Can You Get Married In Heaven?
Can you get married in heaven.?
On their way to get married, a young Catholic couple were involved
in a fatal car accident. The couple found themselves sitting outside the
Pearly Gates waiting for St. Peter to return. While waiting, they began to
wonder: could we possibly get married in Heaven?
When St. Peter showed up, they asked him. St. Peter said, "I don't
know. This is the first time anyone has asked. Let me go find out",
and he left.
The couple sat and waited and waited. Two months passed and the couple
was still waiting. As they waited, they discussed that if they were allowed
to get married in Heaven, what was the eternal aspect of it all. "What
if it doesn't work?" they wondered, "Are we stuck together
FOREVER?"
After yet another month, St. Peter finally returned, looking somewhat
bedraggled. "Yes," he informed the couple, "you CAN
get married in Heaven."
"Great!" said the couple, "But we were just wondering,
what if things don't work out? Could we also get a divorce in Heaven?"
St. Peter, red-faced with anger, slammed his clipboard onto the ground.
What's wrong?" asked the frightened couple.
"OH, COME ON!" St. Peter shouted, "It took me three months to find a
priest up here! Do you have ANY idea how long it will take me to find
a LAWYER?"
