Matthew 22:29-30:
29-Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.

30-For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.

I didn't think this was controversial at all. Marriage is an earthly construct, and does not exist in heaven. Love does exist in heaven, but not marriage. And the reason is that in heaven we are like angels, and we do not procreate (note we are not "angels", we are simply "like" angels in that we will not procreate, and therefore will not need a single spouse to cleave to in a familial relationship, since we will all be in the family of God.

This is in contrast to Islam and their virgins that they expect to have sex with.

Well, marriage represents Christ (the groom) and the church (the bride).
I never said there was marriage in heaven, thats another group that thinks that.
Sex by the way is a gift from God.
