Mormonism is a religion that believes in polygamy. The practice of polygamy was prevalent in the Church during most of the 19th-century. Between 20 and 30% of Latter Day Saint families were involved in it. This practice is continued today in several fundamentalist Mormon churches. Although polygamy may be illegal in most places, it is still practiced regularly by many Mormons.
Celestial marriage
Celestial marriage is a legally binding agreement between two individuals in Mormonism. The ceremony takes about 20 minutes and it is essential for salvation or exaltation. Mormons believe being married to your spouse will ensure your family's eternal existence in the Celestial Country.
Joseph Smith was the first to officially declare the doctrine when he received the "Revelation on Celestial Marriage" in 1843. The practice was already well-established before 1843, when Joseph Smith began experimenting with it. Smith was given the Revelation through his secretary. Smith's first wife, however, refused to consent to polygamy.
Polygamy
LDS Church polygamy is controversial because it affects marriage Mormons. Mormon leaders used to defend the practice by citing Abraham's biblical story and his wives. Abraham had several wives and a boy, and Abraham gave his son away after Isaac was born. However, this did not change the commandment that kills, and Mormon polygamy was a special exception to the eternal principle o monogamy. The practice was later discontinued because the Mormons ceased to practice sacrifice.
Mormon polygamy was a very small part of the Mormon faith. Although polygamy is a practice that was rooted in Joseph Smith’s history, most Latter-day Saints are not practicing it today. However, polygamists in Mormonism continue to practice it today, as the Mormon Church has many millions of members.
Latter-day Saints
Mormons believe in marriages between two people who follow the teachings of Jesus Christ. Mormons who desire to marry must have a ceremony with God in the temple. Mormons believe that to seal a marriage, both partners must accept the gospel from the afterlife. Otherwise, they can't marry.
Latter-day Saints believe marriage is the most important thing they do in their lives. This must be done by the right authority. This union is the gateway to eternal love and peace in mansions on high. Latter-day Saints must love and support one another throughout their lives. They also need to be faithful to Christ.
Their worthiness
Mormonism emphasizes the importance and significance of marriage and covenants made at the temple. Mormons believe that if they are worthy, they will be given an LDS temple marriage. It is controversial to ask sex questions during the worthiness interview. Some bishops won't allow them to be asked. Mormons believe that the test of worthiness is only for the sake and marriage, not for individual worth.
Mormons believe marriage to be a sacred covenant that Heavenly Father has made. A marriage that is sealed in the temple of Mormonism will be eternal. The Mormons believe that only worthy people can enter the temple, and that marriages sealed in the temple will preserve families for all eternity.
Their chastity
In Mormon religion, women and men are required to practice chastity in marriage. They can't evoke or affect the powerful emotions of another person, such as sexual intercourse. They cannot touch, kiss or lie on the top of their partners. It is possible for men and women to get in bed together at the temple while remaining chaste.
Mormonism views adultery, fornication and other sexual acts as grave sins. These sins are considered serious and cause unhappiness in Mormonism. But, they believe that Heavenly Dad will forgive them if their sins are repented. In order to receive forgiveness, the couple must become members of the Church, which can be a difficult process.

Second, try to keep things lighthearted. Don't be too serious. Don't worry if you get nervous. This is supposed for fun!

Fifth, you can ask open-ended queries. Questions that demand both of them to answer. Asking "What music do your like?" is a better way to ask. Ask, "Do you prefer classical music or rock/pop?"
