Kimball declares you can't share your heart

I think SWK didn't believe in polygamy.

"When the Lord says all they heart, it allows for no sharing nor dividing nor depriving. [...]
The words none else eliminate everyone and everything. The spouse then becomes preeminent in the life of the husband or wife, and neither social life nor occupational life nor political life nor any other interest nor person nor thing shall ever take precedence over the companion spouse. [...]
Marriage presupposes total allegiance and total fidelity. Each spouse takes the partner with the understanding that he or she gives totally to the spouse all the heart, strength, loyalty, honor, and affection, with all dignity. Any divergence is sin; any sharing of the heart is transgression. As we should have 'an eye single to the glory of God,' so should we have an eye, an ear, a heart single to the marriage and the spouse and family." (Faith Precedes the Miracle [1972], 142-43)


What do you think? Speaking as a man?

I think you could find similar statements in a doctrinal venue. In and of itself it doesn't speak to the doctrine of plural marriage or give a clue to SWK's personal thinking on the matter in any way unless it's to multiply (pun intended) the work and responsibility of the man.

This implies that monogamy is the only way:

You are in open opposition to your beloved Prophet, yea, even Gordon B. The Hinckley, who said polygamy is not doctrinal:

Juliann tried to pull this trick but with a better video. I called her bluff. the practice of it is certainly not doctrinal today. But the doctrine of plural marriage remains which is it was legit in the past and may be permissible in the future.
