Yet surely, when one of the couple dies, they are only apart for a while, until the other dies. And then the couple is reunited again.
So when you get married, you're saying that you won't see each other again after death. Which kind of puts the whole existence of heaven into doubt, and bearing in mind that marriage is a religious ceremony...

He's an all-powerful being. Can't he peer into people's souls and know if they are corrupt?
Reference someone?

but..Revelation!
you know we all go to heaven for a bit while the earth gets turned into some sort of paradise place, then we all come back and live happy ever after.
No?
