Why did Joseph Smith and other early Latter-day Saint men practice plural marriage by marrying multiple wives?
Other reasons given by the Lord for the practice were to help the Saints fulfill the commandment given to Adam and Eve to “multiply and replenish the earth” (D&C 132:63; see also Genesis 1:28) and “raise up seed unto [the Lord]” (Jacob 2:30). In addition to the purposes given by the Lord in scripture, the practice of plural marriage affected the early Saints in other ways. Marriage became available to some women who may not have had the opportunity otherwise, and it increased many women’s financial stability. Additionally, obeying the Lord’s commandment concerning plural marriage in spite of opposition increased early Church members’ understanding that they were the Lord’s “peculiar people”
