Here’s the reason why the Mormon Wives are allowed to get surgery and Botox
No coffee allowed though!
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives cast are no stranger to surgery, Botox and filler. You may be just as confused as I was, because they’re not allowed to drink coffee or party, but there’s a reason behind why they’re allowed to go under the knife, and undergo ketamine therapy of all things. There’s even a Mormon rumour that surgery comes under the ‘perfect’ appearance for heaven.
Mormon Wives are allowed to get surgery and Botox
The Mormon religion teaches that they should protect life and accept medical care, and are allowed to have surgeries. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which Mormons believe and follow, has no official stance on cosmetic surgery, but church leaders have spoken out against excessive focus on the physical body if it detracts from spiritual growth.
There’s also been people speaking out about how unrealistic The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives is compared to the real-life Mormonism lifestyle. There’s also some people that argue that, when it comes to surgery s an example, the LDS emphasis on individual agency and autonomy allows members to make their own choices about their bodies, including cosmetic procedures.
In a statement from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, they warned against a “superficial standard” of beauty and cautioned against actions driven by a fixation on the physical body. When it comes to why they don’t allow Mormons to drink coffee, because they believe it is “bad for the belly and the body.”
People theorise that they’ll look ‘perfect for heaven’
Basically, there’s this assumption among the Mormon Wives community that plastic surgery has become normalized as a way to prove themselves as worthy or righteous to God. One X user wrote, “Mormons are so funny, you can’t drink coffee and soda, but can do ketamine therapy. Can’t drink alcohol but can get fillers so you look ‘perfect’ and get into heaven.”
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives cast themselves have referred to things like ketamine therapy and Botox as “grey areas” as the Bible does not specifically talk about not being allowed to do them. However, procreational drugs are prohibited in the Mormon church, which is why Zac said that the ketamine was not clear, as it can be seen as a party drug.
