I think your intuition is leading you astray. If we had enough resources to feed and care for everyone who ever lived, we’d be able to scale up. Colonize the solar system, or the galaxy.
And if I had three dead wives, I’d predict that I’d like them all back. I’d expect they’d get along.
I suppose that there’s pretty strong evidence that most people select for things other than friendship/compatibility when choosing life partners. That seems self-evidently stupid to me—there’s a reason why not all flings should turn into life partnerships.

I’d expect they wouldn’t. Especially if they knew each other in life. “You married HER? I always knew you two had a thing!”

If so, you’re very lucky. It’s also important to consider more usual cases.
Some people are going to be awfully bent out of shape here. Most likely better than being dead, but they’re going to have needs.
