I think a lot of y'all 'unbelievers' are taking the word "soul mate" way more literally than the 'believers' are.
Do I believe that for every person, there is a perfect match, and that their souls are eternally bound to each other? No, I don't, because as was already pointed out after death we will become like angels and there will be no marrying and such.
However, I absolutely believe that God has a perfect match for you to run your race with in this life. No, that doesn't mean that they are 100% alike or compatible or whatever. But their characters compliment each other's, and complete what the other lacks. That said, I also believe there are "Pauls" in this world, people who don't need a running mate in life. There aren't too many, but they are out there. On the other hand, there are also people out there who simply NEED to be married. I know at least one out of each of those two categories.
But even if you do find your soul mate, or rather, running mate, there will absolutely be ups and downs, fights, arguments, because even if that is the person God chose for you, you must remember that the both of you are still human.
I don't really think God leaves us to our own devices about anything. Just like he arranges events that will lead us to a certain door, I believe that God has a person out there (for most of us) who he has in mind for you. The trick is waiting on the Lord and making the right choices.

I think I met a good match for me in my Husband because he and I get along well. We're also different in a lot of ways and I think that balances us out. I get anxious about a lot of thing's, but when he says, it's okay I feel better. He's very logical and great at math. I'm thankful for calculators. I'm more compassionate than him, that can be good and bad. He's more reserved and calm then me, but he says I make him laugh so that's good.
As as much as the romantic idea of a solemate is intriguing to me, I don't believe it. I hope that I see my Husband in Heaven, I'm sure we will be there but we won't be married anymore. I think everyone in Heaven loves each other, but it's not this earthly physical love that we experience on Earth. If I die before he does and he wasn't like a 104, I think he'd remarry. If he wanted to. Of course it would be extremely hard to replace all the perfection that is me.

In the past from dabbling in mysticism I have come to learn that soul mates are a belief based on past lives. It does not mean the one the Lord chose for you. But I can testify that the Lord can choose a mate for you because he did for me in a very powerful living message.
As far as the scripture that says we will be like angels in heaven and not get married, I do not take that as to mean that you do not stay together for eternity if you are married in law with the scripture.
The bible does not mention if you stay together or not, just that angels dont get married.
Another verse goes on about that if you are properly married that its a bind the Lord made and to let no man set it apart.
I like to think we stay together for eternity. I dont know for sure but it just sounds right. To not be just sounds wrong to me. Marriage is more that union in flesh but also falling in love which is the most sacred thing of this world.

Actually it does, in a way lol
Although in this topic I was thinking more about romantic soul mates, I also believe you can be soul mates, as in brother /sister /ma/pa etc too. So God bless you for listening to Him and helping me find it in the Bible, because I still have so much to learn. I had asked God to help me find some proof in the Bible. Just to make sure I Too am Listening correctly. Again thanks and God bless You ❤
