Q: If a woman has had three different husbands on earth, which one will
she wind up with in Heaven?
A: Thank you for your note to Truthbook.com,
a website dedicated to the teachings of The
Urantia Book.
When
you get to heaven, you will be reunited with those people with whom you
enjoyed some kind of meaningful relationship. This will possibly
include parents, children, friends, and yes - spouses. No meaningful
relationship is ever lost - nothing of real value ever disappears in
the universe, and all relationships with other personalities are an end
in themselves, with eternal value.
However, it is an error to think
that a
person's marriages continue in Heaven. While we do enjoy the
fellowship of many personalities - both those that we knew on Earth,
and many new ones - our life after death is for the purpose of guiding
each individual along the Father's ascension plan; the only goal of
that plan is to reach Paradise. Our mortal, physical bodies are not
resurrected; instead we acquire a new form which is not physical. We no
longer reproduce
children, nor do we have sexual experiences as we do on earth. There is
no need for marriage in Heaven as we know it on Earth, as that part of
our earthly existence is over.
In truth, we will be
more like the angels when we resurrect into our new life after death.
Here is a passage from The Urantia Book which explains something of the
way we will be after we pass from this life:
(38:2.2)
Though seraphim are very affectionate and sympathetic beings, they are
not sex-emotion creatures. They are much as you will be on the mansion
worlds, where you will "neither marry nor be given in marriage but will
be as the angels of heaven." For all who "shall be accounted worthy to
attain the mansion worlds neither marry nor are given in marriage;
neither do they die any more, for they are equal to the angels."
The
"Mansion
Worlds"
are those stopping places on our way to Paradise, and
where we will meet our loved ones from our earth-life.
The
only part of us that
survives this
earthly life is our immortal soul, which is spiritual in nature. While
you will know and be known,
remembered and remembered by, your former earthly associates, the bonds
of marriage that you enjoyed on earth will not continue into your
eternal
adventure.
Thanks very
much for this interesting question.
I hope that this reply has been
useful to you...
