:'''Eternal Marriage''', Mormons believe an essential part of being exalted is being married "for time and all eternity" within Mormon temples. This ceremony, often called a "sealing," is believed to join or "seal" couples together on Earth so that they will be joined or "sealed" together as husbands and wives, parents and children, in Heaven. For Mormons, not only does the family explicitly continue into eternity but it is also the basis for deification. In order to become a "god" Mormons believed they must be married or sealed within a Mormon temple.
Hell, in Mormonism, is generally temporary. Those who reject a testimony of Jesus Christ suffer the punishment for their evils and sins in Hell. Ultimately they pay the punishment for their sins and are released form Hell but because they rejected Christ they are damned, never able to be exalted, and only gain the lowest, or Telestial glory, in Heaven. Only Sons of Perdition are damned to Hell eternally. In Mormonism, the only way to become a Son of Perdition is to have an absolute knowledge of God, to reject Him, to commit murder, and to seek to destroy His church and His work. The classic examples of this for Mormons are Satan, who as an angel in Heaven knew of God's actual reality and rebelled, seeking to dominate and destroy the souls of men and Cain, who under the influence of Satan, knowingly rejected God (who Cain knew was a reality through revelatory communication)and murdered his brother Abel. IN In Mormonism, those condemned to an eternity in Hell are incredibly few.
