It was the *unauthorized* practice of plural marriage that Jacob was speaking against. There are times it is allowed by God, and times when it isn't, all according to God's wisdom and purposes. Plural marriage was allowed in the holy land under the law of Moses the same time Jacob was speaking in the Americas.

There are also a lot of practical reasons. They are safer in pairs, they are less vulnerable to false accusations, if one if sick or injured the other is there to help, mentoring and training (usually one missionary is in the last half of his mission and the other in his first half), learning how to get along with other people including people who might come from a very different culture, nation, background etc.

@its_The_Dr This is the exact job I'm planning to do, but of course things are in much tighter spaces and I have aluminum siding on the exterior.

It is not about the number of times you have sex, it is about the loving willingness to do what you can to satisfy your spouse. Age and medical situations, and other conditions can make it impractical to hit a certain frequency, but if the love and affection and willingness to do what you can is there it should not harm the relationship. Can't is not the same as won't.

At the same time, a couple that does it every day but one of them is giving duty sex out of some sense of obligation, or because it is just easier to go along then fight about it, that isn't healthy for the marriage.

There is a sifting coming still. Look at the GC talks, there has been a shift in emphasis from spreading the gospel to perfecting the saints. If plural marriage came back, how many would stay? If government didn't give you a tax break for paying tithing, how many would still pay? If speaking openly in favor of the PotF will land someone in jail, how many would speak? If employers are allowed to reject you on the basis of your religion, what would you do? Things could get very rough.

There are straight, faithful LDS who remain celibate their whole life, just never finding the right person. There are married members who wind up feeling an intense sexual desire for someone other than their spouse who choose the path of obedience.

Obedience to God's laws is always the best choice, and anything you miss out on or lose in this life will be given to you in the world to come.

@joshnaa2gez I would imagine that if a gay LDS man married a lesbian LDS woman, they could understand the challenges the other faces, and support each other better, but I admittedly am an outsider to all this.

This is where the trinity fully falls apart. How is a traumatized woman supposed to make an emotional connection with some abstract, unknowable, non-human being composed of 3 persons?

You ask every one of them how they view Heavenly Father, and they will tell you something that perfectly fits with LDS theology.

It is a bad sign if he stops asking. Very bad. If you value your marriage you shouldn't feel relieved about that. Either he is already cheating, or he is beaten down to the point where it won't take nearly so much for some other woman to get him to cheat. She only has to offer him what you are withholding to put him into temptation.

Yes it is on him if he cheats, but it is on you if you push him in that direction. Don't weaken the bond between you and put up a wall instead. His sexual satisfaction is your stewardship, just as your satisfaction is his stewardship. Work out how to have a MUTUALLY satisfying sex life.

What would be so bad about having sex more often? If he is not a skilled lover who leaves you glowing and happy you made the choice to be with him, help him learn to be better in bed. Don't fake liking what doesn't work for him, let him know what works. Don't rush to get it over with and rob him of a learning opportunity. Don't get upset with him for not reading your mind, take on your role in making sex great.

Do you realize that if he feels that intimacy is generously available from you he won't ask as often? When you make it a scarce resource he has to fight to get as much as he can, as often as possible, because he is never sure when the next opportunity will come along.

One thing that can be tried is to specify that sex will happen on certain nights each week (say Sunday, Wednesday and Friday for example), and not happen on the other nights. Nobody need to ask, it is just a given that you'll do it . You can then plan around it, be prepared for it, not be taken by surprise or put on the spot. If one night has to be missed for a good reason, make up for it the next night.

@Builder_Brigade You've got to consider the day you sell the house. Keep the traditional hookup so you don't limit yourself only to buyers who want the same thing.

[The White Stone 🇨🇦 @Gunstar_One]

Group activities at 14, double dates at 16, and one-on-one at 18 still makes a lot of sense to me but that was a different time and there are different cultures to deal with so a more general principle rather than law-of-Moses type rule is where we are.

When I met my future wife she had only just turned 15 and I was 17. I would have loved to take her out sooner but I don't think it was a bad thing that we waited a year before we went on a double date (with her brother and his girl).

@ashslayyyxo It's the power dynamic. Simping is handing all the power in the relationship to her, it is not a healthy relationship. Should be an equal partnership, two way street, both serving each other, but not to the point of harming yourself in the process.
