After you reach heaven, what is your goal? What can you do there? Will there still be love (the type between a man and a woman) and the pleasures that come along with it?
HAHA I guess I'm too lazy to find my Bible, sorry again.

Stop being so lazy with your Bible and go look it up. You will be surprised with the answers you get.

I think you keep on progressing once you get there. I mean, if we have forever to live, why not shoot for perfection? When we get there, I think we'll end up doing more or less the same things we do here. Those things will probably end up mostly being servive towards our fellow man, because I've noticed that the better person I've been being the more I enjoy serving people, and vice versa.
As for marriage, I know that I'm going to stay with my wife for an eternity. If you really love someone, you don't want anything else. The physical "pleasures" of marriage are an integral and holy part of it, and will continue on after we die.
Too much for you? Sorry, I'm Mormon. I think about this alot, even if I am only seventeen. :D

.'Most people you talk with will say that it is hard to find the answers they are looking for in the bible. And others say they don't understand the bible. I mean even the Ethiopian eunuch didn't't understand the bible. - Acts 8:26-36
The bible says that only 144,000 individuals will be taken from the earth and sent to heaven and they will be Kings and Priest's. - Revelation 20:4, 6; Revelation 21:2, 22-24
The bible also says that there will be a great crowd of people that will be able to live on earth forever in the abundance of peace. - Revelation 7:9, 13-15; Psalm 37:3-4, 9-11, 19,
28-29
Soon death will be gone away with - Revelation 20:12-13, Hebrews 2:14-15, 2 Timothy 1:10

First off, pleasure is not sin - there is no foundation for that in all the Bible.
The great joy of Heaven is being in communion with God, face to face - walking as friends. Think of how excited you would be to meet a celebrity you really look up to...now magnify that infinitely!
The Bible says that our resurrected bodies will be without gender so there won't be sex but the pleasures of this earth pale in comparison to the joys of Heaven so people won't miss it.

All I know is that it is a whole lot better. If you think about the little things that are so good, like cheesecake or the sounds of water, you know the little things; if they can be so good and they are way better in heaven then that must rock. Plus life without sorrow, bitterness, lonliness.... Thats awesome. All of our heavenly riches will be there. I also know there are some verses that talk about the lion and the lamb laying together and the streets of gold... Plus God will be there. All I know is that its going to rock so I dont care about the specifics.
Also pleasure is not a sin. Never does God say that in order to follow Him your life has to suck and you cant be happy. God wants us to be happy. Its when we do things that we are not suppose to that its wrong.

Jesus says that there is no Male nor Female in heaven. My goal in heaven? To live in the blessing of God and in a world with no more sickness and no more death or pain. I believe that there is a purpose in life there, much like there was purpose in the Garden of Eden. It was a perfect place, but Adam and Eve still had a job; tending the garden.

To me heaven will be whatever we want it to be. Whatever is important to you in this life may not be the same things in the next.
I think we all have valuable lessions to learn while we are here so that we can grow and become closer to what God wants us to be.
Physical love between a man and a woman is only of this world, it is the love in their hearts that they will take with them to the other side.

when the righteous are taken to heaven at Jesus" 2nd coming we will go thru the books to make sure we r satisfied as to why someone we thought was a good person did not make it.10,000 yrs will just be the begining of our time there so im guessing you can do anything you want as long as it is not a sin.there will be no marriages in heaven,so no sex either.
catholicism is not christianity,otherwise they would only go to jesus to ask for forgiveness,instead of their priest

There is a lot of speculation, but no one knows for sure. There are a lot of people dying to know though. Sorry, I couldn't resist.
Seriously:
[1 Cor 2:9] But as it is written: "What eye has not seen, and ear has not heard, and what has not entered the human heart, what God has prepared for those who love him,"
