Reddit mentions of Philosophy of Religion Basics: A Jargon-Free Guide for Beginners

Your family will still be in heaven together. It's love that keeps a family together, not some ritual. Christians most certainly believe that families will be in heaven together. It's the plain and simple message of Christ, without all the technical difficulties that come with the temple and three heaven teaching. Mormons hijacked and took advantage of the "until death do us part" infusing it with their own meaning that was never intended. When Christians would and do utter the phrase it is not a theological teaching on the state of relationships after we die. It is meant to simply promise faithfulness to one another all the days of our lives. Billy Graham mentioned just how much he is looking forward to seeing his wife again, Ruth.

Our family is now a part of Protestant Christianity, although not tied to one denomination.

Here are some good sources. Reasonable Faith is a great website with lots of information, I would take some time looking through it. It also has a podcast titled "Defenders" under "Media" that will really begin to ground you in a mature faith. "On Guard" is an excellent book to get you started as well.
