. In October of 1841 she was sealed (married) to Joseph Smith for eternity and (as you said) to "seal" her family to Smith. So if she was sealed for eternity to Smith without s.e.x., why did she marry Brigham Young in February of 1846?
She was already married on earth (her first husband Jacobs, was still living)she had two children with Jacobs AFTER both her sealings to "Prophets." She was already sealed (married) for eternity to Joseph Smith. So why did she need to marry Brigham Young?
