It was ideas like this that convinced me heaven wasn’t real when I was young.
Like, some woman’s first husband dies. She eventually remarries and is happy. Later she dies and goes to heaven. Who is she with there? Husband 1 or 2? Both? Neither? The only way it makes sense to me is if people are essentially high 24/7 so nothing bothers them. But, is that really so heavenly?
Now there were seven brothers among us. The first married and died, and having no offspring left his wife to his brother. So too the second and third, down to the seventh. After them all, the woman died. In the resurrection, therefore, of the seven, whose wife will she be? For they all had her.” But Jesus answered them, “You are wrong, because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God. For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. And as for the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was said to you by God: ‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not God of the dead, but of the living.”

That’s why she’s supposed to throw herself upon the burning funeral pyre when her husband dies.
You know Jesus answered this exact question?
Matthew 22:25-32 ESV
Nice.
TL;DR angels are whores.
What a shitty and inconclusive answer
It’s perfectly clear. You will not be married, nor desire marriage in the afterlife. Your focus will be upon the glory of God.
