Default Polygamy in the Celestial Kingdom

How many of you believe there will be polygamy in the Celestial Kingdom?

Not sure what you mean. It already exists.

I know that polygamy exists on earth.

Most LDS believe that the earth itself will become the celestial kingdom, right? I don't believe the celestial kingdom already exists.

There are innumerable celestial kingdoms. In time, the earth will become celestialized as has been done to other planets which have filled the measure of their creation.

If you need to have an eternal spouse in order to be exalted and there aren't exactly the same number of male and female exaltation-worthy beings, what is the solution sans polygamy?

So God doesn't currently live in a celestial kingdom?

I agree that Kolob would have celestial glory, but I always thought that the earth would supposedly be the actual location of "our" celestial kingdom.

In any event, location of the CK is not the point of the question. I'm wondering what percentage of CG people believe that polygamy will be practiced in the CK.

Let me try this question again then:
