Mormons don't practice polygamy, and haven't since the 1800s. You are thinking of the splinter group, the FLDS, not The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, which are called the Mormons.

How many kids does the average morman family have?

This varies greatly, and depends a lot on where the family lives. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) puts no set rule on how many children a family should have, it only follows the Bible's direction that says "Children are an heritage of the Lord". People may choose when to have children based on their desire, ability, medical condition, and financial status. I have known Mormon families with no children, some with only one or two, and some with 13 to 15! An average Mormon family living the suburbs of Salt Lake City has between four and eight kids, while an average Mormon family living in Europe has one to three - it's just based on the culture where they live.

What is a Mormon family?

A Mormon family is a family that are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Mormon families are pretty typical families, usually with a dad, mom, and several children, although there are many single-parent families as well. Mormon families do tend to be more traditional, with a working father and a stay-at-home mom. They also typically have more children (a Mormon average is 4-6 rather than the national average of 2-3). Mormon families tend to be very religious, attending church together and praying and worshipping together at home. Check out the "Related Links" below to learn more about Mormon families.

What is the largest number of children known in a Mormon family?

This type of statistic has never been recorded or reported. It would be extremely difficult to do so due to the commonness of mixed families due to divorce, remarriage, and adoption. The average number of children in a Mormon family in most western nations in two to six. I have known hundreds of Mormon families in Utah in my lifetime, and the largest I ever knew had 13 biological children with no remarriages or adoptions. The vast majority had four or five children.


What is the difference between an extended and a polygamous family?

An extended family is one which consists of parents, children, grand children and sometimes the sisters, brothers, nieces and nephews of the parents. Sometimes extended families live near each other, but most often modern extended families live some distance apart and come together only during formal reunions, special holidays gatherings, and for marriages and funerals. A polygamous family is one in which one person has more than one spouse at the same time. The two best known forms are polygyny (one man having more than one wife), or as polyandry (one woman having more than one husband). A polygamous family is one in which the spouses and their children live together and operate as a large family unit. A polygamous family may be considered to be one particular type of extended family.
