What does the Bible say about soulmates?

Question

Are they real? Are they a part of christian life?

Answer 1

There is no Biblical evidence for the idea of soulmates .. God doesn't seem to be in the business of being a matchmaker.

In the New Testament the question asked of Paul (1 Corinthians 7) was not "Who should you marry?," but "Should you marry at all?" If I could sum up Paul's argument in modern English he said, "Here's the deal. "If you are single you can better serve the Lord, but you will have to live with the sexual frustration that accompanies the celibate life. If you are married you will be sexually fulfilled, but your spouse will be a distraction from serving the Lord. Oh yeah, if you choose to marry you cannot divorce. It's until death do you part. There's the pros and cons, now make your choice."

Chances are good that in our lifetime we will meet lots of individuals with whom we could establish a life-long, meaningful, and happy marriage, all of whom would be pleasing to God. If, when, and who we marry is a decision God has left to us to make in a responsible and wise manner. In other words a couple becomes soulmates ... Its not a ready made deal.

Answer 2

The Bible does not indicate that there is a specific spouse picked out for each person. It is impossible for us to fully understand the ways of God. We know that He knows us before we are even born. “I knew you before I formed you in your mother's womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my spokesman to the world” (Jeremiah 1:5). He knows what choices we are going to make, and knows whether we will turn to Him or not (Romans 8:29-30). He knows the number of hairs on our heads (Matthew 10:30). If we give ourselves to God, and seek His guidance, He promises to direct us. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge him and he shall direct your paths” (Proverbs 3:5-6).

People often make choices that are against the will of God – Christians and non-Christians alike. Therefore if God had planned for us to be with one person only, and we miss the chance, then our life's plan would be ruined. But the Bible says that even the most “foolish” plan of God's is far wiser than the wisest plan a human could devise (1 Corinthians 1:25), which means His plan cannot be put off track. When we decide to make the choice to follow God, I believe He will put in our path the right people and the right situations that will mold us into the people that He wants us to be. Even if a Christian marries a non-Christian, God has the power to work miracles and change that person's life. We, as humans, get ourselves into the messiest positions, but God in His infinite wisdom and grace can dig us out if we seek Him.

Answer 3

That is a good question. I have learned a little more on this lately.

There is a whole person; body, soul & spirit. Some people are blinded/dead spiritually. Jesus said that to see the Kingdom of God, you must be born again, meaning reborn of the spirit.

When Adam sinned, he died spiritually. He wasn't whole anymore. He couldn't eat of the tree of life. Within 1000 yrs, he died physically. In the day/age he ate of the forbidden fruit, he died. But the soul lives on where God puts person. When we are born of God, born of His spirit, we are whole again. Our body (though corruptible) has a soul & reborn spirit. So, there is spiritual unity when praying in spirit with others in faith. But where the spiritual unity is, it also affects the soul, that the spirit is in. Praying in spirit helps the soul make right decisions.

So, soulmates isn't quite accurate for Christianity. But soul/spirit mates is. That is why it is sooo important to be equally yoked in Christ, when married.

Soul/spirit oneness with another in Christ.

Answer 4

Nothing to my knowledge, I think it is mans desire for perfection and greatness that is flawless. Flawlessness does not exist. Man puts limits on love to a standard of "If you act the way I want you to or meet the needs of mine like I expect." Perfect love is to love an imperfect person.
