Q: Matthew 22:23ff, the Lord says, “You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God. For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels of God in heaven.” Does this imply that our marriages end with our death and even loving couples become unmarried in the resurrection?
In the resurrection there is no amnesia; if God made us forget our relationships it wouldn’t be a healing but damage. We can expect all our relationships and connections to our loved ones to continue, and to be transformed.
All the earthly concerns of a married couple: marital relations, birthgiving, child-rearing, possessions, etc., are part of this world, which is passing away. In the resurrection, in comparison, “they are like the angels in heaven” (Matthew. 22:30).
But “Love never ends” (1 Corinthians 13:8).
