There really is no 'the one' in terms there only being one person God has for you. There may be a few circumstances where that's the case, just like some people are called to be single, but on the average that's just not the case. I think a lot of Christians views on marriage are more influenced by culture than the bible.
I agree. Studies have been done that have shown that cultures that engage in pre-arranged marriage have less instance of divorce and separation. The thing is that people choose to love a person and choose not too. I once thought my wife was the "one." She is in a way since we made an oath to God that we would be married for life. But since she left me I have learned that we have created a society based on notions from Disney movies that there is a person that was ment just for you who by some magical force is brought to you and will love you for ever without condition and all will be wonderful in the universe. So in the real world when things don't go as expected and feelings get hurt, people often assume that their spouse is not the "one." I guess it makes it easy to split up. Truth is we choose to love someone, we choose to marry them, and it is up to us to give our spouse good enough reason to choose to love us back.
