I mean it's not in heaven, the place where forever is. This world is nothing but dust, and that is all your love is. We are suppose to desire heaven, not this world. This is the one thing that I hurt with my family of God.......what does your marrage mean to you, if in reality it means nothing? Is it pleasure? to breed? so you can fit in the world? Lonliness? If I was ever to take a woman, I would not beable to love God.....I would hate him because he used me for the kingdom, I would feel like a heavenly prostiute procreating for God. Why desire somthing that is nothing, as per the bible....Elesastics(all of it) 1 Cor 7:29, 1 John 2:15,16. you know this way end's in dust, but you love it why? Have you ever thought about seeking God and asking him why there is no marrage? you all seem to know the scriptures, but do you know the power of God? I know the power of God.....and I will win a wife in heaven.

Marriage is sanctioned by God, here and now.
Genesis 2:18 The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.”
Genesis 2:24 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.
There are parallels for the church being the Bride of Christ, those awaiting the bridegroom, the wedding of the lamb - it's all in His Word.

Desire heaven and not this world. This is a principle I can never quite understand, as to how people could let it rule their lives.. We live here, on this earth. We find love with our fellow human beings. We live for the here and now yet to some this life is worthless because it is not that place called heaven.
You can pine for a fictional heaven; I'll take the real love of my fellow human beings any day over that.

We may not be in heaven at this current moment, but God has not completely abandoned us to ourselves. Love exists, but it isn't the pure and perfect love that God has for us. You say you strive to be perfect and sinless so you don't keep nailing Christ to the Cross. Christ loved us and died so that we might be with him for eternity. So if that is the case and you have the spirit of God then you understand that we must show Gods perfect love. It is marriage that brings us away from the "ME ME ME" attitude and it is having children that we learn real sacrifical love.

It's saying that this is the man I'm going to be with for the rest of my life. They one to stand by me thru think and thin. The person I can come home to and share my dreams. Nothing more. Win a wife in heaven? what? do you gamble or play games for a wife up there? What about here on earth? You do know a wife in heaven won't help with kids on earth.,

Thou shall not make oaths or vows, Matthew 5:33, is it not clear that Matthew 5:33 comes right after the law of adultery and Divorce.
To make it clearer Jesus said, "they were eating and drinking, marrying and be given in marriage and knew not until the flood took them all away.
Is it not "good" to marry ?

Jesus said that there is no marriage in heaven. No need for it because we will all be like the angels.
If you feel that marriage to a woman will draw you away from God instead of closer, then of course you should follow Paul's advice and not marry. We must all do what we feel is the right thing according to our conscience. It is when we do something that WE PERSONALLY feel is wrong that we sin. It doesn't matter one whit what the world thinks about it, because all anyone else can see is the world from THEIR perspective. And that perspective is coloured by their personal experiences, their culture, their relationships...their journey. My way of living is likely not right for you, nor is your way of living right for me. All we can do is agree to mind our own businesses as we worship God in our own ways. (See Romans 14)
Marriage is wonderful. I have found that it has actually drawn me closer to God, not away from Him. He doesn't need to compete with my husband, nor does my husband need to compete with God. I find that by loving my husband, I am showing God that I love Him. We are commanded to Love one another. This means putting off one's self for the sake of someone else's happiness. A marriage - a real marriage - does not exist for our own happiness, for what we can get out of it by associating ourselves with a spouse. Real marriage is essentially picking one very special friend that you wish to make a project of loving for the rest of your life. Marriage, to me, is one of the ways that I worship God. By loving my husband and helping him to have the most complete, full life that he can, I achieve my own happiness. Jesus said, "Whatsoever you do to the least of these, you do unto me." I chose this one soul with whom I could share and trust my entire life to.
You're right. This world is dust. It is a temporary place-holder, a dress rehearsal. It is a wild adventure, and often a long hard road to travel alone. God knows this. We are disconnected from him by these perishable bodies. Disconnected from one another. Love is all we have. So He sets us out as children on our journey towards discovery but He says, "I am sending your brother/sister with you. Watch out for one another, encourage one another, carry one another when one is too weak at times. Keep watch over one another and do not fight. Instead, love one another. All you have is one another in this dangerous world, so cherish each other. I will see you both at the other end of the road."
It's a misconception that sex is love, and that it is sex (misnamed love) that holds a marriage together. Instead, it is this emotional devotion, this bond that God has encouraged between us, that defines a marriage. Sex is just a gift God gave us to use to communicate love to one another. Making love is the closest we can come to heaven or unity of souls here on earth. It's the best we can do. It won't be necessary in heaven.

How can you call God love? You have never seen him.
Love is real. Love is accessible. Love is here now.
