Hey guys

My boyfriend of a year and half just passed away. He was a Christian. And I have had this question haunting me for the last couple weeks: is there any chance at all that Adam (my deceased boyfriend) and I will still love each other in heaven? Minus the label "boyfriend and girlfriend", is there any chance of hoping that our companionship will last in heaven? I love him so much and I just want to know that there is still hope for our love. Keep in mind that I know there is no marriage etc. in heaven.

God bless you guys <3

You will love him even more in heaven... However it is not going to be a sexual love like you can get on earth... It will be much deeper and a way more lovey :p

Matthew 22:29 and 30 (NKJV)

29 Jesus answered and said to them, “You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God. 30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels of God in heaven.

It won't matter in Heaven, because you'll be focused on Christ there. We like to talk about Heaven as if it's going to be some grand gathering of old friends and family, and while there may be friends and family with us, I don't think we'll really notice, because we'll spend all our time glorifying Christ. Consider - a friend of mine's mother died of cancer when she was a freshman. Their family is very devout; I'm pretty sure her mom is in Heaven. Her father remarried. Still devout. When they die...Heaven. How awkward will that reunion be? "Hey honey! Great to see you after all these years...uh...here's...uh...the new wife..."

So, truth be told, bluntly and honestly, even if it's not what you want to hear...sure, he's in Heaven, but I'm pretty sure he's just standing in awe of the Almighty now.

This has the tone of a worldly view of love. Even married couples will no longer be married in heaven. The orientation of relationships will be different. The kinds of relationships we have on earth will have no need for in heaven.

I am so so sorry for your loss. I can only imagine the pain you are going through right now. I'm praying for you, and if you need someone to talk to, feel free to send me a PM. :)

as for the love, I kinda agree with Shouryu. I believe heaven is full of love, but it is a love between brothers and sisters in Christ, and a love between all of us and God Himself. Don't you worry, though. I PROMISE when you get to heaven, you won't feel like anything is missing. You will be filled with tremendous joy! And your boyfriend is currently rejoicing in heaven, worshipping our God, dwelling in His presence, and completely free from worldly problems. I hope you can find comfort in that truth during this difficult time.

God bless <3

Remember that God is the Creator of all Mankind. And the Creator is greater than the creation. If we will some day be with God in an intimate relationship as his bride, then that far surpasses any human relationship in my opinion. But I do believe that love for one another and a life filled with purpose and love will be the greatest gifts we find in paradise. I wouldn't worry about it. :)

God be with you, sister.

I truly am so very sorry for you loss. It is so hard to love sometimes because life happens and thing's happen and we are left hearbroken and distraught. Let me try and conformt you by saying the more it hurt's the more you loved, the more you had an impact, the more he had an impact on you. This is what love is meant to be. If we just carry on like normal then we have not loved as the Lord created us to.

When we face a loss the first question is will I see him again, because we are grieving, and so is your question is this time quite natural to ask.

Time does heal all wounds, I know that you will find that difficult to believe just yet, but truly it does.

God Bless You

only God knows. one thing for certain two things for sure,

Romans 8:28
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose.

It will be nice to see our loved ones again :) but I have a feeling that all of our eyes will be fixed on the most blessed one.

I'm sorry for your loss, I agree with the others regarding Heaven, we will all love each other and Christ, so yes you will still love each other but not in a romantic way.
