yeah i would say god has the perfect match, but i dont think everyone whose christian has had a wife or a husband
1 Corinthians 7:8-9 "But I say to the unmarried and to the widows: It is good for them if they remain even as I am; but if they cannot exercise self-control, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion." Paul indicated that it's actually better for Christians to stay single if they can lead this type of lifestyle without being distracted by passion for the opposite sex.
I forgot the other verse but it says that fallow Our lord jesus christ path and he will give you the things you need, if you know the one im talking about letme know lol cause its a verse i use a lot
But yeah congrats on finding tha soulmate

Soul Mates and Selfishness
There is no biblical concept of 'the one' or soul mates.
The scriptures above indicate no concept of 'the one'. It says 'IF' you can stay single, stay single, but if your sexual desires are too strong then better to marry than struggle. No where in that concept is the idea of a soul mate.
Soul mate is a romanticized concept that says love and marriage are some magical process where things 'just happen' and are so wonderful and easy there's no effort involved. True marriage, even biblically, says good marriage is not some magic that happens because some specialized person is made for you. But its work, its trying. Its about self sacrifice.
Also, how can someone be so great and wonderful for you yet also not have feelings for you? You're setting yourself up to be hurt by believing that a guy with no feelings for you is really someone you're 'destined' to be with. And, you're only 14. Do you know how rare it is for a relationship that starts when you're 14 to end up married? I don't believe it's God's will to have 14 year olds seeking out their future spouses.
I suggest forget the guy, focus on your walk and in a few years start looking into what marriage is Really about. And what being a spouse its Really about.

Personally, I am of the conviction that God does not reserved a single soul mate for a person in this life, but that's just my honest opinion.
That said, if you have indeed found a soul mate, then trust God that He will bring both of you together IN HIS TIME.
What if the man (in your case) for some reason chose not to reciprocate? Is your happiness in life going to be determined by this man's action/decision? Personally, I don't think so. Because God loves us and wants us to be happy, especially in marriage, He knows how to draw a GODLY man into your midst.
What we need to do is to 'seek first His Kingdom and his righteousness and all these will be given to you as well.' And in Proverbs 37:4, ' Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will grant you the desires of your heart.'
In the mean time, stay attractive in the Lord; be joyful, love the Lord, praise & worship God from your heart, be committed to God - with such traits, you will definitely attract Godly people (including man) to you!

God has a plan for everyone, i guess that includes a spouse.
I think he doesn't have a 'perfect' person for you in mind, but when you like meet that one person, it will just look perfect to you.
But yeah in God everything is possible and he will probably let you meet that one person sooner or later i think

I suppose id have to put my feelings about him aside for one moment to examine one important fact. He doesnt feel exactly the same for you. He may in fact be your idea of the perfect soul mate, but YOU MAY NOT BE HIS IDEA of a perfect soul mate. If your not then chance are he'll never fulfill you as a God given husband would. Youd be cheating yourself and eventually he'd just get bored. Pray about it dear. Pray, and make sure the emotions you feel are real and not infatuation. Been down that road before, it aint pretty. God bless and hope all turns out well.

God has His own plan for each and every person. So maybe He does have a plan for you to get married, and maybe His plan was for you to meet your husband at age 14. BUT maybe thats not his plan, this isn't something someone on a website can answer, this is between you and God. And I know that I want to be so lost in God and His plans that my husband is going to HAVE to seek Him, to find me. And yes, age doesn't really matter with Spititual things, thats like sayign you have to be at least 18 before you can be filled with the Holy Spirit. That's just not how it works, its all about God's timing, God's plans, and God's Will. So just step up in Faith, and work with what God gives you! Just run with it!! Once you start to step into what God has for you, you will be so overwhelmed with peace and understanding. So go for it
I pray everything plays out well for you!!!
