Are you married in Heaven?

[underpants]

Open question.

[Raster]

1. sounds very mormon...

[2naSalit]

5. Right?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. I'm divorced on earth, so I hope not.

[Warpy]

12. Same here. Thank goodness for the divorce courts.

No matter how religious folks try to gussy it up with hearts and flowers and eternal love and kisses, it's made or broken right here on earth and it's a total crapshoot whether you're going to stay married or not.

[Generic Brad]

3. I'm married

I don't mull over hypothetical unions in a hypothetical place/state/concept.

[WheelWalker]

4. Objection. The question assumes fact not in evidence.

[Takket]

7. Sustained

[Xolodno]

11. Faith isn't fact.

Facts, science, etc. can never prove faith. The two are mutually exclusive, not intertwined like the creationist nut jobs, blasphemers if you ask me, would like everyone to accept.

32. What about Faith Hill?

[Leith]

6. Till Death Do You Part

So, unless you both float to heaven on a cloud, you are not married in heaven.

[OriginalGeek]

8. To whom?

Some folks tried more than a few times here.

But I don't believe in any of it.

[Xolodno]

9. This guy named Jesus said....

Matthew 20:23-30

[23] The same day Sad'ducees came to him, who say that there is no resurrection; and they asked him a question,
[24] saying, "Teacher, Moses said, `If a man dies, having no children, his brother must marry the widow, and raise up children for his brother.'
[25] Now there were seven brothers among us; the first married, and died, and having no children left his wife to his brother.
[26] So too the second and third, down to the seventh.
[27] After them all, the woman died.
[28] In the resurrection, therefore, to which of the seven will she be wife? For they all had her."
[29] But Jesus answered them, "You are wrong, because you know neither the scriptures nor the power of God.
[30] For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.

[WoonTars]

25. I'm thinking if she's already done away with six brothers...

...and I'm number seven, no way in going anywhere near her!!!

[Grassy Knoll]

10. I Will Ask For A Transfer

[unblock]

13. Of course not, you're married in hell!

*joking*

(I'm happily married but the setup was just too good )

[Kingofalldems]

14. Who is Trump married to in Heaven?

[Xolodno]

20. I think if a lot of people found out Trump was in Heaven...

...they would say, send me to hell.

[customerserviceguy]

24. That was

superb!

[Solly Mack]

15. What have you done?

[dchill]

28. +1000!

[fishwax]

16. All I know is that it's Christmas in Heaven, every day of the year

[davsand]

17. I still enjoy his company more than anybody else. I'd be ok with it.

Not sure I buy that whole Christian Heaven -v- Hell thing, however. I figure we all will get that sorted out sooner or later, however.

18. Posts about religion are prohibited in the General Discussion forum.

See "What can and cannot be posted in the General Discussion forum" at the top.

But I don't think it's worth worrying about in this case because people aren't taking the question seriously.

[defacto7]

19. There's an 18th century gravestone that says,

Here we lie, my wife and I,
Together we both did die.
And on that day when trumpets trill,
If she gets up I'll just lie still.

[Sunriser13]

21. I hope so, or at least that we can choose to be together.

I lived with my soulmate for nearly 20 years, although he died short of our fifth anniversary (and my 50th birthday - we married on my birthday). May 16th will mark the 6th anniversary of his death, so I'm currently a maudlin wreck. Forgive me.

He was my best friend, most trusted confidante, and the greatest playmate ever. There were times we just couldn't shut up 'cause there was too much to say, but also the truly special times spending hours and hours and miles and miles not saying a word, just enjoying the journey and enjoying each other.

I have been highly honored to have been one of few who have known true unconditional love - what a wonderful gift! We loved each other so!

22. "I guess I had a different plan for eternity -

I thought I'd be single, I guess."

[snort]

23. Oxymoronical

[PsychoBabble]

26. What. Does. That. Mean?

[dchill]

27. Don't know, but I'm definitely married in Pennsylvania...

And it seems pretty legit there...

[Caliman73]

29. The problem with every religion is that they all have different interpretations.

From what I remember in the Catholic tradition, as one poster already said, there are no relationships in heaven. The point of heaven is to be one with god. Oneness with god is supposed to be eternal bliss without knowledge nor care about past or earthly relationships.

That is what was taught in religion classes when I was at school.

[FiveGoodMen]

30. Are you married in Middle Earth?

[orleans]

31. i think we travel in soul groups and our relationships vary from lifetime to lifetime

with mainly the same group of souls

(your husband may have been your mother, friend, child, passing acquaintance, stranger, or completely absent etc. in a past life)

suffice to say yes we are reunited, no we are not "married," our relationships with others become clear, and we continue to love (perfectly) those we loved here.

i'll go one further to add we love even those we did not love here, or did not know in this lifetime.

love never dies. it keeps us connected even when we are physically separated

imo

(why do you ask? everything okay?)

[Orsino]

33. No. We just went down the street to a JoP. n/t

[haele]

34. Couldn't find a review on Amazon or Yelp, so you're asking here?

Can't help you, never going to that place, "against my religion", as the saying goes.
But the county courthouse has a really nice secular wedding room with a really nice backdrop; they have a huge window that overlooks the San Diego Bay and North Island/Pt. Loma. And they get fresh flowers every other day.

35. Not sure, can I see a map?

Or do I need special glasses?

[MoonRiver]

36. "Heaven" is in the eye of the beholder.

That said, YES! 26 years and counting here!
