The theory says that God has one specific person destined to be your spouse, and you must find this specific person to be truly happy in marriage.
The problem is what if somone doesn't marry their soulmate? This would cause cataclysmic problems in the whole system and could keep everyone from finding their soulmate because he/she is married to someone else.

I think that sometimes you just happen to be lucky enough to find your soul mate. Many coincidences happened which resulted in my husband and me meeting. We met late in life, after two previous relationships for each of us, and all our children were grown up. We both regret in a sense all the years we missed, but on the other hand during those years we were busy doing other things and those years made us who we are and gave us the children we have.
I do believe in soul mates, but we also both agree that when we were younger we were looking for other things and probably wouldn't have noticed each other. Life is strange .... it is what it is.

Check the website below for the "Modern Soulmate Theory" which points out through mathematics that we should be able to find a soulmate. It points out that soulmates aren't "destined," merely someone truly compatible with your tastes. This is why dating is so hard. Some people don't ever move to a new town, some people never date outside their race. These all factor in to how difficult it is to find a "soulmate".
I found that site while looking for a site I remember seeing that pointed out the statistics of how many people we'll meet in our lives (on average) that live within just 10 miles of us, therefore, the likelihood we'll meet someone who seems like a soulmate.
The romantic side of me likes to believe in the Greek idea of soulmates (see wikipedia article). Someone told me that when I was younger, saying that the souls were split into two also by gender, male and female, but I've come to believe our second "half" could be anyone, friend, sibling, mentor, as well as lover.

I do believe that God will give you the perfect soulmate. Your soulmate should be your spouse, whoever that person is ... and God will provide you both the opportunity to meet.
But in all honesty, you don't become soulmates right away, that happens once you are truly married .... I mean married in the soul, not just the paper or the ceremony.

Pychology says that you're most likely attracted to people with the same type of pychological wounds from childhood in an attempt to resolve issue that couldn't be resolved at a younger age. If this is true, then there are probably many people who share similar childhood wounds and therefore many possible mates.
Personally I'm unconvinced about soul mates. I think that there are probably many people I could be compatible with and that choosing "the one" is really just that, a matter of choice.

The theory of soulmates, that's funny!
I met a man that I fell in love with, it would cause cataclysmic problems in the whole system if we got together so we won't, so you can be happy!

I hate this question. It makes me think of my own marriage. I love my husband,I do believe we are suppose to be together, but sometimes he makes me soooo miserable I could slit my wrists. So, yes; I believe in soulmates ~~~ but I also believe that it's not part of God's divine plan, and that being with that person isn't always going to cause great happiness.

If you never knew your soul mate, wouldnt you believe you were truly happy, never having known what you were missing?
Im not sure I believe in pre-destination. But if there is such a thing as soul mates, the reason you gave is probably what it happens so infrequently.
If there is such a thing, I know I found mine, 10 years and one bad marriage later.

I can pinpoint the exact date, and location of the origin of world-wide chaos. It is the day I met my 'soul mate'...
