What's the point of marriage ?

The notion that if something isn't permanent it isn't worth it is false and I guarantee other aspects of your life aren't lived that way. So why single this one out?

Ok, please don't take offense but, you have a misunderstanding of heaven and Jesus. And when I say misunderstanding I mean a low view of heaven and Jesus. Again, NO OFFENSE because most of us have this view. Jesus is so grand, so glorious, so magnificent, that when you are in heaven you won't believe you wasted most of your life chasing meaningless things. He's such a treasure that any past relationship will be as dung to you. Your intimacy with your wife or your closest bond with whomever you are closest with will seem like the dust in the air. You will be so overwhelmed with His glory nothing else will compare. The problem is we are so earthly minded we thing the pleasures of this world will either rival or be better than heaven's. You must ask yourself why don't I see Him as great as the Bible tells us He is? God is the author of pleasure, the creator of joy, and it will be joy unspeakable and pleasures you've never known in heaven.

Marriage is a earthly covenant. It is to help you become more holy and pleasing in Gods sight. It is to show you how great the love of a spouse is, so that you know that the love of Christ is so much better.

You see, pleasures in this world are but a taste of things to come! It is supposed to get you excited for Christ's return! To fill you with hope and a joy unrivaled by non Christians. Yet, here we are almost dreading the 2nd coming of our savior. This is the problem of modern Christianity. Lack of passion and knowledge of our Lord. Again, if you have read this far, NO OFFENSE. This tends to rub people the wrong way.

What's the point in marriage???

So you can flirt with your wife in church.

I've always thought about having kids, but I don't want them in this evil world. So why not create them and raise them in heaven ?

Yes indeed - why not?

Think of it, you are basically telling God His heaven is not good enough. That He should add this child raising thing in heaven also. As if heaven is a cake and God hasn't put enough sugar in it for your liking. So you are saying you can create a better heaven than He can. Who do you think you are?

Because marriage supposedly won't be in heaven.

Ok so I went a little too harsh with some statements. Let me clear that up. "The nerve of humans" was not directed to you directly. It was a broad statement meaning that we all have the same issue about something. I remember being a kid and being disappointed that we wouldn't sleep in heaven lol. Or when I was older and being disappointed that sex wouldn't be in heaven. I just had a lack of understanding of God and heaven. Because God is infinite I will continue being ignorant about a lot. Just look i how screwed my explanations up lol

The kid in heaven thing came off wrong as well. You won't have kids in heaven because heaven isn't made for procreation. God said He is gathering His sheep for their elder Brother (Christ). When I highlighted the bad things of raising a child it was to point out that all of that has no place in heaven. Worry and things like sorrow will be eliminated. So in my mind, raising a child in heaven as you would on earth, brings both the joy and the pain to heaven. And again there is no room for the pain part. I thought you meant you wanted to take everything about raising kids to heaven. Honestly I probably shouldn't have even mentioned that.

Relationships in heaven will be more like brother and sister. It will be all the good of relationships to an infinite level. Meaning you will have whatever fulfillment you need met. The longing to have a child will be fulfilled somehow in Christ. The longing for a spouse will be fulfilled. You will lack nothing. Christ is like a Father, Mother, Brother, etc. All truly good and righteous longings will be met.

I haven't done a in depth study on heaven yet so I'll refrain from giving my opinion on the streets of gold etc.

Now for the lack of understanding part. I remind you that I began by saying no offense and saying that our knowledge is lacking in the things of God. If you actually think you will be living a life that you don't completely want, or one that is lacking in an area, you have a misunderstanding of God and heaven. I maybe wrong, but you seem to be stuck on what you think brings you happiness. That if God takes it away He has nothing better to fill it with. Like even though heaven is great, I would like it more if I had this. If that is true that's an issue. You are right kids are not a sin, they are a great blessing. However, there is a greater blessing than kids. And you will find it in Christ. Sometimes we have to let go of good to get the better. The problem is we have no idea what is better so we stick with the good and we think it's the best. Heaven will exceed your standards of joy. And it will do so without you having marriage or kids. Just gotta trust that God is better.

As for the joy in marriage part. Of course joy is a goal of marriage. It's not all heartache. I know this. I'm not that ignorant lol give me a little credit lol I just misunderstood you. I understand what you meant now. You are speaking along the lines of a "glorified marriage" in heaven. One where only the good parts exist. (I hope I got that right). Like I said, I thought you meant take all parts of kids and marriage to heaven, meaning the good and bad parts. My mistake.

Yes, because marriage is until death do you part. There is no longer death in heaven so there is no marriage. That is not the same as saying that there is not those types of relationships. It says we will be like angels. The question is what is it to be like an angel?

Angels are male. So what happens to women? Women will become only history in heaven? 😳 That is if God will not erase memories of the female population. And that is why there will be no marriage in heaven.

So much for women who want to be not only equal with men but want to be superior to men, only to be extinct in heaven. 😔

Because marriage supposedly won't be in heaven.

interesting discussion
God is not going to take away your wife in heaven if she is also a believer!
I mean she may actually die before you and then be waiting for you at the pearly gates. Is that what you think God separates everyone and we will all be in heaven ON OUR OWN???

Not really. Just that because there's no marriage in heaven i'm not gonna be in a relationship with my wife anymore. It seems like we won't even feel the same anymore or even enjoy each other.
