“In other words, some of the Saints have said, and believe, that a man with one wife, sealed to him by the authority of the Priesthood for time and eternity, will receive an exaltation as great and glorious, if he is faithful, as he possibly could with more than one. I want here to enter my solemn protest against this idea, for I know it is false.”Joseph F. Smith, July 7, 1878 · Plural Marriage—For the Righteous Only—Obedience Imperative—Blessings Resulting · JD 20:24-31
