As my sister-in-law said to me when I said there is marriage in the next world too. So you find yourself dead here, but you’re not dead, you’re alive and young and beautiful and altogether wonderful. Lawrence, my brother, was dying; he was making his exit from this world, and she in a very light vein said “I don’t want to go now, but do you think that Lawrence will be waiting for me and we’ll get married again?” Well, I was off in a light vein, too, and I said, “God is merciful, infinitely merciful!” So, let it go at that and you give any interpretation you want to what I have said. But just imagine, two people fighting through life like cats and dogs all on the show in one sense, and they want to perpetuate it? No, God is merciful, really is, and so you’ve had it. You’d have to be a stupid idiot to repeat it, to continue the nonsense until that moment in time when you’re resurrected. After resurrection there is no giving or taking in marriage; you’re above the organization of sex…a way beyond it.”448 ¶31
