==Question: What did the husband of Mary Elizabeth Rollins know about her sealing to Joseph Smith for eternity?==
===Mary did not proceed with the sealing to Joseph until she had given up attempting to persuade her husband Adam to join the Church===


Mary Elizabeth Rollins was married to a non-Mormon, Adam Lightner. Mary did not proceed with the sealing to Joseph until she had given up attempting to persuade her husband Adam to join:
<!-- PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE ANYTHING BELOW THIS LINE -->
<blockquote>
My husband did not belong to the Church. I begged him and pled with him to join but he would not. He said he did not believe in it, though he thought a great deal of Joseph. He sacrificed his property rather than testify against Joseph, Hyrum and George A. Smith. After he said this, I went forward and was sealed to Joseph for eternity. <ref>Mary Elizabeth Rollins Lightner, “Remarks” at B.Y.U April 14, 1905, copy of original signed typescript, Vault Mss 363, fd 6, HBLL, BYU, 7.</ref>
</blockquote>
 
===After being sealed to Joseph, Mary continued to live with her husband Adam until his death in 1885===
 
After being sealed to Joseph, Mary continued to live with her husband Adam until his death in 1885. Although this particular statement, and the evidence that she continued to live with her husband until his death, indicates a sealing for eternity only, on other occasions Mary actually referred to being sealed to Joseph for "time and eternity." Joseph also told her that she was to be sealed to him for eternity, and she initially resisted the idea until she received an angelic visitation and confirmation.
