Celestial marriage (also called the New and Everlasting Covenant) is a doctrine peculiar to Mormonism, particularly The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) and branches of Mormon fundamentalism. It is an ordinance associated with a covenant that usually takes place inside temples by those authorized to hold the sealing power. As such it is only available to members deemed "worthy" to enter the temple. In the sacred marriage ceremony a man and a woman make covenants to God and to each other and are sealed as husband and wife for time and all eternity. A man may be sealed in this way to more than one wife. Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

In the 19th century, the term Celestial marriage often referred specifically to the practice of plural marriage, a practice which the LDS Church abandoned in 1890. Plural marriage is still continued by Mormon fundamentalists not affiliated with the LDS Church, and is referred to as Celestial marriage. In the LDS Church, a man may enter a Celestial marriage with only one woman at a time; however, if his wife dies, he may enter another Celestial marriage, and both marriages will be valid in the eternities and they will live together in the afterlife it is not known how that will be the case. As with other covenants, the celestial marriage covenant requires the continued righteousness of the couple, although if only one remains righteous that person is promised a righteous eternal companion in eternity. Alternative meaning: Nineteenth Century (periodical) (18th century — 19th century — 20th century — more centuries) As a means of recording the passage of time, the 19th century was that century which lasted from 1801-1900 in the sense of the Gregorian calendar. ...

Success
Mormons have had a high success rate with marriage. Research has shown that: - Non same religion couples have 1/2 end in divorce.
- Same religion couples have 1/4 end in divorce.
- Mormon couples have 1/6 end in divorce.
- Mormon couples married in temple have 1/16 end in divorce.
Because of the anti-smoke, alchol, and pre-married sex rules of mormon it is believed that that is the common reason most last.
Sealing -
Celestial marriage is an instance of the LDS doctrine of sealing. Following celestial marriage, not only are the couple sealed as husband and wife, but children born into the marriage are also sealed to that family. In cases where the husband and wife have been previously married civilly and there are already children from their union, the children accompany their parents to the temple and are sealed to their parents following the marriage ceremony. In Mormonism, a sealing is an ordinance (ritual), generally performed in temples, that seals familial relationships, purportedly making possible the existence of family relationships throughout eternity. ...

Relationship to Plural Marriage Whether celestial marriage is monogamous . However, historically speaking celestial marriage and plural marriage are synonymous. (Doctrine and Covenants, Section 132.) Mormon fundamentalists cleave to the traditional interpretation that connects the two (i.e. plural and celestial marriage) while the LDS Church makes a distinction. In their view, plural marriages in the early church, when properly authorized and conducted, were, in fact, celestial marriages; but celestial marriages need not be plural marriages. In addition, since celestial marriages must be performed by someone with proper priesthood authority, and since plural marriage is no longer authorized by the LDS Church, no authorized celestial, plural marriages can be performed today. Mormon fundamentalists argue, in return, that they hold the priesthood authority to perform these marriages. However, while plural marriage is eschewed by the LDS Church today, it continued to be practiced, even after The Manifesto (the 1890 Official Declaration by then LDS President Wilford Woodruff, by which he counseled the Saints to discontinue plural marriage). The practice continued to be officially sanctioned until 1904 and the issuance of the Second Manifesto under Joseph F. Smith. Culturally, many Mormons believe that celestial marriage as plural marriage, will be reinstated or recommence after the Second Coming. This belief has not been taught by church leaders, and "when any Elder of the Church has publicly used language which appeared to convey any such teaching, he has been promptly reproved."[citation needed] In monogamy (Greek: monos = single/only and gamos = marriage) a person has only one spouse at a time (as opposed to polygamy). ...
