==Pergunta: Acreditavam outros líderes da Igreja que o casamento plural era um requisito para a exaltação?==
===Wilford Woodruff and John Taylor did not believe that polygamy was a requirement for exaltation===

When a debate in the School of the Prophets arose when one claimed that "no man who has only one wife in this probation can ever enter [the] Celestial kingdom," both Wilford Woodruff and John Taylor disagreed.<ref>{{Book:Hales:JS Polygamy 3/Full title|pages=208}} citing Salt Lake City School of the Prophets, Minutes (10 February 1873).</ref>

===George Q. Cannon believed that there would be men in the Celestial Kingdom with only one wife===

George Q. Cannon, a member of the First Presidency, noted in 1884 that "he believed there would be men in the Celestial Kingdom that had but one wife," and in 1900 a counselor to Wilford Woodruff remembered Brigham Young "proposed that we marry but one wife."<ref>{{Book:Hales:JS Polygamy 3|pages=208}}, citing {{WWJ1|vol=8|start=235|date=9 March 1884}} and John Henry Smith as cited in {{Book:Hatch:Danish Apostle|date=10 January 1900|pages=72}}</ref> Cannon said that "I am perfectly satisfied there are men who will be counted worthy of that glory who never had a wife; there are men probably in this world now, who will receive exaltation, who never had a wife at all, or probably had but one."<ref>{{Book:Daynes:More Wives Than One|pages=75}}</ref>

===Wilford Woodruff and others claimed that they had never heard Joseph Smith teach that one had to have more than one wife to be exalted===

In 1892, Wilford Woodruff and others were asked, in essence, "if Joseph Smith had ever taught you at Nauvoo or anywhere else during his lifetime, that in order for a man to be exalted in the hereafter, he must have more than one wife?"

;Woodruff:I don't know that I ever heard him make use of that expression or use that form of expression.
;Bathsheba W. Smith: I never heard of that.
;Joseph C. Kingbury: No sir. He did not teach me that. He did not say anything about that....I heard it preached from the stand that a man could be exalted in eternity with one wife.<ref>{{Book:Hales:JS Polygamy 3|pages=194}}, citing Temple Lot Transcript, Respondent's Testimony, Part 3, p. 66, question 698; p. 205, question 600; p. 225, questions 1028&ndash;1029; p. 319, questions 590&ndash;91.</ref>

===Daniel H. Wells stated the plural marriage was only practiced after one had a thorough understanding of the doctrine===

Daniel H. Wells, second councilor to Brigham Young, made it clear that plural marriage was then a commandment, but it was necessary to obey only when they had "a thorough understanding" of the doctrine and "other circumstances [were] favorable" for practicing it:

<blockquote>
It [plural marriage] was a doctrine of the church that when male members came to a thorough understanding of the revelation on the principle of plural or celestial marriage, and other circumstances being favorable, if they failed to obey it they would be under condemnation, and would be clipped in their glory in the world to come. The circumstances that would excuse a person would be physical incapacity and the like....The doctrine was enjoined upon all male members of the Church whose circumstances were favorable to their taking a plurality of wives.<ref>Daniel H. Wells, "Local and Other Matters... The Reynolds Trial," ''Deseret News Weekly'' (15 December 1875): 732, cited in {{Book:Hales:JS Polygamy 3|pages=206&ndash;207}}</ref>
