Gramps, We were discussing plural marriages in the celestial kingdom. Our question is: Will this be a choice or does this pertain to the brethren who are sealed to more than one wife here on earth? Doug, from Washington [answer] |

Gramps, My husband recently passed away-a faithful member of the Church with whom I was sealed in the temple. I understand that if both of us are worthy of the celestial kingdom, we will be reunited as husband and wife with our celestialized bodies. As I understand it, we would then be capable of bearing, nurturing and raising more children. However, in one of your answers to questions, you stated that whether the marriage is consummated by resurrected beings or not is a silent matter in the scriptures. So, are you implying that there is an alternative method to conceiving spirit children in the celestial kingdom? And that there is no physical affection shown there? Kris, from Oklahoma [answer] |

Gramps, I don’t understand about polygamy. Are women just eternal baby factories for the men? Even if they are righteous, this is a hard doctrine to understand. I understand the law was given here on earth for raising up a people to the Lord. I just have a hard time wanting to be a baby factory for all eternity. Please explain this for me. It is something I have questioned for years. Thank you. Joni, from Wilmington, Delaware [answer] |

Dear Gramps, I have always been curious how women can expect to be remarried (after being widowed) if they can not be sealed to more than one man. Personally, I would want to spend eternity with my husband, and so do not want to be sealed to more than one man, but if I was widowed young, I don't know if I would want to spend the rest of my life alone. I guess I could have a civil marriage, but if I loved this person, wouldn't I want him to have the blessings of the temple? Then he would be stuck with me. What a mess! Men seem lucky to not have this dilemma to consider. Please help me understand. Marcia [answer] |
