Personally, I don't think I would be able to move on... but maybe after some time went by, I could... I don't think you would have to explain anything in heaven though... I don't think I wouldn't want to get remarried only to not be lonely... I have a lot of family and friends that I know would be there for me... But that's just me... I can't speak for anyone else...

The Sadducee's (not Pharisees) asked Jesus that very question in Matthew 22 It is kinda a cool story:
verse 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.

According to the man written book of life ie:The Bible.
When you marry in front of god and promise to love , cherish , honour and obey when you die it is your 1st husband you spend eternity with.
According to the latter day saints book of mormon , the only way you can be tied emotionally and by the soul to your husband/wife is to go to the closest Temple and go through a ceremony that ties you eternally to that spouse in the after life.
According to the kuran , you spend 145 days in a solitary space of beauty or pain depending on how you lived your life and on the 145th day you are allowed to move on into heacen because you have been absolved of all your sins.
There are many different variations , so seriously this is a waste of time I was raised in 12 religions so , I have read 12 different bible's and the fact they're written by man I choose to just wait and see.

Jesus said that there is no marriage in heaven.
When two people marry (having never married before) they are to stay married until death does them part. If they split up, they are to stay single or be reconciled.
Jesus said remarriage is adultery. The only exception for remarriage is if your spouse has died and you marry another widow/er or someone who has never married before. See links below for detailed explanation.

I would hope that my first husband understands that he cant be replaced, but I know that he would want me to be happy. And if he passed away young, he would want me to find someone to be with.
I believe that when you pass away your soul goes to the other side and thats where you plan and do the research for your next life. I think your soul is only ment to be with select people in a life time, you dont meet up with your soulmate every life time, or else you wouldnt learn too much.
Life is a learning experience, if one person leaves too soon, are you accountable to that person for all the actions you had to take when they werent on the planet?

the afterlife is thinking WAY too far ahead, but if I was to die I would want my husband to remarry. Why should he live a lonely life being faithful to a dead woman? Plus I would want a mother for my child if I couldn't be there. Death is an awful thing, but two people's lives don't need to end in the process...

I think in heaven, souls probably have a lot more understanding and "one-ness" than we could ever assume. In the end of it all, they would want us to live our lives to the fullest, and love is a huge part of that. Jealousy is most likely the least of their concerns ( if they even have any).

The Pharisees asked Jesus the same question when He was on the earth . . . and he said there are no marriage bonds in heaven, no romantic love. So go ahead and re-marry if your first spouse died, it won't make any difference. We are all the Bride of Christ in heaven!

There are no husbands and wifes in heaven, there is only individuals. None of the earthly relationships will make sense anymore, it will only be about your relationship with god

If I die before my husband, he better not even think about remarrying! Heh ... Nah ... I have no idea how it'll work in Heaven. I suppose marriages just won't really matter up there. No way to know till we get there, and I don't wanna get there soon!
