Why There Won’t Be Marriage In Eternity by simeonabio(m): 12:56pm On Apr 08, 2017
Mat 22:30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
One of the most confused set of people in the Bible days are the Sadducees, you might ask why? Because these religious folks don’t believe in resurrection yet came to Jesus asking who among the seven brothers will marry a woman in the resurrection, since the seven married her on earth
Mat 22:23 The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him,
Mat 22:28 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.
Reading the two verses (Matthews 22:23 and Matthews 22:28), you will understand why they are confused!
You don’t believe in resurrection, yet you are asking “Whose wife will she be in the resurrection for the seven brothers married her”
The major trust of this write up is based on the question the Sadducees asked and the apt response of the Lord Jesus Christ
Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her. (Matt 22:28)
Mat 22:30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
The response of the Lord is worth pondering upon why there won’t be marriage in eternity or in the resurrection. There are some deductions from Jesus’ statement

1. Death brings a permanent end to marriage. From Jesus’ statement, for in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage… It is dead people who will experience resurrection. This agrees with what Paul wrote in Rom 7:2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.

2. It is wrong to remarry after the ones’ spouse dies because it will be tantamount to adultery. Since he/she has passed on, you are supposed to wait to join him/her to continue the marriage. Remarriage will not possible if there is marriage after death or in the resurrection.

3. The state of our being changes from mortal to immortal: Jesus says “In the resurrection, they shall be like Angels of God in Heaven.” Marriage was never ordained for Angels, but for man. In the resurrection, man will be changed to receive a celestial body (that is heavenly) no more dying, more need to procreate in order to fill the vacuum the dead ones create. One sole reason for marriage is to procreate, and fill the surface of the earth. There won’t the need for that any more, since there will be change of the state of man, from dust to celestial. People won’t die any more. So there is no need for marriage in eternity.

Marriage is over-rated, It should never have existed.

It means you never understood the whole concept of marriage.
