Are there soul-mates?

Aug 06, 2004 18:10

A friend of mine who just recently filed for divorcee asked me if I believe in soul-mates. Soul-mates being two people destined to be together. The reason she asked was because she has already started to date someone new and this man believes that she is his soul-mate ( Read more... )

I might word it a tad differently, but I agree with you.

I've always believed I entered into an arranged marraige. Kara and I took probably the least normal route to finding spouses but waited on the Lord every step of the way. Maybe someday in person we'll tell you the stories. But God gave me freewill and I asked Him to pick for me the woman that best fits His description of a good wife and that would best be suited to me. I am convinced I couldnt have chosen a better spouse.

I guess God can put people together. I feel that God put Chuckie and I together. But this friend of mine is thinking that maybe this new man is her soul-mate, the one God destined for her to be with. If this is true than what was her first husband Chop-liver? I thought God hates divorcee.

Well God definately hates divorce and if she and he were Christians in the first marraige then it was probably God's intention for them to be together.

Yeah, we're not arguing one another's definitions of soul-mates, we're disagreeing with your friends definition of it. :) The true definition of a soul mate has very little to do with feelings and everything to do with faith. Sounds like your friend is very confused indeed.

Yeah, that's one of the MANY dangers of that doctrine!

Soulmates...nah. If I look back at different friends (girls) I have had in the past, some very close, I think that I could have married some and it would have worked out. They were christians, I was a christian, similar friends and goals and all of that junk...but, it didn't work out that way. I married Amanda and I'm all the better for it and hopefully she is too. The thing is that once the decision is made, you make the best of it. What happens is many people make the decision and then quit working at it or waffle later. I mean, not to judge your friend, because I don't know her and maybe your post is worded incorrectly, but if her divorce isn't even final and she's already found "Mr Right", then there is an issue there that underlies and will cause her problems in the future.
