Hello F.J. Thomas, why woould he want to die? Did he think tha she would go with him? Have a nice evening my friend.

So sorry I'm just seeing this Darlene. It's a bit much to explain so I'll try to keep it brief. The resurrection is an eventuality; and in God's eyes the marriage bond ends upon death. He's saying do not wait until I'm resurrected to be with me again, remarry and be happy. She, though, cannot see happiness without him by her side.
