Question: Will marriage continue in the Millennium?

Answer: God separated Mother Eve from Father Adam (she was formed from one of his ribs) for the special purpose that a race might be produced. Marriage means the union of these two recognizing each other as one, as the Apostle says, “I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God” (1 Corinthians 11: 3).

The Scriptures seem to clearly indicate that the Divine provision for mankind will be that they will all be sexless by the time they reach human perfection, at the close of the Millennial Age. Each sex will, in their development, have taken on more of the qualities of the other. During that Age the woman will gradually add to her womanly graces the qualities that belong to man; and man will likewise gradually take on with his manly qualities the finer sentiments and qualities of mind and body that belong to the female. Thus man will receive again that which was taken from him originally, represented by the rib. All will then be perfect, and they will neither marry nor give in marriage, for all will in this respect be like “unto the angels” (Luke 20: 34-36).
