In Matthew 22:23-30, Jesus is questioned by members of a sect called the Sadducees:
The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him, Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.

They attempt to make a mockery of the resurrection using the Law of Moses by concocting a strange scenario. In this example, the oldest of seven sons died leaving no heir. Ultimately all seven brothers have his widow. Finally they ask this question as their punch line:

Therefore in the resurrection whose wife will she be of the seven? for they all had her.

Jesus replies and cuts right through their feeble attempt.

Matthew 22:29. Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.

Luke 20:35,36. But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage;neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.

We don't know that much about what our relationship to each other will be in the kingdom of God. What we do know is that there will be no "gender distractions." All eyes will be on the Bridegroom.

1 Corinthians 2:9. But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him.

Acts 4:33. And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus:
and great grace was upon them all.

Romans 6:5. For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also
be united with him in a resurrection like his.

Philippians 3:
7
But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ.
8 Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord,
for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ.
9 And be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith;
10 that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings,
being conformed to His death,
11 if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.
