Will Our Earthly Marriage Partners Still Be Important to Us in Heaven?

“Those who did not experience marriage or had only a poor marriage on earth will be delighted with their eternal Bridegroom….However, I do envision that people who’ve had important roles in each other’s lives will continue to be friends—and that would include a lot of people who’ve been married.” - Randy Alcorn

NewJonathan Edwards, near his death…

It seems to me to be the will of God, that I must shortly leave you; therefore give my kindest love to my dear wife, and tell her, that the uncommon union, which has so long subsisted between us, has been of such a nature, as I trust is spiritual, and therefore will continue forever: and I hope she will be supported under so great a trial, and submit cheerfully to the will of God. And as to my children, you are now like to be left fatherless; which I hope will be an inducement to you all, to seek a father who will never fail you.
