Ep 57 - Eternity: Honeymoon or Married with Kids?

Would you rather have a sparkly romance or long-term covenant love? We are joined by guest Joshua Richardson to discuss the film Eternity and how its rom-com afterlife premise echoes Latter-day Saint questions about eternal marriage. We dig into Mormon-flavored themes like what age a resurrected body might be, the joy of embodied life, and how messy realities—widowhood, remarriage, divorce, and sealing questions—could be made just and happy in eternity.
