He was still in His human imperfect body capable of sinning (breaking the commandments of God the Father) although He hadn't done so.In what way do you believe he was imperfect?

If you're trying to sell me some teaching from a polygamous spiritual leader, as was Joseph Smith, you're not going to succeed. I don't believe polygamy is morally upright. And your really nit picking the word marry which could easily and most like does mean married.
The LDS teachings of "Celestial Marriage" appear to be polygamous and therefore immoral in my opinion:Celestial marriage - Wikipedia
(New Testament | John 16:33)
33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
(New Testament | Luke 13:31 - 35)
31 ¶ The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto him, Get thee out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee.
32 And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected.
33 Nevertheless I must walk to day, and to morrow, and the day following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem.
34 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not!
35 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
So, do our LDS friends believe that a god can loose their godhood?
Yes, you are right, in the resurrection there will not be any new marriages, but those that were married "in the Lord" before the resurrection will be married even after the resurrection, in fact they will be married for time and all eternity, as the NT says.

I believe those who are Gods can give up their Godhood for a period of time, not that they lose it.So, do our LDS friends believe that a god can loose their godhood?
Correction: Jesus wasn't a God. That's Mormonism.So you think his body tempted him? We only have written record that Satan tempted a God (Jesus) to perform miracles of turning stone into bread and such. Which is obvious he was a God if he could turn stone into bread. A miracle that he did for many by dividing bread and fish and fed the multitude. Feeding the multitude - Wikipedia
Rather God the Father is our God and the God of Jesus our brother. However, Jesus Christ is one with God the Father as we can also be one with Him:Correction: Jesus wasn't a God. That's Mormonism.

(New Testament | Philippians 2:7 - 9)LOL!! Jesus never gave it up. It was set aside, partially hidden by His humanity unless needed. God doesn't loose His godhood. He doesn't give it up---all life would cease if He did---He does not transfer it. What nonsense.
(New Testament | Philippians 2:7 - 9)
7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

And I said: "I believe those who are Gods can give up their Godhood for a period of time, not that they lose it."Yes---that is what I said---but He was still God the Son, God the Creator of all--veiled and set aside---still God.
And I said: "I believe those who are Gods can give up their Godhood for a period of time, not that they lose it."
If Jesus had not finished the work that God had given him to do, Jesus would not have continued to perfect himself and would have lost his Godhood.
Wikipedia is not a good choice for getting your information about our plural marriage. No wonder you are confused.
I am not trying to teach you anything. I am trying to see what your understanding is about the text about marriage (or not) in heaven, based on Matthew 22:30.
We both agree that Jesus was talking about a time that is after the resurrection.
Now tell me how you interpret "they neither marry"? Tell my how you think I am nit picking 'marry'? Do you think the text should say, 'there is no marriage'? Let me know, so I can respond. Thank you.
As far as plural marriage is concerned. In our D&C, the Lord tells us that having one wife is the natural law, and that we should abide that law. Only under certain conditions will the Lord command plural marriage, and it is only by commandment of the Lord, then he says it is not adultery and is clean unto me.
Right now, we live the law of one wife. Anyone that tries to practice plural marriage is excommunicated.
