(1) If a man has lived a holy, temple-worthy life and done good deeds, can he have a multiplicity of wives in the Celestial Kingdom?
(2) Can an unmarried woman make it to the Celestial Kingdom?
If the answer to either or both questions is yes, can you provide sources. Thanks.

Yes to both. Here is a link:

My belief in this respect is that the whole point of marriage in the celestial kingdom was to form a partnership. The plural marriage thing was begun partially to keep women from living alone and unsealed because of a shortage of men.
An unmarried woman can't make it to the highest level of the Celestial Kingdom, but she can be a ministering angel in that kingdom.
I think that where people simply didn't have the chance for such an opportunity as temple marriage, God will work out the kinks and make sure that everybody gets a chance.

Read D&C 131 and 132.
Will there be multiple marriages in heaven? Probably yes. Why? Because there are more worthy women than men and God will not deny His daughters the blessings they deserve just because there were not enough worthy men to go around.
Can a single woman make it to the Celestial Kingdom? Yes. Why? Because God will not deny her all the blessings she deserves. If she did not marry in this life for no fault of her own, then an eternal mate will be found for her in the next phase of life. During the millenium all the holes in family connections will be filled. The single sister will be sealed by proxy to a worthy mate so that she can have all the blessings that her worthy life merited.
Fear not, God is just and the eternal perspective on life makes all things right.

1. Maybe. I don't know that there is any hard and fast rule about this.
2. Yes. Especially if she is unmarried thru no fault of her own.
"The Lord Knows and Loves You
I also recognize that not all women in the Church will have an opportunity for marriage and motherhood in mortality. But if those of you in this situation are worthy and endure faithfully, you can be assured of all blessings from a kind and loving Heavenly Father—and I emphasize all blessings.
I assure you that if you have to wait even until the next life to be blessed with a choice companion, God will surely compensate you. Time is numbered only to man. God has your eternal perspective in mind."

I can't think of any sorces right now, But the answer is yes to both questions. Aman can have more then one wife in the Celestial kingdom because there will be more women in the celestial kingdom. and a women ca make it to the celestial kingdom because once she dies she will have a chance to marry in the spirtworld. Sorry I can't think of any sources right now.

1.- I've heard that if a man marries a woman in the Temple but they get divorced and he marries again, Nope... he will not have both, only his second wife. If a man and a woman marry in the temple and the woman dies, he marries again then in the CK according to what I've heard both of them will be with him in the CK... but I am not completly sure. What I am relly sure about is that no man or woman can marry more than one person at the same time in life, they would be excommunicated from the church as soon as NOW.
2.- Yeah, if you don't marry in this earthy life, there is the millenium and you can marry there.

The answer is YES
Why?
Because there are more females than males, and more specifically there are more righteous women than men.
So yeah if you're a good boy you get to hook it up big time in the hereafter.
