Q&A Home > M > Marital Love

Some say that the marital love between husband and wife will continue in eternity. Is this true?

In the kingdom of heaven our Lord taught us "For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels of God in heaven" (Mt 22:30). Love is an attribute of God, "Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God" (1 John 4:7). As angels of God, we will love everyone around us; we will not favor husband, wife, parents, or children. We will not even think in this earthly manner. In the presence of the Lord in His kingdom, nothing else will matter.
