say you get married to your loved one, and you agree youll be together forever, then she inexplicably dies
a few years later you marry another person, you promise her the same thing, and then she dies. you decide to stop marriage after that, and die a year or so later.
now if you get into heaven, and your supposed to be reunited with your loved ones, will both of your wives be there?
would both of them still be your wives?
or would a marriage even exist in heaven?

Matthew 22
Marriage at the Resurrection
23That same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him with a question. 24"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. 25Now 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. 26The same thing happened to the second and third brother, right on down to the seventh. 27Finally, the woman died. 28Now then, at the resurrection, whose wife will she be of the seven, since all of them were married to her?"
29Jesus replied, "You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God. 30At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven. 31But about the resurrection of the dead—have you not read what God said to you, 32'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'[a]? He is not the God of the dead but of the living."
33When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at his teaching.

I've heard this question before somewhere.
Mark 12:18 Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying,
19 Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man's brother die, and leave [his] wife [behind him], and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
20 Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed.
21 And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the third likewise.
22 And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also.
23 In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.
24 And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?
25 For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.

Are you serious? Nearly the same quesiton was asked of Jesus. let me find it.
Luke 20:27-40
27 Some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus with a question.
28 "Teacher," they said, "Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man must marry the widow and have children for his brother.
29Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a woman and died childless.
30The second
31and then the third married her, and in the same way the seven died, leaving no children.
32Finally, the woman died too.
33Now then, at the resurrection whose wife will she be, since the seven were married to her?"
34Jesus replied, "The people of this age marry and are given in marriage.
35But those who are considered worthy of taking part in that age and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage,
36and they can no longer die; for they are like the angels. They are God's children, since they are children of the resurrection.
37But in the account of the bush, even Moses showed that the dead rise, for he calls the Lord 'the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.'[c]
38He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to him all are alive."
39Some of the teachers of the law responded, "Well said, teacher!"
40And no one dared to ask him any more questions.
Same stories is Mark 12:22-24 & Matthew 22:27-29 too.
In Matthew He says "29Jesus replied, "You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God."
SO TRUE!

Jesus Christ was asked the same question. His answer answer was they would be living in a different state in heaven.
