Sex, Romance, and God

I wonder how God relates to our sexual and romantic side.... most people are probably content believing an answer that goes something like, "Well, sex is good for this world, but in heaven it won't matter because God is better than sex or any romantic relationship." Fair enough, heaven will be full of God's awesomeness, and we all know that people won't have sex in heaven....right? So technically there is no ultimate meaning in things like sex and romance, because after all, God only made them to be temporary and to be enjoyed while they last in this earthly life.

But what about those called to singleness? You can't tell me that all single people really have no desire to be in a relationship; it's human nature. But if they feel called to live a life without a partner, then how is romance a good thing? It then becomes a temporary desire that cannot be fulfilled and will not exist in heaven, so it's practically meaningless to such a person. How can you tell them that it isn't? To them, that particular aspect of life is more of a curse than it is a blessing; a constant burden that they always have to push aside to move forward. Now, hopefully their life will be full of other wonderful blessings that come from being closer to God, and that makes sense. But what doesn't make sense to me is the apparently pointless desire that they are built with which will take them nowhere and ultimately means nothing.

That is unless, somehow, the character of God includes a satisfaction of those desires. Honestly, this is the only thing that makes sense, considering the fact that our love for God should overshadow everything else. And if romantic desires are the most powerful desires in a human heart, shouldn't God be the ultimate source of romance? I realize that this sounds kind of weird....and I'm just trying to figure stuff out, but I see no reason for why we shouldn't love God with all our God-given desires, including romance. I'm not so keen on saying the same thing for sex.... but even that desire is God-given, and if it has no place in heaven, why should it mean anything other than a random temporary blessing? Strange questions, I know....
