The answer

The people of Paradise will have everything they desire, for Allah Almighty says: "And for you therein is whatever your souls desire, and for you therein is whatever you request" (Fussilat 41:31), and He says: "And therein is whatever the souls desire and [what] delights the eyes, and you will abide therein eternally" (Az-Zukhruf 43:71), and He says: "They will have therein whatever they wish, and with Us is more" (Qaf 50:35).

One must strive to attain that which will admit him into Paradise, through faith and righteous deeds, and by asking Allah for Paradise and its blessings.

A woman in Paradise will be with her husband who was with her in this world. If she had multiple husbands, she will be with the last one, and some say she will be with the one who had the best character.
