"Supercouples": Appreciating Your Polygamist Pioneer Ancestors through the Perspective of the Book "Selective Breeding" by Aramariu

 

The Case for Mormon People as a Quasi-Ethnic Identity and Unique Culture via the Selection Process of Plural Marriage and Male Kingdom Building in the 1800s:

Disclaimer: The following posts below are meant to express an appreciation for my LDS Pioneer ancestors who practiced plural marriage, and the religion and quasi-ethnic culture they contributed to forming in the 1800s. These posts however are not designed to promote the practice of polygamy today. Appreciation of the past (when plural marriages occurred) and how the temporary practice helped form the ongoing tribal cohesion still felt today amomg many LDS members, is not the same thing as prescribing a return to plural marriage. Knowing what the Latter Day Saint Movement was like in the 1800s, is not the same as believing it should be that way today. I agree with most Book of Mormon based sects that have become monogamous Christian churches.
