Will all relationships in heaven be with God alone?

[Machin Shin]

I know this is deep stuph, but that's why I posted it here, so bear with me.

I can't seem to find the passage, but I read somewhere in the bible a while ago that all relationships in heaven will be with God alone, and that got me thinking. I have a GF that I am hopeing to marry, and I love her to death. I can't imagine liveing eternity without her, and I know she's a christian and we'll be together in heaven, but the Bible says that all relationships will be with God in heaven, so I'm thinking, what's the point of ever loveing someone if it simply won't last? yah, it'll last for 50, 60+ years, but that's peanuts compaired to eternity! I don't think I could stand not haveing a real loveing relationship with her in heaven. it's like I'd have been with her for 60+ years, and then *poof* nothing's left once one of us dies. I know we'll be together in heaven, but if all relation ships will be with God in heaven, then I will love her no more than some stranger I've never met before, and what is the point of even haveing a relationship then? this whole thing is makeing me dread heaven. I've always not really wanted to go to heaven, but this is just compounding the problem. I guess it's the fear of the unknown. no matter how splendid I know it's going to be, it just freeks me out that I'm going to be therein about 70 years. most likely less than that. and after that - ETERNITY in a place I've never been before, and there's nothing I can do about it. I know it's so much better than going to hell, but it's still freeking me out.

coments? questions? conserns? prayers? answers?

The way I see it, God is love, so heaven will be the most amazing place. When we get married down here on earth, we are married till death us do part and we love that person, but even that kind of love, the love that you are talking about with your gf does not compare with the love that God has for us and the love that we will have for God and for each other when we are in heaven. I mean down here we have sin in the world which which means that love loses it's effect somewhat, but in heaven we will know the true and wonderful power of love. Truely you have no need to worry about it, you are only tasting a little of the love that God will pour out on you and all of us and your gf also. I am married with 4 kids, I look forward to seeing them all in heaven.

I agree with Niki,

The love that God has for us, is more than you can imagine. You will be so caught up in His love, nothing else will matter to you. And when it really comes down to it, Jesus said, "Luk 14:26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple" our love for God must be as hatred in comparison. But I don't think it will matter to you when you get to Heaven.

... I can't seem to find the passage, but I read somewhere in the bible a while ago that all relationships in heaven will be with God alone...

The Bible doesn't say that actually. Humanity was created to have relationships amongst itself. That is part of the image of God, actually.

The Bible does say that we won't have marriage in heaven (Mark 12:25, Matthew 22:30)... but that means that we will have more, not less than marriage.

...I will love her no more than some stranger I've never met before, and what is the point of even haveing a relationship then?...

Because she will help teach you to be a citizen of heaven, and show you a glimpse what heaven can be like... and you can do the same for her...

It's something I think we as Christian have all thought about. We will see loved ones in heaven when we get there and also the prophets of old but remember when we are called our bodies will change and become like Our BLessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Everything about us will change, our mind and body. Our thoughts will change. We are in a different body now (carnal), so we think differently now (carnally), we cannot fully understand eternity now but in a coming day we will change and our minds and affections will be totally focused on the Jesus Christ (remember He will be our Sun). Remember we were made for His enjoyment, we were created to serve him.

Love in Christ,
