e/Sexuality and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

Information
has gloss	eng: Sexuality has a prominent role within the theology of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). Adherents believe that gender is defined in the pre-existence, and that part of the purpose of life is for men and woman to be sealed together, forming bonds that allow them to progress eternally together in the afterlife. They believe that sexual relations within this framework are healthy and necessary, and that these relations can continue in the afterlife. In contrast with many Orthodox Christian movements, sexuality in Mormon theology is neither a product of Original Sin nor a "necessary evil;" however, because of the tremendous power of sexuality both for good and for evil, its expression is subject to strict commandments--specifically, that there are to be no sexual relations of any kind outside of marriage, as defined by the church and by law.
