Episode 13 of Polygamy explores the apologetic defenses surrounding the complex history of Joseph Smith's polygamous relationships. We discuss early hints of plural marriage, spiritual justifications including angelic commands, power dynamics in relationships with young women, and the doctrine of eternal marriage. We analyze primary sources from the Nauvoo period, conflicting accounts, public denials alongside private practice, and how polygamy's legacy continues to shape Mormon understanding of family and eternity.
