Question
I don't understand something that I found out in church class yesterday. So here it is. If me and my husband are not sealed togther but he is sealed to his mom what happens? Does he get to go be sealed with them while me and my family go floating around or do we get another chance afterwards to get sealed or (this one someone mentioned) if I did all the thing like teample promises and other things then I would be given a "new husband". I do not like this one and I do not want anyone but my husband. Forever and eterinty. If he is not ready to do things the church may want us to I don't care. I love him with all my heart and soul. He is my world and I do not want anyone but him EVER. So if anyone knows anything about this then feel free to let me know. Thanks

Never give up. Fight! Make love your weapon and your shield - your offence and defence. Jesus will help you. Look to Him.
You know I love you too!!!!
Amen! I'll keep watching as this expands. Hugs,
This topic is a little tricky and obviously very deep. We might want to talk in person about this one more.
I know exactly what you mean, and I can understand your worry. Although, if we live such a life that we become celestial beings and are living in the presence of God- at that point we will understand all things and every thing will make sense to us.
Right now, we are only thinking as human beings and lets face it, we are all flawed in one way or another. We are not perfect, therefore some things, especially things pertaining to life after death, are hard for us to fully understand.
Whomever made that blanket statement in your class the other day, really should not have said that. It is too harsh and cold sounding. Of course you can't think of yourself with anyone but Eli. That is as it should be.
I think what would have been better to say in your class is, in some cases, and every one is different, there will be people that are in need of a spouse. People who don't marry in this life, people who loose a spouce before being sealed, people who divorce, etc...
Because in the celesital kingdom there will only be celestial families. (Families being sealed in the temple of the Lord and ones that have kept their temple covenants.) There will be a need for some to have the chance to gain a spouse in the life after this one. If we as members of this church truly believe that there is life and families after death, then this should not be hard to think of either. It seems very natural to me in that context.
There is a lot of scripture and doctine that could help you better understand this topic, and I could get you that so you could read about it and pray for understand your what you feel personally on that.
There is a lot that I don't know for sure and I've been a member of this church all of my life.
But here is what I know for sure. Our Heavenly Father is perfect, and he loves each one of us individually. He knows exactly what I need and what you need in this life and the next. He has a plan for us, and it is a PERFECT plan. He will provide a way for us to be happy in this life and the next. We just have to do our best to live by His commandments and the rest will fall into their right place.
You are such a good example of what a loving and supportive wife sould be. Eli is a good man, and he will commit to the church more fully through your example. You doing great and your father in heaven sees that too!
AH HA! Just when I found the answer, I get on and discover Shana covered it perfectly. You missed class # three or so where they discussed Christ's atonement.
The bicycle parable is great for this example and a great book to look at is Stephen Robinson's Following Christ.
It sums it up with if we are doing all we can do, Christ covers the rest. Hope is not lost because we have not attained perfection today.
That keeps me going on--and being a great example is my key.
I'm just a random passer-thru-er here, but here's my two cents:
We receive that which we strive for...if an eternal marriage and family is where our heart is at, our actions will follow.
That's the sweet and simple truth of the Gospel.
