This comes from a lack of understanding...
Things in heaven are of a higher order than what we experience on Earth.
There's no marriage in heaven.
That can sound like a "bad" thing to us here, but that's because we have such a small context for it.
Marriage is intimacy. As close as two people can be on Earth.
In heaven, and later when we all return to Earth again together, we know as we are known.
The intimacy we only glimpse here will permeate everything there.
The relationship we have there will be on a higher order than anything we are capable of here. Closer, not more distant.
There will be no hiding, no secrets, no shame, no guilt, no jealousy... Both my previous wives, #1 &, #2... And my next wife... #3... Will all be my spiritual siblings. They all know Jesus, therefore, they'll all be there.
Even now, today, my late wife was my Sister in Christ which is a higher order than wife.
We'll ALWAYS, for eternity, be best friends and Sister/Brother in Christ...
We were only Husband and Wife for a few short years on Earth.
When I say Sister/Brother though, that's still an analogy. I'm not talking about spiritual incest.
It's like when military folks say "My brother in arms"... It's a Brotherhood/Sisterhood of joined identity... United under one family, with The Father as our Daddy. Jesus as our first born Brother. The Holy Spirit serving the function of Mother.
There's no marriage in heaven, because what we'll have will be SO much better, closer, and more intimate... That there's no way to label it here.
I hope that helps.
