Agreed. None of us is perfect. Some matches are better than others, but nobody finds a perfect partner. Experience tells me that women are no more likely to find good partners than men are, let alone perfection. And those who like to show off how supposedly perfect they are? I have to wonder who they're trying to convince.
It's healthy to desire love, and to occasionally vent if we're feeling lonely, but life isn't fair. We live in a fallen world. It isn't all bad, of course. There's a lot of amazing stuff out there, a lot to be thankful for, but unfairness and injustice come with the territory.
Speaking of unfair, look at what they did to Jesus. The unfairness that he experienced is beyond words. Imagine being the son of God and having your body killed by random Roman soldiers after a mob stupidly chanted for your death, while letting a criminal off the hook. All this after healing the sick, teaching about love and wisdom through parables, etc. I'm also convinced that he felt the same kind of romantic feelings that we do, and knows what loneliness is like. Hopefully, this helps. I'm not trying to paint a bleak picture, but put things into perspective. It can be helpful to think how it must have felt for the creator of the universe to go through something like this. Or, more importantly, what he was trying to tell us about how our pain is understood and how we're not alone.
But anyway, who are those supposedly perfect people trying to convince? Others, themselves, or both? We have a lot to be thankful for, and should be careful to not let comparisons get the better of us.
In my dream of the New Earth, there were couples indeed.
But there's also lots of different humanoid species. Aliens if you may. Some of them resembled the monsters of legend. Some had green skin, some had tentacles on their face, you get the idea.
The place in general looks like its built by children. I'll leave that to your imagination!
What does the supposed existence of different humanoid species besides current humans have to do with the topic on this thread?
From your OP, you made it sound like heaven is a dreadful place that if you can't be satisfied now with the most beautiful partner or wife, you'll never had the chance to be that happy in heaven due to lack of sexual desire.
I just have to chime in and tell heaven is really the best place there is if you think like a little child.

Maybe not "dreadful" but still kind of a let down, and that God will change our preferences and desires when he already allowed us to have and pursue those down here. And I also believe if that's true, there is no such thing as absolute free will or choice.
I'm still upset about the whole issue when I originally made this post, it isn't helping that the world we are seeing is in a steep decline, especially this late stage. If my desire to spend time with a girl and also have children isn't restored in Heaven or the New Earth, the least that I can get is that God can give or lead me to someone to still experience it down here in a way that cuts off all the "normal" struggle with doing it.
