Will there be marriage in heaven? | GotQuestions.org

Today's question is, will there be marriage in heaven? In this video I'll answer that question from a biblical perspective. Then afterwards, as always, I'll share some helpful resources, so stick around until the end.

The Bible tells us, at the resurrection, people will neither marry nor be given in marriage. They will be like the angels in heaven, Matthew 22, verse 30. This was Jesus' answer in response to a question concerning a woman who had been married multiple times in her life.

Whom would she be married to in heaven, Matthew 22, verses 23 -28? Evidently, there will be no such thing as marriage in heaven. This does not mean that a husband and wife will no longer know each other in heaven.

This also does not mean that a husband and wife could not still have a close relationship.

In heaven.

What it does seem to indicate, though, is that a husband and wife will no longer be married in heaven. Most likely, there will be no marriage in heaven simply because there will be no need for it. When God established marriage, He did so to fill certain needs.

First, He saw that Adam was in need of a companion. The Lord God said, It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him. Genesis 2, verse 18. Eve was the solution to the problem of Adam's loneliness, as well as his need for a helper—someone to come alongside him as his companion and go through life by his side.

In heaven, however, there will be no loneliness, nor will there be any need for helpers. We will be surrounded by multitudes of believers and angels—Revelation 7, verse 9. And all of our needs will be met, including the need for companionship.

Second, God created marriage as a means of procreation and the filling of the earth with human beings. Heaven, however, will not be populated by procreation. Those who go to heaven will get there by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

They will not be created there by means of reproduction. Therefore, there is no purpose for marriage in heaven, since there is no procreation or.

Loneliness.
