I thought that eternal progression would also include overcoming human faults and failings and looking beyong who we are today in recognition of who each of us can eventually become in eternity. I mean if some girls Prince Charming turns into a frog with a remote in his hand, etc....these thing can be overcome and are superficial.....just as other personality quirks that may only exist because of life experiences in this fallen sphere in which we all reside. How many men leave their wives because they do not look like they once did....never lost the baby weight, etc. I think we can all be blinded at times by this world.....but I like to believe that whatever struggles we may have with enduring to the end with our spouse will be made right in the eternal worlds.....not through Celestial divorce...but by attaining God like attributes......by having a more perfect love.

I would think that they could. There are couples who stay together only for the children or for image. Will these people be sealed in the next life? Hard to say. Also, there are many more couples where one partner is far less devout than the other and may fall into the lower kingdom category. I suppose in these cases there would be re-assignment just as many go this route in civil courts (in this life) today.
Nowadays many people have lost sight of what commitment really is. So marriage bonds are far less strong than they used to be. People have to work 100% to make marriage happy and fulfilling. You know, I read a book on near death experiences that said that people who had a dead spouse when they almost died were far more likely to be visited by the spouse than those who didn't. I do not believe near death experiences are caused by oxygen deprivation, synaptic peril or endorphins so perhaps this can tell us something about what is in store in the next life.
