| − | Because of a lack of historical documentation, we do not know about Joseph Smith’s early attempts to comply with the commandment. However, by 1841 the Prophet had begun to obey the commandment and to teach it to some members of the Church, and over the next three years he married additional wives in accordance with the Lord’s commands. The Prophet Joseph Smith’s obedience to the Lord’s commandment to practice plural marriage was a trial of faith for him and his wife Emma, whom he loved dearly....Practicing plural marriage brought additional challenges. Because the practice was initially kept very quiet, rumors began to spread about Church leaders marrying additional wives. These rumors greatly distorted the truth, slandered the names of the Prophet and other Church leaders, and contributed to increased persecution against the Saints

| − | {{Criticism label}}
| |
| − | | |
| − | Joseph Smith is frequently attacked for his introduction and practice of polygamy. These attacks usually focus on arguing that:
| |
| − | # Polygamy is unchristian or unbiblical
| |
| − | # Joseph hid the truth about the practice of polygamy
| |
| − | # Polygamy was illegal, and therefore improper
| |
| − | # Polygamy sprung from Joseph's carnal desires
| |
| − | # Joseph desired to marry young women
| |
| − | # Joseph married women who were already married to other men (polyandry).

| − | | |
| − | Plural marriage was perhaps the greatest challenge to the early members of the Church. The choices of early members to practice polygamy are often not considered in context.
