One of the requirements to reach 'exaltation' -- the fullness of all that God has to offer -- is what Mormons call "celestial marriage."
Celestial marriage is a marriage in a Mormon temple designed to last not just until death but throughout all eternity. It is not a practice taught or condoned by historic, Biblical Christianity
How the Mormon Church outlawed polygamy, "The Most Holy And Important Doctrine Ever Revealed."
In recent month there has been much discussion in the media on the question of whether or not Mormonism is a 'cult.'
Most people who weighed in on the subject demonstrated a lack knowledge regarding the meaning of the term 'cult,' as well as the differences between Mormon and Christian theology.
There was a time when most Evangelicals were clear on the answer to this question. Recent years have made the answer to this question less certain amongst some Evangelical leaders, Don Veinot writes

Joel Osteen -- master of 'Christianity lite' -- believes Mormons are Christians.
Joseph Smith, founder of the Mormon church, described plural marriage as part of "the most holy and important doctrine ever revealed to man on earth" and taught that a man needed at least three wives to attain the "fullness of exaltation" in the afterlife.

The majority of missionaries in the Mormon Church are young men between the ages of nineteen and twenty-one, who serve on a voluntary basis for about two years.
