I have no idea what the truth is to this, but I sincerely believe heaven is something like a spiritual field where we all exist but do not remember what we did before. So we would not reunite with anyone. We all just work together happy, in unity, serving God, praising him.

No, there isn't the marrying in heaven. But there is oneness in soul/spirit with family & loved ones.
Well, love is shared as the angels share love. So it isn't like you are married to your spouse in heaven.
But there is something called oneness of soul/spirit that is spiritual love. But I haven't gone to heaven yet to know exactly how that is going to be.
Also, the Church is the bride of Christ. And also, there are best men there also. So? Maybe different roles?
As the bride of Christ I get to sit at St. Johns table at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. I picture it as many round tables.

It's your brain which gives you personality and your body which makes you male or female, when you are dead, both are rotting in the ground, whatever your life source is called, spirit, soul or whatever will no longer act like a human body so re-uniting with loved ones won't need to be on the agenda as you will be a new creation altogether so you won't care.

If your loved ones have their names written in The Lamb's Book Of Life (are saved) and you are saved then Yes, you will see them again in Heaven. You will know everyone by name and face who is in Heaven & yes you will remember who/what relationship people held in your life on Earth too.
But marriages will not occur, reunite, or continue in Heaven, only perfect friendship & fellowship with everyone on an equal basis.

Good question. Jesus tells us that we don't get married in Heaven, so this isn't a problem. I believe we will have an equal relationship with all in heaven...we will love everyone equally. So since we all love each other, then no jealousy, and no problem.

Jesus addresses that when asked that very question. We
will not be married in heaven, each person will have a
magnificent glorified body, and sinless like Christ we will
not think of earthly things. We will see each other and never
think evil of anyone. The things that the Lord has planned
in heaven are so wonderful He can't reveal them to us.
We think earthly and it's not the same.

One group of religious leaders, the Sadducees, tried to trick Jesus with a question about marriage in Heaven. They didn't believe in the resurrection of the dead. Attempting to make him look foolish, they told Jesus of a woman who had seven husbands who all died. They asked him, "Now then, at the resurrection, whose wife will she be of the seven, since all of them were married to her?" (Matthew 22:28).
Christ replied, "At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven" (Matthew 22:30).
There's a great deal of regret and misunderstanding about this passage. A woman wrote me, "I struggle with the idea that there won't be marriage in heaven. I believe I'll really miss it."
But the Bible does not teach there will be no marriage in Heaven. In fact, it makes clear there will be marriage in Heaven. What it says is that there will be one marriage, between Christ and his bride—and we'll all be part of it. Paul links human marriage to the higher reality it mirrors: "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church" (Ephesians 5:31-32).
The one-flesh marital union we know on Earth is a signpost pointing to our relationship with Christ as our bridegroom. Once we reach the destination, the signpost becomes unnecessary. That one marriage—our marriage to Christ—will be so completely satisfying that even the most wonderful earthly marriage couldn't be as fulfilling.
Earthly marriage is a shadow, a copy, an echo of the true and ultimate marriage. Once that ultimate marriage begins, at the Lamb's wedding feast, all the human marriages that pointed to it will have served their noble purpose and will be assimilated into the one great marriage they foreshadowed. "The purpose of marriage is not to replace Heaven, but to prepare us for it."
Here on Earth we long for a perfect marriage. That's exactly what we'll have—a perfect marriage with Christ. My wife, Nanci, is my best friend and my closest sister in Christ. Will we become more distant in the new world? Of course not—we'll become closer, I'm convinced. The God who said "It is not good for the man to be alone" (Genesis 2:18) is the giver and blesser of our relationships. Life on this earth matters. What we do here touches strings that reverberate for all eternity. Nothing will take away from the fact that Nanci and I are marriage partners here and that we invest so much of our lives in each other, serving Christ together. I fully expect no one besides God will understand me better on the New Earth, and there's nobody whose company I'll seek and enjoy more than Nanci's. The joys of marriage will be far greater because of the character and love of our bridegroom. I rejoice for Nanci and for me that we'll both be married to the most wonderful person in the universe. He's already the one we love most—there is no competition. On Earth, the closer we draw to him, the closer we draw to each other. Surely the same will be true in Heaven. What an honor it will be to always know that God chose us for each other on this old Earth so that we might have a foretaste of life with him on the New Earth.
People with good marriages are each other's best friends. There's no reason to believe they won't still be best friends in Heaven.
Jesus said the institution of human marriage would end, having fulfilled its purpose. But he never hinted that deep relationships between married people would end. In our lives here, two people can be business partners, tennis partners, or pinochle partners. But when they're no longer partners, it doesn't mean their friendship ends. The relationship built during one kind of partnership often carries over to a permanent friendship after the partnership has ended. I expect that to be true on the New Earth for family members and friends who stood by each other here.

Good question. You are united with your loved one but you are also united with everyone. See site below (chapter- what is heaven like) to see description of what heaven is like before you decide you want to go there.
