Even while the church doctrine I adhere to does not prohibit it, I've begun to hold a personal, negative disposition to remarriage for a case like this after re-reading last month Tertullian's (admittedly, a Montanist and thus at the end of his life a heretic, but his reason here I can not find fault in) De Monogamia, which discusses monogamy, marriage, divorce, and so on. My basic belief is that, if you have married someone and they perish (thus, this is God's law of death, rather than a separation caused by man; a divorce), you are going to possess that person in your memory and heart as your spouse until you die as well, as you are still in the world while they are not, and thus there is now no possibility to destruct your marriage to them. As such, it would be adultery to marry again after your wife's death. One particular excerpt from that text that contributed to my view here I've attached:
>"But if in that age [the heavens] they will neither marry nor be given in marriage, but will be equal to angels, is not the fact that there will be no restitution of the conjugal relation a reason why we shall not be bound to our departed consorts?" Nay, but the more shall we be bound (to them), because we are destined to a better estate--destined (as we are) to rise to a spiritual consortship, to recognize as well our own selves as them who are ours. Else how shall we sing thanks to God to eternity, if there shall remain in us no sense and memory of this debt; if we shall be reformed in substance, not in consciousness?
He then completes this argument with the following paragraph:
>Since this is so, how will a woman have room for another husband, who is, even to futurity, in the possession of her own? (Moreover, we speak to each sex, even if our discourse address itself but to the one; inasmuch as one discipline is incumbent [on both].) She will have one in spirit, one in flesh. This will be adultery, the conscious affection of one woman for two men. If the one has been disjoined from her flesh, but remains in her heart--in that place where even cogitation without carnal contact achieves beforehand both adultery by concupiscence, and matrimony by volition--he is to this hour her husband, possessing the very thing which is the mean whereby he became so--her mind, namely, in which withal, if another shall find a habitation, this will be a crime.
why is there a section of the epistle of paul the apostle to the galatians on the edit?
The Galatians were Celts. That may have something to do with it.
