Did God really command plural marriage?
The Short Answer
Yes — D&C 132 and the Gospel Topics Essay say it came as a commandment to Joseph Smith. It was a restoration of an Old Testament practice for a specific time and purpose. Then the Lord ended it through the prophet in 1890, and monogamy is the law of the Church now.
