GEN. CHAPS. 2 & 3.--Before the Fall, Adam and Eve were immortal,
therefore their marriage was eternal in its nature.
MATT. 16:19.--Peter received divine authority, so that whatsoever he
bound on earth was bound in heaven.
MATT. 22:23-33.--As in baptism, marriage is performed on earth--not
after the resurrection. The ordinance must be performed by one having
authority, such as Peter; and the married must be believers, not
such as the Sadducees who denied the resurrection and knew not the
scriptures nor the power of God.
DOC. & COV. 132:19-24.--Marriage for eternity explained.
