can you please forgive me for being angry with you all the time. You are just so blind. I can not understand why for the life of me that you would listen to God, when he says that there are no marrages in heaven, but you never seek to wonder why. You just make up guess's. You just Go on with your life knowing that your mate is going to be no more, that your love for one another is just dust. If you were seeking like I have and asked God in prayer, why can I not keep my wife in heaven. He would have told you why, then you could have fallowed in the truth, and recived a wife in heaven. Why don't you seek the Lord your God for answers to questions you do not know? He is there waiting to answer you. To know my wife is not forever would kill me. How can I even love her whole heardedly knowing that this life is nothing more than ash. The Lord promise me a wife as a hidden tresure. You could have been the same as me if you were seeking him. Your whole family is nothing..why?

I'll forgive you, don't agree with you, but forgive you.
don't people say " 'til death do us part " when they marry? I guess its because well, you have no genitals, you have no sexual desires, you cannot procreate and you no longer have need of a companion to be one in flesh with (no flesh), so what wife?

If you don't mind my being blunt, you are purely natural in your thinking and have little if any understanding of spiritual things.
Perhaps you have never read that there is a marriage coming in heaven when all true believers will be eternally joined to the Lord Jesus Christ in a perfect spiritual union. Paul said the things of this earth are not worthy to be compared to the things that are coming.
Don't you understand that if you have any temporal blessings at all, be it wife, son, daughter, health, prosperity, that all these things come from God? If He is the One who has ordained a new order in heaven do you think maybe He has a better grasp on what is the better order of things?
You are far from grasping the sweet reasonableness of this word from the lips of the One who was crucified for the sins of the world, yours, your wife's and all those you hold dear:
"If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters—yes, even his own life—he cannot be my disciple. And anyone who does not carry his cross and follow me cannot be my disciple.
"Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Will he not first sit down and estimate the cost to see if he has enough money to complete it? For if he lays the foundation and is not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule him, saying, 'This fellow began to build and was not able to finish.'
"Or suppose a king is about to go to war against another king. Will he not first sit down and consider whether he is able with ten thousand men to oppose the one coming against him with twenty thousand? If he is not able, he will send a delegation while the other is still a long way off and will ask for terms of peace. In the same way, any of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be my disciple." Luke 14:25-33
Incidentally, I am a middle-aged man who has never been married, but after reading your comments I would never wish to trade places with you.

First off, of course you are forgiven. If some of these other people were true Christians, they would to. As followers of Christ, we are called to love like him...to forgive as He forgives. No sin is too great for God to forgive, and it is my hope that I will be able to forgive like that as well. Instead of denying you forgiveness, I forgive you and will pray for you.
To answer your questions, the joys of heaven will be so great, our life now won't even matter. You get to be with Jesus! And not only that, but you get to be with Jesus AND your family...your wife...and everyone that believes in Him. Our time here on Earth is full of blessings from the Lord because He is so awesome. But His greatest gift was when He stretched out his arms and died so we could have the ultimate: eternal life in Heaven!
I have seeked the Lord and asked Him questions that He has answered.....questions that were impossible to find answers to except through God. I hope this response is helpful. God bless you and all who read this!
~Through the love of Christ

I don't think there is any forgiveness needed. I understand where you are coming from, I have been there and was there for a long time.
The promise of Heaven is the lack of sorrow of any kind and eternal bliss.
What you feel for your wife is incredible! How wonderful it is to truly love someone with all of your heart!!!
Understanding what Heaven will be like is an impossible task. We just can not wrap our minds around how wonderful and majestic it will be.
I know it's this verse that is bothering you.
Luke 20:34-36
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: 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.
Though you will not have your wife as you do on earth, you will have the uncontidional love for and from every other soul in Heaven. A love more intense than you every hope to feel on this earth.
Praying for you.

The Lord doesn't tell us to question Him, for He alone is God, we are not! But He does repeatedly tell us to " trust " Him. I don't get all uppity about things I don't understand because I KNOW that my Father in heaven has always been faithful to me and never does anything that's not in the very best interest of His children. As far as marriage in heaven. My husband likes to think that we will be married. But that's not biblical. We are the " bride of Christ ." There will be no marriage in heaven. But that does not mean that mates who make it to heaven won't know each other. Maybe the Lord will see fit to placing them together to rule a planet. Who knows?? Don't try to take things from earth to heaven because the Lord's plans for paradise are so much bigger and sweeter than anything we've experienced on earth. Yes. I can forgive you.

Did it ever occur to you that perhaps God has something even more wonderful for your relationship with your wife in Heaven? Earth is just a poor shadow of the joy and happiness that we will experience in Heaven, so I think you can safely trust that God will care for you and your wife.
Besides, the Bible said that there will be no marrying and giving in marriage in Heaven -- not that the relationships formed here on Earth will be done away with. After Christ returns for His people, there will be no further marrying, but we'll still be with those we love in Paradise. And the best part is that we won't ever hurt them or do anything that causes them pain.
So we get God's love and the love of those we knew on Earth. Sounds like a win-win situation to me.

Most importantly you do not lose your identity in heaven. We see Moses and Elisha at the Mount of Transfiguration and they are still Moses and Elisha. In heaven Moses relationship with Mirum is not further apart but I believe it's even closer then temporal marriage - they are spiritually brother and sister in the Lord. After their souls were made perfect in holiness, their love for one another has never been more pure and real.
What will happen at the end of the world when our bodies are raised up in glory and our souls are reunited with them? What will happen after we are given the new heaven and new earth? These questions we leave with the Lord - which does everything perfect.

As Christians I believe WE WILL be married/ONE in heaven . It says what is BOUND here on earth will also be BOUND in heaven.
I believe "There will be no marriage or giving in marriage" to be the paper contract we have here, NOT the physical/spiritual union we have, after all... when we become marriage we become "one" with our partner.. part of you isn't going to heaven, you are going as a WHOLE.
This isn't the most common perception, but I am under the believe that if Adam and Eve were "married" in the garden with NO paper contract, but in GOD, that we will be married the same way. I believe that God will return things to how they were intended for Adam and Eve and mankind, BEFORE the fall, and that our lives like 1st intended for humanity. You gotta think about it, there's going to be mansions, trees, fruit, roads..The bible also says you will know your ancestors. Look these things up and pray about them, don't be discouraged....
Remember when Jesus was resurrected and his disciples RECOGNIZED him? Was he in FULL human form?... He wasn't minus any body parts .... and yes, we will be like HIM as well., for we shall see him JUST as He is. Being like the "angels" doesn't mean sexless... angles can take on any form they want... in fact fallen angles took on human form and had sex with human females and created a "race" of GIANTS called nephilim . Everything in perspective... read ALL the scripture that might apply, then ask the Lord to enlighten you.
Anyways there's MY 2 cents, hope this helps some.

You are forgiven for all,marige is completely different than we have understanding of them.
Marrige is to be considered as a symbol for mutual admiration of male and female.It is not a holy institution,which forbids contact to the outside world.
I consider marrige as the next level for friendship.Of course,there may be many different motives as to which man and woman can enter marrige,but nevertheless it is a level-up of friendship and nothing more.

Your wife is your love on Earth, and God is your love in Heaven.
In Heaven, you will be so happy to be with God that being with your wife won't matter.
