<blockquote>
 
−
* No one was coerced or forced into marriage (see above). However, given that the Saints believed Joseph was a prophet, any command from him would carry significant weight.
 
−
* Despite this, the reported initial reactions are all negative: these women were strong-minded, and did not simply obey because Joseph told them to.
 
−
* Because of their distaste for the idea, many plural wives reported [[Mormonism_and_polygamy/Divine_manifestations_to_plural_wives_and_families|divine revelations]] that confirmed the truth of plural marriage. Joseph encouraged women to seek for such divine confirmation.
