Can an unmarried women be sealed to a married man?

As is, for him not to have two wives(or relations) here but have plural in the CK?

I mean does it have to be sexual attraction?

Can a woman who has never married be sealed to a man she admires?

[Dr T]

Interesting question Sissy.

[miztrniceguy]

no

[Mr Revenant]

Yes. Women are sealed to men all the time who are already married. I believe its only practiced when the man is a widower however. While the first wife is still alive there isnt any plural marriage or sealing.

This doesnt work in reverse, ie one woman cant have many men sealed to her, only many women sealed to one man. This goes with the man being the head of the house, since there cant be more than one head.

[Guest MrsS]

I think what sissyfriends is asking is if a single woman can be sealed to a married man. miztrniceguy is correct, no she can not, and still remain single.

Let's say my husband had been previoulsy married and sealed in the Temple, his wife passed away, and I was not uncomfortable or threatened with his wishing to remain sealed to her and still wanting to be sealed to me. We would then marry and be sealed in the Temple.

Elder Dallin H Oakes is married for the second time, he is sealed to his first wife (deceased) and to his second wife.

Also a woman can not just get sealed to some man she admires. Say for instance get sealed to David O McKay, or get sealed to some man to insure that she makes it to the celestial kingdom. The new and everlasting covenant is: Marriage for Time and All Eternity. Not - Sealing just to get into the Celestial Kingdom.

OK, I see what you guys are saying.

Let's say it is the man, she is not trying to get a free ride into the CK she loves hims but he is married and he feels the same for her.

Nothing will ever happen between them here since he is married and she respects that but she knows that he is staying out of respect and for his children.

Say they are in love but it just can't work out. I mean it happens and you can not control who you meet.

Would they have to be sealed to be together in the CK?

When they talk about plural wives there this is the sort of thing I am thinking about.

Do most people believe that every man in the CK has plural wives?

Where do these plural wives come from if they are only from marriage on earth?

So, if a man was only married once on earth then he has no plural marriage in the CK?

This man that she can not deny is already married.

Is there no hope that she can spend eternity with him?

Thanks!

Nothing will ever happen between them here since he is married and she respects that but she knows that he is staying out of respect and for his children. She better go find another man, one who is single, and one who is faithful to his faith.

Say they are in love but it just can't work out. I mean it happens and you can not control who you meet. 'Um, sorry, but you CAN control who you meet and how far you allow it to go.

Would they have to be sealed to be together in the CK? If they continue this relationship -neither one will make it to the CK. Those who engage in Adultery are excommunicated from the LDS church.

When they talk about plural wives there this is the sort of thing I am thinking about. Poligamy is not, I repeat NOT practiced in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Those who do so, are excommunicated.

Do most people believe that every man in the CK has plural wives?

Where do these plural wives come from if they are only from marriage on earth?

So, if a man was only married once on earth then he has no plural marriage in the CK? This really has not been revealed to us. There is much speculation and controversy. Actually in my opinion I think there is too much speculation of What If. Why concern ourselfs with this, when we need to be concerned with what is here on earth and how we are living our lives in the here and now.

This man that she can not deny is already married. Is there no hope that she can spend eternity with him?

Thanks!

Sister, you had best get yourself away from this married man. What you are doing is called Adultery. I am going to assume something here - from the way you phrase your questions- this married man doesn't even know you feel this way. I also don't think you are a member or if you are, you haven't been a member for very long. Why I say this is any active member of more than a few years would know the answers to these questions of yours.

[jakeycoley]

Your right, I don't know at all thats why I am asking.

I am not a member she is and he is also but his wife is not.

My information about lds is second hand and I don't know if it is common belief or not so I am wondering about these things.

I can't imagine why anyone would remain unmarried for their entire life and wait for some man, but I suppose stranger things have happened.

She really thinks she will be one of his plural wives in the CK, but if you say that this is not a real lds belief then it must just be her personal.

I did look up the doctrines that do talk about plural wives if not hear but then after the grave. Have these been overwritten? Because seriously where would they come from? Women do not out number men by enough for that to make since.

Thanks

Tell Sissy that she is playing with fire to have interest or be in love with a married man that she is not married to or is not her father.

It sounds like this married man has spent some time with Sissy for her to fall in love with him or to respect him so much to want to be sealed to him.

Married man should only be fixed on his wife and his children and single sister Sissy should find herself a single man.

Ben Raines

[shanstress70]

Amen to that, Ben!

[jakeycoley]

OK, guys a new one.

My friend thinks that since she and the man are both mormon and his wife is not that he will never be with his wife in the CK because she is not a mormon.

She says that their marriage is void in the eyes of God.

IF a mormon is married to a non-mormon its not really a marriage to the church?

Is this true for lds?

Thanks

[BenRaines]

Negative, your friend has a serious problem. She has to be ill. To try to justify her desire for a married man who is married to a non LDS woman is crazy. You can tell your friend that just having the idea that she wants what someone else has, the other womans man, would cause her to not be eligible for the CK without a whole lot of repentance. Second step in repentance is remore. Don't know how she will experience remorse for something she has plotted for.

This man who even entertains the discussion of this with her should have his head examined.

AND his Temple Recommend taken from him IF he has one. HE has a lot of repentance to do too and HE should be talking to his Bishop!

It is entirely possible that they can and will be together.

Here is why:

Brigham Young thought similarly: "If you desire with all your hearts to obtain the blessings which Abraham obtained, you will be polygamists at least in your faith, or you will come short of enjoying the salvation and the glory which Abraham has obtained."[3] On other occasions he instructed: "A man may embrace the Law of Celestial Marriage in his heart and not take the second wife and be justified before the Lord."[4] "If it is wrong for a man to have more than one wife at a time, the Lord will reveal it by and by, and he will put it away that it will not be known in the Church."[5] "If it is necessary to have two wives, take them. If it is right, reasonable and proper and the Lord permits a man to take half a dozen wives, take them; but if the Lord says let them alone, let them alone. How long? Until we go down to the grave, if the Lord demand it."[6] "If we could make every man upon the earth get him a wife, live righteously and serve God, we would not be under the necessity, perhaps, of taking more than one wife. But they will not do this; the people of God, therefore, have been commanded to take more wives."
