In the New Testament, when Jesus is questioned about a woman who had many husbands, (each dying), in her earthly life and she dies and is saved along with her many husbands also saved, which husband can claim her as his wife, Jesus responds that there are no husbands and wives in paradise the saved will all be as the angles.
How do you understand that spiritual life? Are angles and the saved without sexual gender? What should we look forward to when we hope with All of our heart to be reunited with our wife or husband? What will the gender-less life be like and what will our relationship be like with those who we were husband and wife with in our flesh and blood earthly life?
I ask because my every day and night prayer to our Lord is to be reunited with the love of my earthly life, my wife who I most recently lost.
In heaven there is no gender between men and women which is why the Bible says that a man and a woman are equal in the Lord.
The only thing that separates a man and a woman is the flesh for the spirit and soul are the same.
The spiritual body for a man and a woman is the same, so there is no marriage between them and they are on an equal level power wise without the difference in the strength of the flesh.
They shall be as the angels in heaven for the angels have no gender, and are always known by masculine names for they are greater than people.
Gender only refers to the flesh and not the spiritual realm for angels and people.
Also God said He would make a new heaven and a new earth, and the former shall not be remembered, nor come to mind.
Which Jesus went away to prepare a place for the saints that where He is at they may be also the New Jerusalem, in which the first heaven and earth passed away, and were found no more and there was no more sea.
Which is a place wherein dwells righteousness and a place where sin has never been and sin will never be, and rebellion will never rear it's ugly head again.
Which Jesus said until heaven and earth pass away not one jot or tittle shall depart from the law until all has been fulfilled, which Jesus came to fulfill the law, but He did not fulfill the role of perfect King on earth yet for He came as a humble servant, and it must be done on earth.
Which that is what the millennial reign is for so Jesus can fulfill the role of King on earth, which the LORD shall be King over all the earth, and in that day there shall be one LORD and His name one, and when He has done that then heaven and earth shall pass away.
The saints and angels will then go to the New Jerusalem, and the angels and saints shall remember nothing prior to the New Jerusalem for it is associated with sin and rebellion, and will feel like they have always been there and nowhere else.
And they will not know anything from the earth except God and love for all eternity.
So the people will not remember their spouses at the New Jerusalem, or their pets, or their family, or their friends, and they could be standing next to them and they would not even know it was them from earth, for they will remember nothing prior to the New Jerusalem.
Which God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes for they will not know about those that were lost, and the pain of earth, and there is no pain in the New Jerusalem, not physically, and not emotionally.
There is no flesh in heaven so there is no marriage, and angels have no gender, and people with a glorified body have no gender.
