Hey all,

I’ve had a crazy-busy day and everyone is asking for my take on the newest LDS.org essays on plural marriage. For now you can read my response here and enjoy the research I’ve done so far on the practice. Hopefully I’ll be able to comment thoughtfully after I snuggle my kiddos and get some sleep.

Until then, enjoy the Year of Polygamy podcasts. Please try to go in order! 🙂

Join Lindsay for the primer series on Mormon Polygamy that will begin with the wives of Joseph Smith and eventually broaden to contemporary strains of the practice today.
