This is one of hundreds heart-felt witnesses out there that I have read. And yet, many will say that this was a creation and wicked notion of Brigham Young. Sorry; the sketchy "evidence" you present holds no water. Did people deny polygamy? Yes, they did just as I might soft pedal or even deny some of our less-pleasant doctrines such as our belief that we can progress to Godhood one day. Not exactly something you want to say in front of a wicked and adulterous crowd that is intent on slandering you in any way that they can because they are infuriated at your self-control and desire to accomplish something, that - in their heart of hearts - they know they never will, but really need to in order to secure eternal bliss in Father's presence. Crabs in the bucket. I endured it in high school and had to throttle back my stated ambitions because I was physically threatened by the drinking crowd and the crowd that thought homework was a waste of time. Quite frankly, just a disgusting revelation about human nature. And then there are those who would tear a man down for a successful marriage, when theirs had not been successful. Why not take a few notes and celebrate when someone accomplishes the impossible or near impossible - and then go and do thou likewise? People truly are disgusting - and they reveal who they are by their petty actions, back-stabbing, attempts at belittling, etc.
The fact is this: plural marriage, if it is lived in it's pure form, is nearly impossible in this life where scarcity and hardship is a thing. So, if it is done with any modicum of success, praise the couple who was able to pull it off! Do not tear it down or criticize it as a thing of a repugnant and foul nature. Because you WILL have to answer your criticisms to those beings who made it work properly, including Jesus Christ himself. That will be just a little uncomfortable and I pity you:
