Question:  Can we have sex with our wives in heaven?

Answer:

Jesus is pretty clear in the Gospel that marriage does not "last," as it were into heaven; read http://www.usccb.org/nab/bible/matthew/matthew22.htm to see what the Lord actually says on this topic.

Think of the words of the traditional Christian marriage vow: "until DEATH DO US PART" which means something like "we'll be married until one of us dies and then we won't be wife and husband any more."

So the answer to your question is, NO, in heaven husbands won't be having sex with their wives and wives won't be having sex with their husbands.
