In today's episode we talk about polygamy with Brian Hales. Brian is an author of seven books about Mormon polygamy. We tried to answer as many of your questions as possible, so here are some of the questions that will be answered in the podcast.   

What was the reason for polygamy between 1840 and 1890?

Were there more women than men at the time?

Did Joseph use his role and status to pressure women into polygamous relationships?

Why did Joseph marry sisters or women who already had husbands?

Did Joseph marry a 14 year old?

Who was Fanny Alger?

Why did Joseph keep some of the marriages from his first wife, Emma?

Did Joseph write love letters to any other women other than Emma?

Were there any children that came from Joseph's other wives?

How many of the wives lived with Joseph?

Will there be polygamy in heaven?

How should we respond to those who attack the church because of polygamy?
