So does that apply to marriage as well? I know the Bile says that no one will be given in marriage in Heaven, but what about those who were "bound" in marriage on earth? Will they remain married in Heaven? And what about those who have been married more than once or were married to more than one person?
Also, what about all of our other relationships on earth? (friends, family, et.). As for all of those in Heaven, will we still even know the same people, or will we know anyone anymore?
And can you back the answer(s) with scripture?

Luk 20:29 Then there were seven brothers. And having taken a wife, the first died childless.
Luk 20:30 And the second took the wife, and this one died childless.
Luk 20:31 And the third took her, and likewise also the seven did not leave children, and died.
Luk 20:32 And last of all the woman died.
Luk 20:33 Then in the resurrection, of which of them does she become wife? For the seven had her as wife.
Luk 20:34 And answering, Jesus said to them, The sons of this world marry and are given in marriage.
Luk 20:35 But those counted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage.
There is no marriage in Heaven. I believe we will recognize those who are our brethren here on earth in Heaven. It wouldn't make sense to not be able to know them in Heaven. The love and fellowship we have with our brothers and sisters in Christ here, will carry over into Heaven, where we will have our love and fellowship in fullness, not inhibited nor stained by our flesh.

Most Christians believe that we will know each other in Heaven, believing the following:
"I do believe that when we go to heaven we will be able to recognize EVERYONE who made it. When Elijah and Moses appeared with Jesus in the Transfiguration, the disciples recognized them! In Luke 16:19-30, the rich man, Lazarus, and Abraham recognized each other."
However, Christian marriages usually include the phrase "Until death do us part", basically meaning that marriage ends when life ends.
Latter-day Saints (Mormons) stand separately on the issue, believing that the restored priesthood authority of God that allows the line:
"What is bound on earth will be bound in Heaven"
also allows a worthy husband, wife, and children to be sealed together for time and all eternity.
Mormons have the same views on friends in Heaven.

What, not who!
The scripture has nothing to do with "bound in marriage".
It is a very powerful scripture about the prayer of faith.
The Lords prayer says "Thy will be done on earth as it
is in heaven" It is refering to God's will.
I think we will know who people are, but all our
perceptions of life and desires will change in heaven.
Our perspective will be completely different and
I look forward to that!

Jesus when asked this question said" Ye do err not knowing the scriptures. There is no giving in marriage or taking in marriage in heaven." Paul said in one of the letters he wrote to one of the seven churches that"It does not appear what He will be like when He appears, but we shall be like Him." Ibelieve that we shall be a glorified state of being and unconcerned with things of the flesh. I hope this helps T4

No. The vows of the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony are pretty clear:
"Until death us do part"
Some Sacraments are indelible: Baptism, Holy Orders, Confirmation (Chrismation)...and give a person Sacramental "character". Marriage does, too - but not indelible - not permanent - that "married" character (being made ontologically different) ENDS at the death of one spouse or the other.

i'm unsure I fairly understand your question, yet what you're quoting from is Matt sixteen: 19, while Christ gave authority to Peter with the aid of fact the 1st pope, the 1st chief of His Church. And so it somewhat is with the earthly leaders (Christ is the purely precise and Heavenly chief of the church) that *they* have the authority to assert what's authorized and not allowed. If the pope says abortion is faulty (certain) on earth then it somewhat is faulty (certain) in heaven besides.
