When you get married, you say "Until death us do part."

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...

Thoughts?

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

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?

It wouldn't work any other way. There is no feasible alternative that incorporates a way of dividing the good from the bad.

Basically, in Heaven, there will be no marriage. It doesn't mean you won't see them again in a literal sense, but you won't be together like in a marriage.

So people who are born into poverty and disease, who live for a short period of time with no quality of life whatsoever at the risk of being ritually sacrificed for magic medicine, do so because God doesn't want to intervene, and is instead playing a little game of blind man's bluff with 6 billion suffering souls?

What a nice chap.
