Widows in heaven?

Question

This is going to sound rediculous, especially coming from me, but I seriously would like to know the church's official stance on this.

Say a woman is married, and her husband dies, then she later gets remarried. Assuming that all three of them lived good lives in the name of Jesus, and go to heaven, what is the marital relationship like in heaven? Does it become a polyandrous marriage, or is one husband considered "divorced", or is the whole deal off?

Answer 1

Jesus covered this exact question:
Luk 20:27 Then came to [him] certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked him,
Luk 20:28 Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man's brother die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
Luk 20:29 There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children.
Luk 20:30 And the second took her to wife, and he died childless.
Luk 20:31 And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died.
Luk 20:32 Last of all the woman died also.
Luk 20:33 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife.
Luk 20:34 And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:
Luk 20:35 But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:
Luk 20:36 Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.

Answer 2

I would reccomend reading Mark 12. Some Sadducees asked Jesus the same thing, except the roles were reversed. It involved a woman that married a man, but when he died she became the wife of the next younger brother as was the tradition of the times. Eventually she had married all seven brothers. In the ressurection there is neither husband nor wife. There is no need for marriage when we exist in a state of perfect love for everyone, and there is no need for procreation. The love will have exceeded our understanding so much that even the earthly physical and emotional pleasure of sex with your spouse will be nothing compared to the existence we will be living in.

Answer 3

If you are talking about a Christian marriage, lifestyle, and heaven then none of them are married. If you read in your Bible you can find that in heaven there is no marriage. Some of the passages that show this are Luke 20, Mark 12, and Matthew 22. You don't need to read all of them because they are all the same story, even being said in almost the same words. It is the story of the seven brothers who have when the previous brother died married the widow of that brother. The widow of the first brother ends up being married to each of the brothers. Which one is she married to in heaven? God says none of them. "For in resurrection (heaven) they neither marry nor are given in marriage." Hope this helps you.

The LDS church isn't residing this covenant at present. study the 2d e book of Commandments.
