eternal family
The promise of eternal families is central to Mormon theology—families can be "sealed" together forever through temple ordinances. However, this becomes a tool of control when members are told they will lose their eternal family if they leave the church or don't follow all the rules. Mixed-faith families face painful dynamics, and those who leave often grieve the loss of this promised eternity with loved ones. The doctrine also raises troubling questions about polygamous sealings in the afterlife.
