Hey guys, I wanted to follow up on a question that was asked today. Here is something that I found that talked about celestial marriage, and this is from the Church Handbook:

Husband and Wife

Exaltation in the highest degree of the celestial kingdom can be attained only by those who have faithfully lived the gospel of Jesus Christ and are sealed as eternal companions.

The sealing of husband and wife for time and eternity by the authority of the priesthood—also known as temple marriage—is a sacred privilege and obligation that all should strive to receive. It is the foundation of an eternal family.

The nature of male and female spirits is such that they complete each other. Men and women are intended to progress together toward exaltation.

The Lord has commanded husbands and wives to cleave to each other (seeGenesis 2:24; D&C 42:22). In this commandment, the word cleave means to be completely devoted and faithful to someone. Married couples cleave to God and one another by serving and loving each other and by keeping covenants in complete fidelity to one another and to God (see D&C 25:13).

A couple is to become one in establishing their family as the basis of a righteous life. Latter-day Saint husbands and wives leave behind their single life and establish their marriage as the first priority in their lives. They allow no other person or interest to have greater priority in their lives than keeping the covenants they have made with God and each other. Nonetheless, married couples continue to love and support their parents and siblings while focusing on their own families. Similarly, wise parents realize that their family responsibilities continue throughout life in a spirit of love and encouragement.

Being one in marriage requires a full partnership. For example, Adam and Eve worked together, prayed and worshipped together, sacrificed together, taught their children the gospel together, and mourned over wayward children together (see Moses 5:1, 4, 12, 27). They were united with each other and with God.

I know the question was: "If my spouse dies, then can I be sealed again to another, and if I do, what happens then?"

Ultimately, God has asked us to have a temple marriage. We will do as he has commanded, and know that Heavenly Father loves us dearly, and all things will work out in the end because he only wants us to have eternal life with him, and to live "happily ever after" :) 

I hope that gives you some clarification :)

Now, as far as reading:

Find a Conference talk that speaks to you personally and be prepared to bring a copy of that and to talk to the class about that talk. 

See you guys tomorrow :)

Love you,
