After this terrenal life.

Thanks to all good answers so far, you guys are all great.

Answer 1

Yes, love. Even if you are faithful in this life and do not marry you will be given the chance in the resurrection to be sealed to a worthy man.

Answer 2

In addition to many great answers, I think that it is important to remember that we need to do all we can in this life to accomplish these goals. You can't just sit around and never socialize and then expect to have an opportunity in the Millenuim. Sometimes there are events in our lives that keep us from getting married, but as long as we are doing our best we will have the opportunity.

You are still really young. Wait a few years before you worry about not being married. I am just a few months from being 30 and not married. (Of course I have been married, but that is another story.) I am just fine with my situation. When I found myself single again, I turned to the institute program to find friends. I met people through institute and have made some wonderful friendships. it was through institute and a family member that I met my Boyfriend (who is older than me and never married). He is a wonderful, honorable priesthood holder. But we really took our time and became really good friends before we started dating seriously. I would advise you to do the same. Go out on dates with the intention of becoming really good friends, then just relax and see what happens. Don't push anything. When you push to get married you will just make your life miserable.

Just get involved in institute or young single adults and make really good friends and it will happen.

I really love the way that I learned these types of things in my Seminary classes... The truth is that we don't know everything. Our Heavenly Father hasn't reaveled everything yet. However we do know that Heavenly Father is going to take care of all of it in the end.

I'd say that due to the fact that we perform this ordinance for the dead that you would certainly have an opportunity to get married after this life. The only problem with your statement is that it probably won't be in the Heavenly Kingdom. I believe this to take place in the Spirit World, where we go directly after death. This is the circle thats always split in half on the diagrams of the Plan of Salvation. It is split into Spirit Prison and Spirit Paradise. As Latter-Day Saints we believe that Jesus lead the residents of Paradise to be Missionaries to the people in Spirit Prison directly after his death on the cross.

However, I am sure that it will be alot harder to do alot of these things after death. We are here on Earth to do these things and they should not be procrastinated. Also, we will take our knowledge and beliefs with us, so it is unlikely that evil people will suddenly repent when they realize the terrible things they did in their mortal sojourn.

Sorry about the tangents...

Answer 4

Some very good answers if you have never had the opportunity to be sealed in this life you will get the opportunity in the millennium. But if you have squandered that opportunity you may not get another opportunity. God is fair and just, he also love us. For those who do not know they should look into their hearts and he will tell you.

Answer 5

According to our faith, only women do not have to marry in this life. You will have the opportunity as I have read others tell you during the Mellineum to do this if you die without marrying in this life. We are only supposed to prepare ourselves for marriage. This is because we are not supposed to be the agressors in this aspect of life. Make yourself worthy and the Lord will provide you will a good husband. Read your Patriarcal Blessing again. It may tell you how to know when you have found your eternal mate. Mine tells me. If I had paid attention to it when I was younger, I may not be divorced now.

Study your scriptures and pray. You will find all the answers to all your questions.

Answer 6

ONe can still make it into the Celestial Kingdom and not ave married. But, I did hear that those who wanted to marry and lived a Christian life based on what we believe God wants from us, but never got the chance, will get that chance later.

Answer 7

The purpose of the Millennium, when Christ returns, is to offer sealing ordinances of baptism and higher rites to those qualified, but they can only be done by mortals in the temples of the Lord with the help of resurrected beings.

The Lord had said that there are no marrying in heaven. He did not define at the time that marriages through vicarious ordinances may be performed in His holy temples by mortals. That was revealed later.

Thus is the reason and importance of the Lord's temples--to perform vicarious ordinances while in mortality for those unable to do for themselves.

Answer 8

Well, to enter the highest degree of glory in the celestial kingdom you HAVE to be sealed in the temple, but if you don't get married in this life you have 1,000 years of oppurtunity during the millenium!!!

Answer 9

Everyone will have the opportunity to have a temple marraige, whether they do it here, or have their work done during the Millennium, or by themselves during the Millennium.

Answer 10

yes!! there was this girl and she had terminal cancer. her patriacal blessing said that she would be married and have lots of children......she died but in the article of the NEW ERA said (stated by pres. hinkley) that she could be married in the heavenly kingdom. :)
