Or is there only 1 person for each of us?

I think God lets us pick our paths and places people there for us to run into....some people are there to teach us lessons, others for encouragement and support, others to make us stronger and build character, others to fall in love with....etc.
I believe it's based on the decisions we make with those we love that decides if they are or are not the perfect person for us.
I don't believe in just one because I've seen older folks who lost their spouse that they were happily married to for 40+ years. Then they find a companion or maybe lover to live out the rest of their days with. The person loves both of them and both make him/her happy.
God works in mysterious ways....but why question it. It's more fun and less stressful to just live....take each day as it comes and wait for the next. If you have someone there to share the ride, it makes the trip better.

Sure, to fall in love ENOUGH to marry. As far as a true soul mate, not really. How does an individual know if the person they are with is truly a soul mate? We tend to search our entire lives for such a person, only to settle for what we think will do, but take the chance that this person is not what we had really envisioned. We settle for the next best thing so as not to be alone. It is, in my experience, a crap shoot. Go with what you feel, and not how you think you should feel.

Yes. Absolutley positively. YOU "chose" who you will love. God made us to be able to be "attracted" to more than one person, for the "survival of the species". If you lose one partner, it is possible to love another.
SOMETIMEs we meet a second "possible" partner WHILE we are married. Even though we feel that strong attraction and all the elements are there clearly to us, we are not supposed to cheat with that person. They only crossed our lives, in case we were without a present partner. If we leave it alone, they will be out of our life.
If we break up with out partner, or are widowed, another wonderful person will come along that we can TRUST, LIKE and have AS A BESTFRIEND and also have LUST for. All the elements of real love.
It is a good thing to know you have more opportunities to have a loving mate, you do not have to be alone.
I wish you love

Falling in love enough to marry is too simple to have been devised by a supreme being...I think we have been given free-will and the ability to make intelligent, unselfish choices.
Unfortunately, many of us do not.

You can bet your sweet life there is. Look at it this way:-
World population 6,500,000,000
Half are women 3,250,000,000
About 1in 5 your age 650,000,000
About 1 in 27 live in the U.S. 24,000,000
So how many of that TWENTY FOUR MILLION women in the U.S. alone have you met so far? Think about it - that is SEVEN times the total population of Washington D.C.

Lovers can be more then one...But a great man to marry and stay married is in the heart..If we choose the one then we have to stay with it at all cost...To be loved by lovers is a fly by night players world...Any one can sweet talk us,,,,But only a few can pay the mortgage and change a diaper...LOL

You could fall in love many times over, and get married many times over. But there is only ONE soul mate.

My God's all about forgiveness and understands (nay, allows) mistakes in order for us to learn from them. So I got to believe the answer is yes. Hopefully love's reprise will be treated with the respect it deserves.

Yes! But it's more about your attitude than the romance part. And.. both people must have the same basic goals and understanding about what marriage truly is. It's a dedication to each other - no matter what!!!!! NO MATTER WHAT!!!!

I think you have a path to follow and it is your life journey to follow that path. There are many people you could fall in love with and who could fall in love with you. It is good not to need to be in love but rather to choose to be in love and only to be in love with someon who chooses to be in love with you and doesn't need to be. This way it is a choice to forget all of the other choices
