I know a sister may be a female may be sealed to  all she has been married to in this world, providing all have died. Now I have forgotten if she must be dead. Harry L.

If she comes to believe that she should be sealed to him, she would need to get a living recommend for Sealing to Spouse from the appropriate Priesthood which I believe is her Bishop and Stake President.  Being a new member, I would advise her to fast and pray about this sort of thing to be sure this is what she should do. When I was a new member, I was divorced and dating a someone who was very kind and a generous person.  He was opposed to the church though.  My ex-husband was interested in the church and did eventually join but his repentance was short lived, though we remarried and were sealed in the temple.  He attended the temple only once and then became inactive and never attended again.  I can look back on it and realize that I never actually got a confirmation that I should take up the relationship with the ex-husband who had a history of being unkind and abusive and wish that I had done so. Perhaps it was still the right thing to do, but not having gotten the confirmation and then another divorce 20 years later makes one question whether or not it was.

Thanks Nancy User's Guide to the New FamilySearch Website (20 February 2012) (LDS Version) Do I Need a Relative's Permission to Perform Ordinances? (110-Year Rule) Problem .When do I need to get permission to perform ordinances? .Which relative can give permission for ordinances to be performed? Resolution Before doing ordinances for a deceased person born in the last 110 years, please remember that close relatives may not want the ordinances performed, or they may want to do the ordinances themselves. You may do ordinances for your own deceased spouse, child, parent, or sibling, but please consider the wishes of other close living relatives, especially a living spouse. If you are not a spouse, child, parent, or sibling of the deceased, please obtain permission from the closest living relative before doing the ordinances. The closest living relatives are, in this order: an undivorced spouse (the spouse to whom the individual was married when he or she died), an adult child, a parent, or a brother or sister. Verbal approval is acceptable. Family members should work together to determine when the ordinances will be done and who will do them. with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message Please send the one word message SUBSCRIBE or UNSUBSCRIBE to [email protected] ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message Please send the one word message SUBSCRIBE or UNSUBSCRIBE to [email protected] ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message Please send the one word message SUBSCRIBE or UNSUBSCRIBE to [email protected] ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
