Origins TheologyForum for the discussion of Creation Science (Young/Old) vs Theistic Evolution. Discussion of Atheistic Evolution should be taken to the Discussion and Debate forums.
OK, no more feed back on this issue regards to the principle. Then I will ask a question of application:
Should a Christian couple divorce if they could not get alone after sincere and hard try? In other words, they could either painfully maintain the marriage, or they could happily divorce.
To emphasize the problem, let's assume that both of them would be much happier either stay single or re-marry after the divorce.

Could be and should be. It is about the origin of marriage and is partially based on the teaching of Adam and Eve.
Besides, I don't want to hear those discussions based on human idea and human reason. I want to know what human should do according to God's design. The emphasis is on God, not on human.
For example, you can try to tell me why does God tell us NOT to divorce.
Seconded. There's enough gobbledygook around here as it is.

The Sadducees asked almost exactly the same question ...

It's pretty straightforward.

Not straightforward at all. The answer is only enough to deal with Sadducees. A lot of detail is hidden.
Angels do not have sexual difference (like to discuss Gen 6:4 ?). We, in the Heaven, could (and most likely) have. The difference should be similar to the spiritual difference between man and woman on the earth.
Think: Would a 98-years old man feel that his 92-years old wife is still a woman?

Serves me right for getting involved really. How can you ignore the plain literal maining of this text!? How can you possibly think that text applies only to the Saducees? Do you apply that hermeneutic to the rest of the bible?

There is no dfference between male and female spiritually. Just like there is no difference between Jew or Greek, slave or free. See Galatians 3.
Think: Would a 98-years old man feel that his 92-years old wife is still a woman?
Think: In heaven will you be more interested in worshipping the risen and glorified Christ or more worried about where your octogenarian wife has left her false teeth?
