Scripture is very clear that marriage as we know it will not exist in heaven. We will be in union forever with the Savior who died for us.
Jesus provides a clear answer to the question of marriage in heaven by declaring that there will not be marriage there. The Bible does not give explicit or detailed explanation about this, but we can surmise that we will not need marriage for many reasons. When God created Adam and Eve, He told them to “be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it” (Genesis 1:28). Marriage and families form the building block of human societies on earth (Genesis 2:24–25), but there will not be procreation in heaven. Another reason marriage will cease in heaven is that there will no longer be a need to illustrate God’s relationship with His people. They will be in full union with Him. Marriage is a good and beautiful gift for earthly life, and it is not an eternal one. This should not be a concern for us. Whether on earth or in heaven—and no matter our age, relational connections, season of life, ethnicity, or any other distinguishing marker—our purpose is to glorify God’s Name. Both on earth and in heaven, we know that God and His ways are perfectly good and for our good. So we can trust that the gift of marriage is, indeed, a good gift and also trust that it is not eternal for good reasons.
Many have speculated as to why marriage will not exist in heaven. The Bible does not directly address these reasons, but it says that we will be like the angels in heaven (Matthew 22:30). What does this mean? Angels are called "ministering spirits" in Hebrews 1:14 who are "sent out to serve for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation." In other words, at least one way human life will be different in heaven is that our lives will be completely focused on worship and service of God. Second, it is clear that in heaven God will provide complete contentment and satisfaction; His people will live as brothers and sisters in Christ in perfect harmony.
The focus in heaven will not be on creating and building a family but rather on enjoying the family of God already designed in heaven. There will be no need to build families through marriage or raising children. No one will ever die again, and life will extend throughout a perfect, sinless eternity. Believers will dwell in perfect community with the Lord and one another for all time.
Should the end of marriage in heaven be a concern to us? By no means! When the apostle John saw what would take place at the end of time, he was not discouraged. Instead, he responded, "Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!" (Revelation 22:20). He knew that eternity future would be far greater than any human relationship or family in this life.
