The church's very own website supports your view. The sisters lied to you, or are just too stupid to know any better.
https://www.lds.org/topics/plural-marriage-in-kirtland-and-nauvoo?lang=engSecond paragraph of a very long article with tons of bullcrap footnotes:
"After receiving a revelation commanding him to practice plural marriage, Joseph Smith married multiple wives and introduced the practice to close associates. This principle was among the most challenging aspects of the Restoration—for Joseph personally and for other Church members. Plural marriage tested faith and provoked controversy and opposition. Few Latter-day Saints initially welcomed the restoration of a biblical practice entirely foreign to their sensibilities. But many later testified of powerful spiritual experiences that helped them overcome their hesitation and gave them courage to accept this practice."
