Are We Still Married in Heaven??

Question

My husband and I have argued about this....are you still married after death? I say no because what happens if a widower re-marry....then do they have two, three husbands after death?? We are allowed to re-marry when a spouse dies because the union has been cut, but...doesn't man and woman long for one another? I mean Adam was made and was in complete union with God. There was a close bond, but yet God knew Adam needed a woman. Thus woman was created, so wouldn't this still be the case in heaven? Wouldn't we still long for human companionship...are does in end after death???

Please respond if you believe in God, because I do believe in Him, thus I am seriously looking for answers from those that believe because this is something that I have wondered for a while, and I am very curious about what other people think that believe in life after death.

Answer 1

If you like - yes

Answer 2

That's a really good question to ask, maybe that is why so many widows don't remarry? I never thought of it that way. These are the kind of loop holes that bother me most about religion. You could talk to your husband about it and make an agreement. Perhaps to always love on another but when death does you part you can find another. Than if you do reunite in a heaven afterlife you both are okay that the other has lived a part of their life married to another. Sounds complicated though doesn't it???

Mark 12:

saying, "Teacher, Moses wrote for us, 'If someone's brother dies, leaving a wife but no child, his brother must take the wife and raise up descendants for his brother.'
20


Now there were seven brothers. The first married a woman and died, leaving no descendants.
21
So the second married her and died, leaving no descendants, and the third likewise.
22
And the seven left no descendants. Last of all the woman also died.
23
At the resurrection (when they arise) whose wife will she be? For all seven had been married to her."
24
Jesus said to them, "Are you not misled because you do not know the scriptures or the power of God?
25
When they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but they are like the angels in heaven.





When you are dead you will not crave companionship because you will have true inner joy and connection and intimacy (non physical) with all people.

Answer 4

Oregon flower is correct - no marriage in heaven - and no male or female - we will be like Christ.
Billybozobones has given a good scripture.

If you read Rev ch21v 4 the former order of things has passed away. Nothing will be remembered from this life - but we will know and recognise our loved ones - but in a different way - a much better way - we will know perfect love.

Answer 5

It is not that we won't know and recognize each other but once we leave this earth marriage is dissolved along with sexual needs and lots of other earthly ways. I'm sure that we will recognize someone as our loved one but the relationship we lived on the earth is then past. I have a little baby in heaven that I can't wait to see. He is not going to be my child in relationship but as this verse below as the angels ( not an angel but like an angel)

Mt:22:30: For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.

Answer 6

If someone is drawn to a certain person (or soulmate or partner) in their life then it is my firm belief that they continue to be with that person after they have both passed over. I have heard a lot of mediums talk about wives who have joined their husbands and so on. Also I have heard them talk about wives for example who don't join up with their husbands but perhaps a loved one long ago that they had a special bond with. I don't think you are married in a legal or commitment sense, you just choose wo to be with in the next life - if you want to that is!

Answer 7

Well, Islam says that you will be married in Heaven. If a woman had remarried 3,4, or 5 times, she will get the husband she loved the most or the one she really wants.
Prophet Muhammad said that in heaven, every soul will have what it desires. Islam says that if you desire your husband is heaven, God gives him to you!

Answer 8

It depends on your vow. Did you say 'till death do us part'? Or did you go the Mormon route so you'll have many partners in Heaven? If the former, you are released from your vow upon the death of EITHER of you. If the latter, you're stuck.

Answer 9

My understanding is that heaven itself is a completely different relm with very little connection to this life and it`s earthly pleasures. We will have different bodies altogether. No hunger, no thirst so no need for food or drink or even money. No anger or hatred, thus no need for war, conflict or prisons. No illness or handicaps, no need for hospitals or medicines. No lust or sexual hunger or birth of offspring, no need for sex or marriage! Besides all of that, it will all be more wonderful than we could ever imagine. and we will be with our Lord and savior, what more could we ask for?

Answer 10

Does the body marry or the soul marry. If body marries you are free and clear after death. If soul marries you are in deep trouble.
But all souls are same, so soul marrying is vulgar, and illegal.
So in my analysis you are free after death.
According to Jihadis they are promised 72 virgins for suicide bombing, so the wife would not be angry.

Answer 11

The way I understand this, the answer is no, even though I had hoped different, but as usual God does everything just and right, so no worries, we will all be together with HIM!!! :)
