What lifestyle did the Mormon wives practice where the husband had more than 1 wife?

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) allowed men to have more than one wife for a period of 50 years, between 1840 and 1890. This practice was called "polygamy" or "plural marriage". Polygamy has been banned in the Mormon church for over 120 years, and anyone found attempting to marry multiple wives is excommunicated from the church.
There were some who disagreed with the polygamy ban. These broke off and formed their own groups, many of which still exist today. These groups have similar beliefs to the mainstream Mormon church, but still practice polygamy. They call themselves "Fundamentalist Mormons". There are less than 100,000 Fundamentalist Mormons, and there are over 14,000,000 Mainstream Mormons. The Mainstream Mormons and the Fundamentalist Mormons generally do not accept each other as legitimate.

Does Mormon religion approve more than one wives to men?
No. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) banned the practice of polygamy (having multiple wives) over 120 years ago, in October 1890. Anyone found in a polygamous relationship is excommunicated from (kicked out of) the Church. There are some who refer to themselves as 'fundamentalist Mormons' who practice polygamy. These groups are not affiliated with the mainstream Mormon church. They broke from the Mormon church to form their own churches when the Mormon church outlawed the practice of polygamy.

Do Mormon have two wifesAsk us anything?
No, Mormon men do not have two wives. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) may have only one wife (or husband) at a time. In the case of divorce or death, Mormons may remarry. So, a Mormon man might have two wives in his lifetime, but not two wives at the same time. For a period of time between approximately 1840 and 1890, the Church allowed the practice of polygamy (having more than one wife) as it is practiced in the Old Testament of the Bible. However, since 1890, any Mormon found to be practicing polygamy has been excommunicated from (kicked out of) the church. There were some who were angry with the 1890 ban on polygamy who formed their own breakaway groups. These people often call themselves "Mormon Fundamentalists", but they are not affiliated with the Mormon Church in any way.

Can a Mormon woman leave her husband if they were married in the temple?
A:According to the Mormon Church, marriage is for eternity, but in all Western jurisdictions, such as the United States, the rights of wives and husbands are defined by law, not by the rules of any religion. If a Mormon woman believes she has good grounds to leave her husband, she is therefore free to do so. The Church may disapprove, and she may no longer be accepted in the faith, but she can make the choice with that possibility in mind.
