Yes, you are quite correct. And Mormons have another related belief which is equally strange:


All good mormons get married at one of the mormon temples, rather than at a "regular" church. On their wedding day, the groom is given a "secret" name for his new wife, which only he knows. In the afterlife, the mormon husband is resurrected first. He will have the opportunity to reflect back on how his wife treated him during this life, and if he so chooses, he will speak her secret name and she will then be resurrected, and rule his universe at his side as one of his wives.


Alas, if the wife did not treat her husband with enough respect during their time on Earth, then the husband has the option of NOT speaking her secret name, and she will spend eternity in the grave.


My dad told me once about an old mormon man he knew, who had forgotten the secret name which had been assigned to his wife. He had to go back to the mormon temple, where they searched through the old records and found the secret name. Good thing for his wife they found it, otherwise I guess she would not have been resurrected.


Then again, if the husband really wanted to resurrect her, he has all eternity to come up with the name ("Sarah??? How about Martha... No? Let's try Kathy..."). Eventually, by trial and error, he would have got the name right, and they would have been joined for eternity.
