Emma Smith and polygamy
Emma Smith and polygamy
Summary: Critics contend that Emma Hale Smith either did not approve of the Prophet Joseph Smith having plural wives or know of the revelation concerning celestial marriage(s).
Summary: Joseph Smith did not always disclose his plural marriages to his first wife, Emma. How might we understand his decision?
Summary: In the revelation D&C 132 Emma was promised annihilation if she failed to 'abide this commandment.'
Summary: Critics contend that although Emma Hale Smith was Joseph's first wife, that Joseph was sealed to other wives before being sealed to Emma. The assumption follows that Emma was not in a position to consent to Joseph's other marriages, since she was not longer the "first wife."
Summary: A persistent claim from the Nauvoo period has Joseph Smith offering to swap wives, trading Jane Law for Emma Smith. What are the facts?
Summary: Hyrum Smith hoped that if Joseph wrote down his revelation(s) on plural marriage, that he could persuade Emma to accept the doctrine.
