Do you believe this saying? Do you believe that there’s this one person that God has meant for you, and that no matter what happens, God will lead you both to each other? Or back to each other?
 
No. I believe that there are many (or at least numerous) people out there who would be a good match. To find someone, expose yourself to a lot of people. One will probably work out just fine.

Nope.

I didn’t marry my wife because she is the love of my life. She is the love of my life because I married her.

Basically what I am getting at is you are the only person who can decide if that person is the one before you get married and you are the only person who can decide if that person is still the one after you get married.
“The sacrament of matrimony signifies the union of Christ and the Church. It gives spouses the grace to love each other with the love with which Christ has loved his Church; the grace of the sacrament thus perfects the human love of the spouses, strengthens their indissoluble unity, and sanctifies them on the way to eternal life” (CCC 1661).

What this says to me is Christ is offering me grace within my marriage. I can cooperate with this grace, thus making my wife THE ONE. Or I can freely reject Christ’s grace because I would rather be THE ONE.

Hope this helps

God Bless
 
I’ve never believed in the idea of One True Soulmate.
We have the capacity to live more than one person.

However, it makes for fun reading in a romance novel.
 
I suppose I half believe it. I’ve dated people who, in hindsight, I can be pretty sure weren’t part of God’s plan for my life. I’m pretty sure as well that the woman I’m married to was part of God’s plan for my life. I don’t believe she’s the only one I could have married and been happy with but I believe that God brought about the circumstances that allowed us to meet and get to know each other. The fact that I made a choice to love her and we both made the choice to enter into the sacrament of marriage is what makes her my soulmate.

I believe this is true of friendships too. I’m not a great believer in coincidence. I do think God makes subtle moves within our lives to guide us toward certain people.

This assumes that people are fated to be together by the power of God. I don’t think so, at least i don’t think there is anything in Christian teaching that would suggest that to be true… It’s a romantic belief.

Then again there maybe somebody out there that would make a perfect connection for you in terms of what we so happen to find agreeable, but that doesn’t mean that you will ever meet or that you are suppose to be together.
