Jesus said in the Gospel that the wife will not necessarily share heaven with her husband (the question of the womand who married each of 7 brothers...)

And St. Paul said:

Romans 7:1-2

1 Do you not know, brothers and sisters—for I am speaking to those who know the law—that the law has authority over someone only as long as that person lives? 2 For example, by law a married woman is bound to her husband as long as he is alive, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law that binds her to him.

It is more concise in Matthew 22:29-32 [NIV], where Jesus is speaking:

29 Jesus replied, "You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God.
30 At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.
31 But about the resurrection of the dead--have you not read what God said to you, 32 'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob' ? He is not the God of the dead but of the living."

It is Jesus speaking, and clearly, from his words, there is no marriage in heaven. This is the NIV translation.
