Family in Heaven question?

Question

Theoretically= You are a woman, you are married, in love, and have 2 children. You believe that when you die as well as your family, you will all be together in Heaven (if you make it there of course) Lets say you die when your children are young. Your husband is lonely, wants a mother role model in his children's life, so he marries another woman. He knows that is what you would want for him and he still will always love you. When everyone gets to Heaven, new wife, children, husband. Do we all become one big happy family? Obviously you would want to be with your children and they would want to be with their step-Mother as well. Does your husband get to have two wives? Or does he choose which wife to have? Do you end up alone? Just curious on your thoughts.

PS I am LDS, we have temple marriages aka sealings, where marriage is eternal not till death do us apart.

Answer 1

In LDS doctrine, if you are married in the temple, and your children are seal to you and your husband , they will always be your husband and kids.

As for the 2nd wife, as you apporve of it, and your husband married her in the temple, and the Lord approves of it, then you all will be bless as a family. Yes, your husband will end up with 2 wife in Heaven.

Eventhough LDS do not practice it at present time, and do not teaches it, we do consider plural marrige as a celestial law; but do remember the law does require the first wife to approve of his second marriage, so if you do not want him to have a 2nd wife, you better say so now. ;-)

Luke 20: 27-36: "However, some of the Sadducees, those who say there is no resurrection, came up and questioned him, 28 saying: “Teacher, Moses wrote us, ‘If a man’s brother dies having a wife, but this one remained childless, his brother should take the wife and raise up offspring from her for his brother.’ 29 Accordingly there were seven brothers; and the first took a wife and died childless. 30 So the second, 31 and the third took her. Likewise even the seven: they did not leave children behind, but died off. 32 Lastly, the woman also died. 33 Consequently, in the resurrection, of which one of them does she become [the] wife? For the seven got her as wife.”
34 Jesus said to them: “The children of this system of things marry and are given in marriage, 35 but those who have been counted worthy of gaining that system of things and the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage. 36 In fact, neither can they die anymore, for they are like the angels, and they are God’s children by being children of the resurrection."

This is speaking of the anointed who are bought from the earth to rule in heaven as kings and priests and judges with Jesus...this is a small, limited number of individuals. they will become spirit creatures, and ...well, they don't have wives or husbands, that is a human situation... The majority of people who have died will be resurrected to life on earth...we are humans now and will be humans in the future. That was God's original plan for us, that is why we exist, and that is still his plan for us.

Psalm 37: 9-11, 29: "(Psalm 37:9-11) “. . .For evildoers themselves will be cut off, But those hoping in Jehovah are the ones that will possess the earth. 10 And just a little while longer, and the wicked one will be no more; And you will certainly give attention to his place, and he will not be. 11 But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth, And they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.” 29 The righteous themselves will possess the earth,
And they will reside forever upon it."

Matthew 5:5: "“Happy are the mild-tempered ones, since they will inherit the earth."

Answer 3

That question was answered almost 2000 years ago.

"Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his brother: Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh. And last of all the woman died also. Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her. Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven." Matthew 22:24-310

Answer 4

So far you have some good Biblical answers, but there not complete. Sorry I spend too much time answering the questions already that I have not had time to look up the text. I have read somewhere in the new testiment when the disciples asked your very question He besides not marrying and giving in marriage, but that we would all be brothers and sisters in Christ.

Answer 5

I don't believe we will practice polygamy in Heaven as the LDS do. The man will not have two or many wives. As a Christian I know that I will be in Heaven with my children and husband. I will know them as my children and husband, they will know me as there mom and wife. I know that my husband and I will not have relations in Heaven,or be married in that way. I think that in the next life we won't really care about that kind of stuff. We will be to busy praising God.

Answer 6

Mathew 22:23-33 gives Christs' response to this question. We will be given new bodies like the angels (Light?) and like the Angels will be praising God. We will experience Agape Love which is all consuming and all sharing with all who are present there. John

Answer 7

You may not encounter any physical personages (such as yourself, your family, and friends, etc.), but spiritual ones (your love for your family, friends, etc.). If not,there would be many conflicting reunions in Heaven.
I would also theorize that the "self" would not exist, in this Heaven; for if you cannot encounter your "self" in Heaven, you must encounter "self-love", which breeds envy, jealousy, etc.
What, exactly, expresses that love if the self does not exist? Nothing. No expression, no intensified gestures, just "static love".
While this heaven wouldn't satisfy the longing of being able to look into a loved ones eyes once more, it seems to be the only one that makes sense.
Note: we are merely hypothesizing.

Answer 8

We really can't perceive the spiritual realm. We try to put it into earthly terms and create material models but they fall way short. That is why we are called not to know but to be faithful. Faith is the evidence of things unseen. We hope in something that is yet to come.

"No eye has seen , no ear has heard, nor has it entered into the heart of man what God has prepared for those that love Him"

Answer 9

There will be no marriage in heaven, God's Word is clear on this point. I believe we will all be so full of God's love for us and ours therefore for one another that we will have nothing extra to give to anyone special.

I nonetheless believe we will all know our loved ones and they us.

Luk 20:34-35
And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage: But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:

Answer 10

In Hindu philosophy, if any heaven existed there would be no more earthly connections. All would love all. Because they are "beyond" earth now and earth is far less important. Enemies become friends.Etc.
