I don't know. Do you think you'll be able to date mortal women during the Millennial age? Also notice that only the fallen angels did this.
I think I should wait until the millennium age to start dating again.

Matthew 22:30 When people rise from the dead, they will not marry, nor will they be given to someone to marry. They will be like the angels in heaven.
To God only married people are allowed to have sex (and only with each other) so since we'll be resurrected, we'll be like His angels in heaven (not the fallen ones).
So I'm sorry, there will be no sex in the hereafter!
To comfort you, I think you won't be missing it. God will give us something better than that!

Genesis 6 is very clear. The fallen angels had desires and were attracted to the daughters of men. It had nothing to do with them being fallen.
When I was 30 and 40 I would ask people in my church, when you got married of had your first child, did the world look like a different place, did bible verses have deeper meaning? Many told me after these events the world had changed for them. They understood many bible verses in a new light. A friend told me, when he had his daughter he finally understood how GOD sees us as children. One man said, after getting married, he felt closer to GOD.
I can see how marriage has the potential to transform people to be more Christlike, and so, feel closer to God. Marriage is all about separating, coming closer, separating, coming closer in repeat over small things (minor argument about what to eat, silent treatment, etc.) and big things (major lies, etc.) and there is a lot of forgiveness and compromise involved during this process. This back and forth of forgiveness and reconciliation mirrors our own relationship with God.
Be aware there can be great bias in responses when you ask questions from marrieds and singles, both sides proclaiming their lifestyle is better than the other.
But Genesis 6 happened in THIS age, not in the next.
Moreover, you will not only be raised up immortal, but perfect in Christ as well. You won't be able cause your transformed self to commit sin because you'll have the Lord's nature in that you'll be pure in heart and mind. So don't worry about dating and sex. You're not going to miss either one anyway.
1 John 3:2 Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.
This isn't about one being better than the other. It's about the affect being married and having children has on a person. It changes your views.
I've had people tell me their children are their life. They could not live without them.
Sounds like they are finding life in their children and not God. This isn't good for them or their children.
All relationships change us...not always for the better.
Nothing is verified one way or another but the Old Timers, people back in the 60s and 70s, Preachers preached back then the best moment in a person's life they are most physically fit will be how they look in Heaven.
They got this belief because many times people would dream or have visions of past away relatives and they always appeared younger.
Be like me seeing my Aunt at an age I wouldn't ever be able to have ever seen her before, but you know the whole time this is your Aunt.
To them having children gives them a purpose. They add meaning to their lives. Nothing wrong with that. Ask a parent what their children mean to them.
They are my life...my Daughter is a brilliant woman who has succeeded in every adventure she sets her mind towards.
My Son,
Well, get a Websters Dictionary and look up the meaning to the word, Good.
Now, think opposite of what you just read.
That is what my Son majored in while in School.
He's my special Knucklehead <3
The gift of children is one I know well. I enjoy my children immensely. But if someone's purpose is other than the glory of God, that purpose has been compromised. Children can be a part of that purpose but should never supplant it.
If you haven't already found your purpose, then you have nothing to contribute to a wife or family. Children are not for feeding your emotional lack. You are to provide for them, not the other way around.
