In this video, Sam and Melissa dive deep into the topic of Mormon temple garments as portrayed in the TV show The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. As people who once wore these sacred garments, they answer common questions about their purpose, why they are so important in Mormonism, and how they’ve fostered a culture of judgment based on whether or not someone is wearing them.
