We chose this week to postpone Sophie’s follow-up post until next week due to the anniversary date of a significant event we’d like to share with you. Today is a somewhat special day in Mormon Fundamentalism. Today is 132 years since an event that is known among our fellow Fundamentalists as the 1886 revelation. I’ll include the text of it below. It was a revelation written, it seems, in the hand of John Taylor, the third president of the LDS church. To sum it up, God has made His will concerning the New and Everlasting Covenant known. It’s an eternal law. He’s made His will plain on the matter.
Well, its kinda hard to write about yourself, but here we go… Hi everyone, My name is Sophie Winder. I’m Colton’s second wife, and we have been married for just over a year. I work a full time job, and am a midwifery apprentice. In marrying Colton and Tami, I have become a third generation plural wife.
What a crazy week it has been. Life has a way of getting away from you. At least it seems to for me.I have always seemed to struggle with balancing all the different things of life. I would be a terrible juggler, but I digress. The real thing I wanted to talk about in today’s post is also the real reason you are reading this and that is to learn more about why I decided to live in a plural marriage.
The beginning of a journey… My name is Tami Winder and I am Colton’s first wife. Colton and I have been married for 8 years, we have one child together so far and are hoping for more soon. I work part time but the job I love most is being a mom. A few years ago we came to the decision that we should live plural marriage, and not long after that we met Sophie.
