JJ - I have a question regarding the sealing ordinance of a couple.
Scenario: Couple sealed for time and eternity, wife dies, man remarries and is now sealed to wife #2. Who will be his wife in eternity? Wife one or wife two or both?

JOEL - They are both sealed to him and as such both enjoy the eternal blessings of the sealing. This sounds like the two women will have to "share" the one man. But we don't know nor can we fully understand how relationships will be in heaven. The problem is that our finite mortal minds can only relate to a marrige and husband/wife relationships in mortal terms. Those who do make it to the highest level of the Celestial Kingdom(the reason for being sealed) will be perfected to the point of demonstrating total unconditional love for each other and everyone; without any jealousy, pride, or selfishness. They will accept whatever God's will is and who they are with. If they do not posess these attributes they will simply not be there. I trust God will be fair and just and will sort things out for the eternal happiness of all involved.
