Marriage in Heaven

Matt 22:28, Mark 12:23, and Luke 20:34 record the sadducees attempting to reductio ad absurdum Jesus’ belief in the resurrection by use of a thought experiment. This story often spurs on common questions pertaining to marriage in the afterlife. Two such questions are: will our earthly marriage continue into the afterlife? Will we recognize that we are married to our spouse in the afterlife? This article will attempt to show that Jesus’ answer to the sadducess in the above verses, do not address these questions. We should therefore not base our beliefs on the above two questions on these verses.
