Say you fall in love/marry in your 20s and your spouse dies young, then several years later you fall in love/marry again and spend the rest of your life with the second person.

Assuming all 3 involved go to Heaven, who do you wind up with?
Is it a 3some?
Do you get split in 2 and each spouse gets an aspect of your being?
Seems tricky.

Nice doctrinal conundrum, but an inane topic none-the-less.

Maybe you could create a religion out of it: Gather as many wives as possible, that way you can have bigger and bigger orgies in heaven. Or maybe Mormons already beat you to it...

An inane topic you felt the need to reply to, so, yeah. naughty

Believe it or not, an even more dramatic reversed version of this scenario is given in the Bible itself:




Matthew 22:23-30King James Version (KJV)

23 The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him,

24 Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

25 Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his brother:

26 Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh.

27 And last of all the woman died also.

28 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.

29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.

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

King James Version (KJV)

Well that sucks.

You only stay married in hell.

This is something I have wondered too. Most men aren't going want to spend eternity with the douche their wife started banging after they died.

Lets just hope that the correct religion is MORMONISM.

Neither marriage nor the need for procreation exist in Heaven. They/we are as the angels in Heaven (i.e. neuter). But in this scenario, you CAN still live with the LAST WOMAN you married. I don't expect you to understand how this can be, but intimacy in Heaven is inconceivably better than on earth. The difference is, in Heaven intimacy isn't physical--but SPIRITUAL. Spiritual intimacy is the MOST intimate, personal, and closest form of intimacy possible (and the most fulfilling).

And again...well that sucks.
