Marriage in Heaven

Kate's been sort of like a fragile leaf the past few days. She kept me up (though I admit I didn't mind) until 3:00 this morning talking about how she's been feeling. Right now, God's distant. He's there, but He's not "talking that much". Sometimes, Heaven feels really close for her. Lately, it's felt far away. Through the cloudiness that comes with being up at 3:00 in the morning, I did manage to pick up on her major points. One of them was when she rolled over, turned on the light (blinding the two of us for a couple seconds), and said that she wished we could be married in Heaven. She kind of teared up, and I sort of just let her. The Bible says that we will neither marry or be given away to marriage in Heaven. I remember a sermon about that topic given a few years ago. That also depressed Kate a bit. I tried to say something meaningful, like we'll be married to the King then, but I could see that it was actually bothering her. The relationships we'll have in Heaven are mentioned in the Bible, but there really is no way of knowing until we get there ourselves. I believe I'll know Kate in Heaven. I also believe we'll know that we were married on this Earth. I don't know how our relationship toward each other will be, however. Will we be closer to each other than we will be to others? That subject led us into talking about Gracie, which made both of us cry. It was the "Tears in Heaven" questioning after that. Just a lot of interest surrounding our future Home at a time in the morning that no human could possibly give 100% effot to, but it was still a good conversation. My prayer the last few nights has been that Kate will feel Him close again. She knows He's there. She's just trying to find Him right now. She smiles in front of Aaron and cries in front of me. She's Homesick right now.
