But it was not God's purpose that this new species of life called 'man-kind' -- not to exist in heaven. Just as it was not God's purpose for 'animal-kind' to exist in heaven. God made 'angel-kind' for the heavens.
God's original purpose was for 'plant-kind'; 'animal-kind'; & 'human-kind' to live ON EARTH, not heaven. God's original purpose has NOT changed.
Regarding marriage - - Yes, God told mankind thru Adam, to 'be fruitful, become many, and FILL THE EARTH' with their 'kind'. This would be done thru the arrangement of marriage. God created 'plant-life' and 'animal-life' to REPRODUCE their kinds. Likewise was mankind to do the same; at least till the earth was FULL of the type of humans God wanted on earth, obedient, loving, peaceful people. But this does not mean you have to run out and quickly get married. Adam was not born married.
Additional Comments:
First, and foremost, The Bible never says mankind will ever go to Heaven but that Heaven and God's Throne will come to the New Earth to be with His new family (see Revelation 21). Only one human ever ascended into Heaven and that was Jesus Christ, the firstborn of many:
John 3:13New International Version (NIV)13 No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven -the Son of Man.[a] Footnotes:
Also see 1 Timothy 6:16 that tells us that only Jesus is now an immortal man as the firstborn firstfruit of God the Father. All others 'sleep' awaiting the Judgement.
Concerning marriage that is discussed throughout the Scripture, the Father's plan is to have a family and He honored mankind in sharing in this goal - He surely could of just created all He wanted in His Family but chose to give man a part in this as each of us share the hope of becoming His sons and daughters through Christ.
Paul thought it well of people to be solely dedicated to God alone but noted if the physical pulls of the flesh were such then it would be good to marry and do all that is expected from this sacred covenant God gave to mankind:
1 Corinthians 7:8-10New King James Version (NKJV)8 But I say to the unmarried and to the widows: It is good for them if they remain even as I am; 9 but if they cannot exercise self-control, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion.
Keep Your Marriage Vows10 Now to the married I command, yet not I but the Lord: A wife is not to depart from her husband.Marriage is made on earth. But the partnership could last till heaven.
Hera, goddess of marriage and Queen of Heaven (and the gods, after she married Zeus).
Others may believe different but I think so. Heaven is a place of God and marriage is an act of god, so why not?
This question assumes the both of you rate entry to heaven. To the married, heaven offers advantages besides "just being together" such as sex. This (at least in the Christian heaven) seems to be absent. This reduces being married in heaven seems to reduce to be "Will you have friends in heaven" which interferes with spending the whole day praising god and not liking any one or thing better. Again a "no real advantage" case. There appears no reason to be married in heaven.
In heaven, there is no marriage or remarrying.
Yes. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" Church) teaches that men and women are equal in importance to God and that He will reward them equally. Women will go to the same heaven as men. The Church also teaches that couples who were married in the Church's temples (or 'sealed', if they joined the Church after marriage) will continue their marriage in heaven. How would they remain married in heaven if they weren't in the same heaven?

Satan is not married. Mt:22:30: For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. Angels do not marry.
This question would depend very much on the specific religion you're following, but generally the answer is that you do not need to be married in order to go to heaven. You do not have to get married to go to heaven and you probably won't marry IN heaven either.
No, because the Bible tells us that "in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels of God in heaven." (Matthew 22:30)Openion:Those who were married before they died, will be gathered in heaven if they both were believers.But if one dwelled to Hell, the partner who went to Heaven will be granted a partner in heaven, wether a single human who entered heaven as well or a creature made specifically for that human.Moreover, those who died young will enter heaven at the same age, to be a blessing for their parents.People in heaven will be able to visit each other like in life, they will even be able to work, if they wished, for fun.. for it is told that someone asked God in heaven to plant, and God allowed him.All things we used to engoy in life we will be able to enjoy in Heaven, too, like eating, drinking, love,...
Copper is the gift for the 22nd year of marriage . Pennies from heaven perhaps
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) believe that marriages performed outside of the Temple are for "time only", meaning that the marriage will only last until death, and the couple will not remain married in heaven. If the couple is not 'sealed' together in the temple in their lifetime, they can be sealed together by proxy after death. If this 'sealing' never takes place, the couple will not be married to each other in heaven. A 'sealing' is an ordinance that can be performed at the time of the legal marriage or any time after. To be 'sealed', a couple will kneel at an altar in the temple and their union will be blessed to last throughout eternity. If they each live faithful lives, they will not be separated at death, but will remain together in heaven. So if a Mormon gets married and never has their marriage 'sealed' in the temple, and nobody performs this sealing for them after they die, they will not be with their spouse in heaven.
