Jesus was asked this and his reply was that there will be no marriages or giving in marriages in heaven. How that works...don't know.
...Sometimes I'm really glad about that though...

In a typical wedding service the couple are wed until they die, and their marriage does not continue in heaven. However, in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints we believe that the power does exist to seal in heaven what is sealed on earth. To bind in heaven what is bound on earth. Very few people on this earth have this sealing power. Jesus gave the power to Peter, but it didn't remain on the earth. The power was returned only in the last two hundred years or so.
I am aware of the scriptures that talk about "in heaven they neither marry nor are given in marriage." You have to realize that Jesus was talking to some people who were trying to trick him, and who did not understand the sealing power which he had. So, what he told them was true, that you are not given in marriage in heaven. What he didn't tell them is that it can be done on earth and it will still be in effect after you die.
This power cannot be taken just from reading the Bible. It does not come from having faith alone. It does not come from good intentions, or reading about others who had the power. It has to come from another individual who has the power, and has the authority to pass it on.
In the Church of Jesus Christ a man can be sealed to more than one woman, but a woman can be sealed to just one husband. This is no gurantee, by the way, that they will be together. They both have to live worthy of this blessing.
If you wish to be married "for time and eternity," you will have to be a worthy member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and receive a temple recommend to be married in the temple by one having the authority. Membership is open to all.

Once we get to heaven, it won't matter. Jesus addressed this in Matthew 22:23-33.
That same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him with a question. "Teacher," they said, "Moses told us that if a man dies without having children, his brother must marry the widow and have children for him. Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died, and since he had no children, he left his wife to his brother. The same thing happened to the second and third brother, right on down to the seventh. Finally, the woman died. Now then, at the resurrection, whose wife will she be of the seven, since all of them were married to her?"
Jesus replied, "You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God. At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven. But about the resurrection of the dead—have you not read what God said to you, 'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob]? He is not the God of the dead but of the living."
When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at his teaching."

Depends on your religion. If you are mainstream Christian, it goes "till death do you part". The death would disintegrate the marriage, hence you would not be married in heaven. If your marriage vows are like some menonite wedding vows, the marriage is eternal, which means yes, you would be married in heaven, but in such cases as these, a second marriage is not encouraged.

I belive that the physical aspects of husband and wife, are null and void after the soul leaves the body. Love is in the heart. When in heaven you will see your love ones, but in Gods eyes we are all brothers and sisters, and should love one another, any ways.

None of all that will mean anything when you get to heaven, all the eartly things will pass away.
But a person who is widowed is of course scripturally free to re-marry

You will be with everyone else who has gone to heaven. There wont be any marriage or spousal precommitments there because it is heaven.

Once in Paradise, your will is supreme. Choose the better one. Choose none. Ask for a partner from among the creation made exclusively for Paradise. Do not choose any one. Stay alone. In all cases, your will is granted. Your will is supreme.
