The Silent Marriage of Mary Joseph

Zina Jacobs was seven months pregnant with her child Zebulon William Jacobs at the time of her marriage to Joseph Smith. She later recalled quote, when I heard that God had revealed the law of celestial marriage I obtained a testimony for myself that God had required the order to be established in this church. "I made a greater sacrifice than to give my life for I never anticipated again to be looked upon as an honorable woman by those I dearly loved"
