Heavenly Mother

Mormon doctrine teaches that God has a wife, Heavenly Mother, but members are forbidden from praying to her or discussing her in detail. Leaders claim she is "too sacred" to discuss, but critics see this as silencing the divine feminine. The existence of Heavenly Mother raises uncomfortable questions about polygamy in heaven, as early leaders taught that God has multiple wives. Many find the suppression of Heavenly Mother troubling and sexist.
