Swedenborg wrote that the center of heaven is, in fact, made up of married partners, and although this is generally taught in D&C as well, it is sullied by false things that are spun into and among it. What’s most important to accomplish on earth is being joined to the Lord’s Spirit through the charitable way a person lives his or her life, which is symbolized by marriage. So long as that regeneration in the Lord is accomplished, if a marriage to a partner is not found on earth, one can be found in heaven, regardless of Mormon membership or temple rituals.

Although it’s obvious they still love each other, Mary is no longer Jesus’ mother. She was his physical mother who birthed him while he was on earth, but his physical body was progressively transformed and glorified, made one with the Father of Heaven, so that it’s no longer the case that she is his mother.
