What Happens After Married Couples Die

When two people marry and vow to love each other in the wedding ceremony and stay together "until death do us part", that is a contract that ends when one person dies. Many women have honored that contract, although less so today.

There is another kind of marriage of undying love where two people swear to love each other through eternity, from one lifetime to the next -- this was the true sacred marriage, of soul mates. Most people have forgotten that it ever existed. I only know about it through writing a story once about the goddess Diana. I have it stored somewhere. I'll see if I can find it and share it here.

I think that two people may play different roles than husband and wife in their next lifetime together. When they are born again, their roles may be switched, so the husband becomes the wife, and the wife becomes the husband.

If they are still part of the same family, they may be mother and child, or father and child, brothers, sisters, favorite grandmother and granddaughter, uncle and nephew, or any one of the many roles and relationships in families, regardless of gender. It is very possible in another life to switch from being male to female, or vice versa.

Or they may not even be part of each other's family, instead becoming best friends or business partners, teacher and student, or fellow students. It is possible for there to be many other kinds of relationships that they get to explore their love in, this time around with different dynamics.

Nevertheless, when a true marriage of mutual deep love has been made, consciously or unconsciously, those two people are reunited after death in the spirit plane. When one dies, they wait for the other to cross over so they can be reunited in spirit before reincarnating together.

Many women who have lost a husband look forward to the time after their death when they will see their loved one again. Other women are happy to have the marriage contract end with the death of their husband, and have no desire to renew it in the spirit plane, regardless of whether their husband waits for them or not. Or a husband who has survived the wife after a long marriage, but does not want to renew the marriage in a next life after she has died.

My sense as a shaman who does have communication with the spirit world, is that there is an infinite variety of what happens after we die, just like there is in this life. As our worlds collide and mesh, it is going to get very interesting indeed.
