Much less clear is the church's position on polygamy in the eternal hereafter. When a Mormon man and woman are married in the Temple, they are "sealed," which means they and their children will be bound together forever in heaven—what Mormons call the celestial kingdom. If a Mormon man becomes a widower, or if he is divorced, he can remarry in the Temple—and thus be sealed to more than one woman. (Mormon women, on the other hand, need to have their previous sealings canceled before they can be sealed again.) Doesn't this mean, in effect, that men can have multiple wives in heaven? LDS Church officials decline to answer specifically, saying only that "the Lord has not given answers to all the details of life after death. There are some things we simply don't know."

"They're worried they're going to be forced into polygamy in the next life." As with all questions about heaven, these are unanswerable; the most devout members put their trust in God. "We have great faith that it will all work out," says LDS spokeswoman Kim Farah.
