"For if I will, saith the Lord of Hosts, raise up seed unto me, I will command my people; otherwise they shall hearken unto these things."
Here, the Lord gives only one reason for plural marriage, "to raise up seed unto me." In the only recorded revelation on plural marriage received by Joseph Smith, the Lord further stated (D&C 132:63):
"they [the plural wives] are given unto him to multiply and replenish the earth, according to my commandment, and to fulfil the promise which was given by my Father before the foundation of the world, and for their exaltation in the eternal worlds, that they may bear the souls of men; for herein is the work of my Father continued, that he may be glorified."
These scriptural passages suggest to many that plural marriage served at least two reasons: 1) "to raise up seed" or "multiply and replenish the earth," and 2) "that they may bear the souls of men."
It is often not the Lord's pattern to give reasons for His commandments, and we are often left to draw our own conclusions—which may be completely wrong (Moses 5:6-8). We often obey when we do not understand why a command has been given—we only know that it has been given. We should remember the caution of Elder Dallin H. Oaks:
...It's not the pattern of the Lord to give reasons. We can put reasons to commandments. When we do we're on our own. Some people [have] put reasons to [commandments] and they turned out to be spectacularly wrong.[1]
Trying to fully understand the purposes behind such a commandment in today's mindset can also make this subject difficult. It is important to note that we do not have all the historical information surrounding the inception and implementation of the practice. Rather than trying to understand the Lord's purposes in retrospect on a limited scope, one should remember the above scripture in Jacob. Other benefits, although potentially advantageous, are not given as reasons by the Lord.
Si el propósito sólo de la poligamia, al menos en el caso de José Smith, era "dar descendencia", entonces ¿por qué José no tiene hijos con sus esposas plurales? Él era ciertamente capaz de tener hijos, como se demuestra por las cosas que tenía en Emma, muchos de los cuales murió. Sin embargo, no hay pruebas concluyentes hasta la fecha de José después de haber tenido hijos con ninguna de sus esposas plurales, y las pruebas de ADN ha descartado la mayoría de los que eran sospechosos de serlo.
José recibió la orden de restaurar la práctica de la poligamia como parte de la "restauración de todas las cosas." Obviamente, no se pretendía que Joseph utilizar la práctica para producir progenie.
Entre los matrimonios de José plural y / o juntas, entre ocho y once de ellos fueron a las mujeres que ya estaban casados. De los ocho casos bien documentados, cinco de los maridos eran los Santos de los Últimos Días, y los otros tres eran o no está activo o no asociado con la Iglesia. En todos los casos, estas mujeres siguieron viviendo con sus maridos, la mayoría de ellos haciéndolo hasta que sus maridos murieron. Estos matrimonios eternos parecen haber tenido poco efecto en la vida de las mujeres involucradas, con la excepción de que serían selladas a José en la otra vida más que a sus maridos terrenales. No hay niños de estos matrimonios nunca han sido identificados. Estos fueron sellados que sólo afectarían a la asociación de José con estas mujeres en la vida futura.

Any such list as this is therefore tentative. Any or all of these things could have been intended by the Lord for the benefit of the Church and the Saints. A few of these benefits which have been suggested include:
Other benefits which we do not yet see or understand could also have been intended. But, it reminds us plural marriage may have accomplished more than we sometimes appreciate.
