Well no, there's no marriage in heaven as there is no lust or sex in heaven although I believe you'll be re-united with your loved ones, I don't recall what the bible says about people you knew on earth and their roles in heaven but it says no marriage in heaven.

so if i was married with someone onearth i could possibly chill with them in heaven but not be married. and does it say there is no sex in heaven?

The thing is, we don't really understand heaven, accept that it is very good and we will be totally satisfied, I will not feel pain or sorrow or need.

Christ made some very specific statements that lead us to believe that our very nature will be changed in heaven, He tells us we will be like the Angels, that is why there will be no marriage. He was responding to some questioning by people trying to trip Him up. They were saying that well if I married my brother in law, after my first husband died and we all ended up in heaven, what would we do? Jesus said, you don't understand, we are like angels in heaven, in essence saying that we will not have these human problems and issues of which marriage is one.

So I don't think it is worth worrying about. If there is no sex in heaven, it will not be a problem because there will be something even better. But since sex was God's way to create human biological life, I doubt there will be a need for it, although I don't know.

I think the mistake is trying to compare our existence now to what it will look like in Heaven including marriage. It is simply beyond our comprehension to understand a world of perfect love not touched by sin. There will apparently be relationships, but in a way we cannot begin to understand now. Our view of the eternal is still blinded by sin and the effects of the Fall. The things we perceive to be virtuous and just are still included among the sins that Christ died for. No eye has seen and no ear has heard ... .

One of the hints given in scripture concerning our lives in heaven and afterward is in I Corinthians 13:12

Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

There is no doubt that in heaven and in our lives after Jesus returns to earth we shall have great knowledge. If I know my loved ones now I would think that I shall know them then. And love is eternal. The love that I have for them now ,if it is the agape love from God, will continue on with me in heaven. So Yes. I think most certainly that we will know each other in heaven regardless of how old a person was when he died. The body of Christ will know each other. Today's life is a preparation for that eternal life yet to come. However, the day is going to come when the earth is recreated or replaced after it is burned with fire that all of this that we know now will be forgotten as the eternal ages roll on. How thrilling to even think on it all.

Sex in heaven? Absolutely not. There is no need of it. The body of Christ will have been perfected and there will be no need for procreation. Our desires will not be coming from the needs of the flesh.

But also we will be members of the Bride of Christ! We will all be serving and glorifying and loving Him with an eternal joy and love.

this is a question posed to Christ by the temple rulers, trying to foul him up, and they did not believe in the resurrection anyways....

if there were 7 brothers, and one had a wife and died with out a child, and the second married her (out of obligation for his brother, redeemed her) and he also died with out a child, and the third did the same, and he too died, and the forth, fifth, sixth and allas, the seventh brother died, whos wife would she be in the resurrection?

the answer Christ gave, exposing their trickery again and again, she would not be any, for there will be no giving or taking of wives (or husbands) in marriage....

after the first resurrection, we (( the church)) are the Bride, and ((Christ)) is the BrideGroom. no other marriage is needed.

There will be no more marrying in heaven! But--I do believe that those who are already married are going to be tied to one another in some way. Family is very important to God. He thinks in that way. I believe that we will actually be situated in heaven according to our family, its ancestry all the way back to Adam and Eve. Like a honeycomb effect. That is interesting to me.

I doubt there is a Biblical basis for my leanings, but it is fun to think about.

FA, have you ever read the book called Heaven? I believe the author is Randy Alcorn, I read his book after my son was killed and I don't know how much is true or not........but it made me feel much better.
