Believe in what commonly known as Soul Mates?
Perhaps you don't call it that, maybe you call your missing future spouse your other half?

I think its like believing in a fairy-tale...
Some point to how God made Eve just for Adam, but who else could He have made her for?? :confused:

Also, he didn't say he was going to make an Eve for every man or an Adam for every woman.. :rolleyes:

Absolutely not. There is nothing biblical about the idea.

I believe we are more adaptable to certain people. There is not just one person for you out there but there are people that can accommodate all your moods and tantrums better than other :)


My wife and I have our moments of full on nuclear war but overall we are pretty well adjusted to each other and in my view it takes hard work to make a marriage last.

Soul mates is the world trying to convince people they have a flavour of the month and when it doesn't work out the excuse will be that we weren't meant for each other. Any relationship is hard work even our relationship with God.

God chooses a person for us. To give it a name such as ''soul mate'' no. God (if we allow him) will take over

Sad part is, many people today get married for the wrong reasons: rebounds, premarital sex and the girl gets pregnant so the guy marries her whether he loves her or not... Getting married to an ex's worst enemy just to get revenge..lol..

I want to believe in soulmates because it makes the reality of the hardwork needed in relationships easier to deal with.

I believe God can pair two people together for a reason, but that doesnt make them soul mates.

My best friend and I both strongly agree that God brought us together, but we arent soul mates : p

The idea that there are two people connected spiritually and intertwined somehow in fate or whatever doesnt make any sense : p Youll never meet two people who are perfectly in-tuned with each other : p Every couple has to work hard to stay together, they will fight and disagree and even at times struggle to get along.

I believe two people can fall in love with each other. I believe they can fall out of it, too. I do not believe that God creates "one half" of another person. I believe that when we are married we become one flesh, but I dont believe that means we were always meant to be together. Also, in heaven we will live like the angels do, there is absolutely no word on angel mating and falling in love, and Im 110% certain that they dont, and that this whole marriage thing only exists in life in the flesh and not in the spirit : p

The phrase is not Biblical but it's just one of those human expressions for two people who really connect on many levels with each other. It's maybe the best way somebody knows how to describe their relationship with somebody else.

Probably not but I believe that your spouse should be your best friend.

Yes tourist I agree.... Bestis first and foremost....

I believe in soul mates because God knew us and our life paths before we were even born... I Don't believe that God just randomly chooses someone for you... And when it comes to making love, it isn't just the flesh becoming as one, it's also your spirit making love to another... That's why it's called making love....

Yes I do believe in soul mates even when never seeing true love I have always believed in it and my belief was proven when I met Stephanie.
I believe that for every person there are many who are compatible with them but the key word is compatible meaning it incomplete but it can work, but then there is the one person who matches them completely who they can form the deepest love together with a love that can weather any storm that comes to shake the bond they forged together a love that doesn't need anything in life to be happy a love that even after the spouse dies burns strongly in the persons heart.

When you meet that one person you will know, just as the holy spirit inside us gives us a sense of knowing of things so does the heart when you meet that one person but only if you first know what real love is. To many don't know what real love is and they think they have met the one they throw their hearts out and the marry they say the vows but when times become rough and everything is crashing down they have long forgotten the vows they made and the bond made on that day shatters.

This because they don't know what real love is,if your love is truly genuine there is no limit you won't go for that person I think Jesus showed that well enough and when you say those vows on your wedding day are you sure that you will really uphold them? Marriage is far more than a ceremony or tradition to become man and wife it is a symbolic event in which two people become one in heart mind body and soul an unbreakable unshakable love and bond even if hell itself came upon earth.
When you say those vows It should be as if your words were written in stone, even if times become horrible even if you both are at your weakest even if all you ever seem to do is argue and fight the bond that was forged on that day the love you felt when you looked into each others eyes the fire that was light ablaze in your hearts is all you need to be able to push through and prove that your love is is stronger than steel though it may bend true love never breaks.

No such thing as soul mates. Firstly, our souls were not created to need a mate. Second, while there ARE people who you can really connect to, they are NOT a soul mate. GOD gives us the one HE has for us, and that's as close as you can get to a soul mate.. :)

I don't believe in soul mates, no

... I do think some people are better matches than others, and that God can sometimes cause things to happens to lead people together. I just don't think that everyone has "someone" waiting out there.

I was just curious, for the people who DO believe in soul mates (I personally believe God can bring/knit people together but I think there could be more than one potential match.)

I heard an interesting question a long time ago, if soul mates really do exist, and there really is just "one person" for everyone:

What happens if your soul mate dies, or marries someone else before you meet them?

Are you then doomed to an eternity (or this lifetime, at least) alone, since it won't be possible for your "one-and-only" soul mate to be joined with you?
