If there is an afterlife, isn’t it going to be super awkward when your spouse and their new husband dies and you all end up in Heavens ? Who is the husband at this point ?

Dude. If people actually thought there is an afterlife where it’s perfect and you’re happy forever, they’d just off themselves instantly, why wait…
The reason they don’t is all “remaining” religions have mechanisms/laws in place to prevent this, and the reason why, is all of the religions that didn’t have those protections, dissapeared (because their believers offed themselves, see the cult mass suicides in the 20th century etc).
Same thing for widows remaining: if they really believed this stuff as-is, widows would just join their husbands instantly. But then they wouldn’t give 10% of their income to the church, so that won’t work…
