When our souls are in heaven, during that intermission, "they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven."

No, Jesus said, in the context of His debate with the Saducees, that, "Those who attain to the Resurrection of the Dead neither marry nor are given in marriage, etc." He was talking about complete body-and-soul people, male and female, not interim, disembodied souls.

But as to that state of the soul's separation from the body, maybe we're confusing ourselves because we are thinking there is time involved.

On second reading I can see you're right. So I'm as confused as ever.

Which is OK. I'm always saying to my RCIA gang, "It's.. a. .. uh.. mystery..." `

Effin ineffable....
