Do you believe that God has a perfect mate for you?

Question

I'm just curious to what everyone thinks...

Answer 1

Yes, If you have prayed and asked for God's guidance to show you if there is any reason why God would not want you to marry a certain person, and you listen to Him and you decide not to marry then you will be in His will. But He gives us all the power to choose, sometimes people do not like what God shows them and they end up married only to be in a tragic marriage. Write a pro's and con's list of marrying your fellow, if the con's outway the pro's then I would give it a second thought. But remember Love is a committment not a feeling, you two need to make that decision that Yes no matter what ailment, sickness, or circumstance you will always love and work together in all things and dont get mad at petty things in life, enjoy your marriage to the fullest that you may have a memory that will last forever. It was God all the way in my union with my husband no doubt, we accept each other with all of our faults and we dont have an unrealistic expectation of the other. But the greatest secret to a great marriage is to keep Jesus in the center of it, pray together go to church and live the best that you can.....
Have a Blessed Day!

Answer 2

It depends on how you look at it.

First thing you look at is cultural things that may come into play

Language
Country of Origin
Ethnicity
Social status
Geographical issues
etc.

Then you look at emotional things

Share common ideals
Idea of marriage and love
Kids
What both people want out of life
etc.

The first part is the big one. Sometimes cultural differences can be far too great to overcome, and if you're looking for someone with the same cultural aspects as you have already, then you just cut out a good majority of the world.

Then with the second, it narrows down certain possible prospects. Until finally, now here's where it gets tricky.

you find someone you think is perfect for you. But they

Don't like you
Die
Fall out of love with you
etc.

So you're sad because you think you've found the only person for you and now lost them. It heals with time and you find someone new who fits the description.

No I dont believe there is a perfect mate. There are just many possible prospects.

Answer 3

Yes, I do, If we just wait upon God & not let our flesh get in the way, God will show you that perfect mate, that does not mean you won't have disagreedments, But that means you can work them out. My 1st wife die after almost being married to her for 22 yrs, I watch her died in ICU for 304 days, I never thought I would ever marry again, Then I ask God If he Had someone out there for me, Then God will have to show her to me, One day in church, I saw this woman, & when My eyes stop on her, I heard something down in my heart saying there is you new wife, I did not even know who she was, & I did not even know if she was married, But something said she is the one, You talk about nerves, Then as time went on for about 8 weeks I was told that she too was a widow, Now we have been married over 15 yrs.

Answer 4

I don't know, I always thought that he has given us a choice! He will bless us if we honour him. As long as you keep him at the center of your relationship and your life, he will bless you - but I may be wrong! That's what I feel anyway. But I do feel my boyfriend is God-given. I'm jsut someone who is sposed to be married I guess, always what people have said too! And I wrote a letter to God and a month later - he turned up! And I can really tell that God's in our relationship now.

Answer 5

I do, but it is difficult to wait on Him to bring him or her to you. Most of us look for someone we are attracted to and say, this is the one God sent me! Then after we are married we fight and squabble about everything under the sun and realize that only God can work in a marriage that both seek His will on together anyway. Even for two very much in love Christians, marriage is work. When you both put in the work the rewards are unbelieveable. But even those of us who start in sin can still receive a great and blessed marriage if we turn to God to run our lives and take direction.

Answer 6

I think in God you can find that soul connection... when he is at the center of your individual and couple life.
Does it have to be one certain person somewhere in the world? ... I do not think so. Most of us find someone that lives within 20 miles of us, right? And perfection? Who wants it? We need to give and take, learn and love, forgive and be forgiven - that is the beauty and the strength of a couple. You make it together and succeed in your marriage because of who you are in God, and who you are in God together.
But in Him you find all that you need and can be whole together. God prepares us and can lead us to each other, and pour out his blessing, and that is more than enough!

Answer 7

I believe that God gives us choices and guidelines to follow when choosing a mate but i dont think there is just one person for us.
We can ask God to lead us and put us in the right place to meet someone suitable to who we are spiritually, and naturally ....

Answer 8

No, I married "the perfect mate" within my church and he turned out to be the devil in disguise. I no longer practise any religion, because there are too many "rules" made up by men that are trying to control people. Now I choose to live my life free from all that rubbish.

Answer 9

With biliions of people on this planet, I hardly think there is one"perfect" mate for you and besides whats the deffinition of perfection and does it even really exsist. Ones perfection is anothers imperfection. Smile.
