Where do all true lovers gravitate?

Marriage does continue in heaven―theologians notwithstanding―

Only those who have been truly mated can conceive how impossible it would be for a heavenly society to exist without the continued existence and capacity for enjoying the highest love―next to that of God. 

When, however, spirit-lives speak of marriages in heaven, they mean natural, and therefore, divinely-sanctioned unions―not unnatural, church-made marriages. 

Married life on the earth-plane is very often a continuance of the misery of the former life since many men and women there continue to believe that it is a sin to undo what the church has done―consequently, they, at first, go on living together in spite of their unsuitability, simply by force of habit. 

On the other hand, those who hate one another are repelled and never see each other again―or desire to do so. 

For the same reason that there are no pure-minded women and innocent children on the earth-plane, so there are no love marriages because it is impossible for husband and wife to be firmly attached without being also unselfish and spiritually advanced. 

When spirit-lives say firmly attached, they mean a love, which is of the soul―not of the body. 

Physical attractions are so often the real causes, which hold people together on earth―pure love may never exist at all, and yet the marriage may be considered a happy one. 

Such ties do not attract in the spirit-world, for the beauty of the spirit-body is dependent entirely on the beauty of the mind―

Hence, persons spiritually-deformed would not continue to be attractive to their earthly partners unless the latter were on the same spiritual level and unable to see any deformities. 

But true love does continue after death, and finds its home and highest expression in the Summerland, and the higher spheres, where all true lovers gravitate.
