The defense,* "No one will get married in heaven, but if they got married before then that will still be in place," is correct, though, as Christ says:
For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
"Marry" and "given in marriage" correspond to "get," here, as far as I can tell. ("Given in marriage" is for woman who were sold into marriage, basically, unless I'm misunderstanding the point of the word "given" in this.)
*EDIT: The technical defense, that is, that there is no absolute logical contradiction between what Jesus said and what the LDS Church teaches. Whether the classical Church tends to be as "romantic" about love, as the modern LDS one does, is a different issue.
No, if you read the Matthew 22 passage Jesus is answering the question of the Sadducees. They ask, “ Whose wife shall she be”? Jesus replies, “No ones wife for we shall not be married in the resurrection”.
