Nice little idea. But if you don't mind, I'm gonna play devil's advocate. I'm all for dreaming about what the afterlife might be like, and I certainly won't say that it can't possibly be like that, but it kind of sets alarmbells off in my head if someone is clearly preaching something for the sake of wishful thinking. A lot of us here on the forum seem to be lonely singles, so you come along and say "Hey, no worries, we'll get love in heaven".
Anyway, it's a bit christian-oriented. What about those of us who believe in other gods?
But looking at it from the christian perspective: There's one passage where Jesus tells a story of a woman who was re-married seven times, and people ask him which of those seven men will be her husband in heaven. And he replies something along the lines of that no one is cause we're not married in heaven, something like that.
Also, I find the idea a bit too idealistic, because the sad truth is, that some of us have more than one Love-of-our-life. We can be happily married, and then our partner dies, and then years later we meet another person whom we love just as much. It would be kind of sad to sort of dismiss the first partner as not having been the right one after all..

would beg to differ. the mere fact that something has not yet been proven doesn't mean that it will remain unproven for all time. what the smartset thinks it "knows" is but a tiny fraction of what remains which is unknown.
Science agrees with Dilbert here. If I claim that fairies exist, people won't believe me. Fairies will be considered non-existant by science until one has been filmed/documented. No, the fact we've never seen one doesn't disprove the fact that fairies exist, and we're free to believe whatever, but the default really is to assume it doesn't exist.
