Marriage in heaven

Mormon Scripture: Marriages that are sealed by the Holy Spirit are eternal.

Those who have their marriages sealed will be gods in heaven, with angels serving them.

If a man marry a wife by my word, which is my law, and by the new and everlasting covenant, and it is sealed unto them by the Holy Spirit ... and it shall be said unto them—Ye shall come forth in the first resurrection; and if it be after the first resurrection, in the next resurrection; and shall inherit thrones, kingdoms, principalities, and powers, dominions, all heights and depths ... then shall it be written in the Lamb’s Book of Life ... and they shall pass by the angels, and the gods, which are set there, to their exaltation and glory in all things, as hath been sealed upon their heads, which glory shall be a fulness and a continuation of the seeds forever and ever. ... Then shall they be gods, because they have all power, and the angels are subject unto them. Doctrine and Covenants 132:19-20

Abraham received concubines, and they bore him children; and it was accounted unto him for righteousness ... as Isaac also and Jacob did ... they ... sit upon thrones, and are not angels but are gods. Doctrine and Covenants 132:37
