Did Jesus give a hint that in 'Kingdom of Heaven', they will not marry?

At Matthew 22:30 it is written, "That same day the Sadducee, who say there is no resurrection, came to him with a question. "Teacher," they said, "Moses told us that if a man dies without having children, his brother must marry the widow and have children for him. Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died, and since he had no children, he left his wife to his brother. The same thing happened to the second and third brother, right on down to the seventh. Finally, the woman died. Now then, at the resurrection, whose wife will she be of the seven, since all of them were married to her?"
Jesus replied, "You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God. At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven."
Does it mean according to Jesus in Kingdom of heaven none would marry, they would all be in a kind of live in relationship.

How do angels spend their time in heaven is not known and having said this it would not be wise to speculate. May be angels do not need relationships. Nothing is written about the joys of heaven. And how one would have joy there is any one's guess.

I wonder whether Jesus said that they would be like angels. Translators added many things, to capture people's imagination.

Now you are talking sense achilles. You are absolutely right. Each one intepretes the bible the way he/she understands it as. I don't bother about these things but live a life that is minus hurts to others.

Hi Achilles,
My, you do post some interesting topics!
I believe that in the Kingdom of Heaven, we will not exist as flesh and blood but as spirits. Thus the concept of marriage would not apply because the primary reason for marriage is to reproduce after our own kind (sure we can reproduce without getting married, but it ought not to be so). We will exist as God exists - as spirits. And we will not need to reproduce, because we would never die.

none would marry i guess, because all of us will no longer have an idea about our previous lives? nothing matters anymore but to sing praises to the Lord. I really don't know, space in my lot is not enough if i will post all my questions about the bible, it's not that i am in doubt, it's just that i am so interested with it ^.^
