You know Jesus answered this exact question?

‭Matthew 22:25-32 ESV‬

Now there were seven brothers among us. The first married and died, and having no offspring left his wife to his brother. So too the second and third, down to the seventh. After them all, the woman died. In the resurrection, therefore, of the seven, whose wife will she be? For they all had her.” But Jesus answered them, “You are wrong, because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God. For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. And as for the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was said to you by God: ‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not God of the dead, but of the living.”

Yeah that doesn't make any sense, except trying to sweep the whole thing under the rug lol.

Basically merc's final mention where you're so happy you don't need marriage. Marriage is an earthly thing

What a shitty and inconclusive answer

Matthew: "Okay, but really Jesus, like if I end up fucking my brother's wife, how's he going to feel about that when I die? And you said earlier that I could fuck his wife. Everyone heard it."

“Be thou not of persistent questions, for in ruin ye may find yourself when annoying such as Me”

It's perfectly clear. You will not be married, nor desire marriage in the afterlife. Your focus will be upon the glory of God.
