Hmmm, i think our only true soul mate is Him. Do I think God has put many together...ABSOLUTELY. I would love an.... and they lived happily ever after with someone. I may never, not with a man, but with Him, the happy ending has no ending. How cool is that? Would I like it to be different, for someone He thinks is good for me and me for him, to walk into my life, sure. Being totally honest, I travel that desire in my hearts wanting sometimes, but His grace will continue to be sufficient, regardless.

I believe so. God knows the special person for each one of us that will be suitable and just perfect for us. Of course, there are those who are devoted to being single and they don't necessarily have the desire to marry. Anyway, just saying. I'm not sure about everyone though.
God has set out our lives in motion, so wouldn't he already ordain that soulmate you're going to spend the rest of your life with?

i believe there are many potential soulmates out there for any given individual. For example what happens where your wife or husband dies and you get remarried to another? So there has to be multiple potentials out there for us. Opportunities will come and go.
Even though we may want someone the cost of actually having them there means we give up some of our own wants and desires that single lives offer. We simple can't just do what we want when we want to because we are considering the other half.
then you need to get on with that person warts and all after the honeymoon period. Making a commitment to someone for life is a major deal....it's not just about finding someone who will love you but also being committed to them through life's ups and downs and looking past their sinful broken state.
As we get older we are more wary so people stay single for longer. The problem is the grass is always greener on the other side till you get there

I've seen people discuss the concept of "soul mates" many times on the forum over the years, and I think that when I was younger, I used to believe in them.
However, something that someone posted a long time ago really made me rethink my stance: if God does makes one, just one, ultimate soulmate for you--what happens if, let's say, they make a wrong choice in their life (like drinking or texting while driving), and they are killed before you even have a chance to meet them?
Are you then doomed to spend the rest of your life alone, because that "one ultimate soulmate" God had for you is no longer living?
These kinds of questions make me lean towards more of a believe in workable compatibility rather than supposedly one true soul mate.
The older I get, the more I also think about how our culture defines marriage and a supposed soulmate rather as opposed to what God intended it to be. In today's world, a "soul mate" or even "marriage partner" means someone who makes us feel on top of the world 24/7, and if that feeling somehow ends, most people will move on.
But yet, God commanded His prophet, Hosea, to marry Gomer, a woman who was already known to be promiscuous, and ran to other men while she was married to Hosea--to the point where he would even have to go after her and retrieve her from these other men.
Did God specifically make Gomer to be Hosea's "soulmate"? If so, I'm pretty sure this is a soulmate that no one would want.
Whether or not God does make "soulmates", the purpose of marriage is still the same--to carry out God's will in our lives. In the case of Hosea and Gomer, His will was to give the people a real-live illustration of how God kept taking Israel back every time she ran to other gods.
And this, to be honest, sometimes makes me afraid to ask God what He truly wants my life to be.

I don't understand the point of this question. We all will die unless Jesus returns first and I agree with Paul that it's better not to marry at all. Our flesh longs for the company love and support of another. Life is too difficult alone. So God blessed marriage in spite of the true purpose of life is to worship God.
When God prepares two to become one it's not for eternity, it's only for life which is temporary. When one dies the lord may prepare another to take their place. We not need to remain lonely till death. That would be cruel. God is not cruel.

Anyone can be your soulmate as long as you're ready to sacrifice for the one you love like Jacob who worked for Rachel within 14 years.
Besides in the Bible, God lets you choose a partner. you can either choose an angry woman/bad woman or the prudent one if you read the Proverbs.
If you want to choose a prudent woman, you must read the whole Proverbs 31 and see if your crush has these characteristics.
