While God may choose a soulmate or leads you to them. A lot of times people don't listen to God, when he tells you whether someone is the right choice or not.
As a young person, you get into the idea of marrying for love, and ignore the other warning signs. God will let you know, if you listen. But the problem is that as Christians, we don't always pray. You have no idea how many times I've heard people say, they knew the person was wrong for them or that the marriage would not work out, but they still get married anyway. There is so much pressure, especially in Christian communities to be married, that you feel like you have to go through with a marriage. Our society places such a big emphasis on a wedding ceremony, especially when you see the big expensive hooplas that people do nowadays (tux, flowers, reception hall, right clothes, right bridesmaids, right photographer, right DJ, etc, etc, etc).
To me, it's not a problem that God doesn't choose someone. It's a case that too many Christians that get a divorce don't choose their mate wisely.

Does it occur to you that some people don't become christians until after they have married? In this instance, they are perfectly within their rights to divorce an unbelieving mate. Also, some believers will marry a nonbeliever, thinking they will change that person. Of course, this rarely happens and the marriage ends up in divorce.
You are so intent on pointing your finger at christians, that you've lost the ability to use your brain for anything other than that. Sad.

God hates divorce with only 2 exceptions given in scripture.
1) Marital infidelity
2) Believers married to unbelievers
That's all. But we have free will to marry whom we choose. Better to pray long and hard before "popping" the question. I dated my wife for 2 years before getting engaged, then waited 2 more before we walked down the aisle. We've made it 7 years (6/24) so far.

I've run across perhaps 8 potential soulmates in my lifetime. Something magical just happens instantaneously upon eye contact. Every single time, to date, I've blown it by letting them be "passing ships," never to be encountered again. Really sad, and boy, have I kicked myself for that! More than you can imagine!! One that happened in Hershey, Penna., in 1957 was especially unforgettable! For a brief time, that really was the sweetest town in the universe... and it's been bittersweet ever since.
So if God had any role in bringing about those brief encounters, I think it would've been wonderful if He'd removed my hesitation to act upon it, at the same time.
And I hope there's even one more still in my future... and that if it happens, THAT will be the time that I don't blow it!

God brings people in our life becouse of many reasons.
I believe that Lord led me to my husband, but it was his and my choice to become a family. And now it is our choice to be together. If someone would come to you and say that Lord wants you become his wife but your heart is silent, my advise is avoid this man. God always gives you freedom of choice, it is humans who try to manipulate.
Christians divorce when they turn away from Lord, when they start judge each other withouth looking at themselves first. Bible teachs us to be resposible for our own behavier on the first place.

temporarily: simply by fact of evolution the ideas is under pressure to be liable to non secular believes. evaluate the certainty that some extremely sensible those that make their living utilising good judgment, considered one of those professors, additionally can have faith in God truly. needless to say good judgment on my own is inadequate to cajole somebody to have faith or no longer have faith in a God. I see a great form of responses the place human beings provide o.k. reasoned and logical arguments why they suspect in God. in spite of the incontrovertible fact that bear in mind that psychologists have shown that a lot of human beings tend to have a have faith first (no longer in common terms interior the non secular experience) and then discover arguments to help their view. So the opinion comes first. the explanation why comes later. notice that everybody isn't conscious that they try this so as that they are frequently insulted by utilising this view simply by fact to anybody it does no longer experience this form. interior the start of the evolution it probable helped for an organism to get out on precise if it replaced into extra selfish than different (peer) organisms. yet now evaluate the addition of addition interior the gene pool of an organism that works jointly simply by fact of a obscure shared have faith in a ultimate being. those organism now artwork jointly for a worry-loose objective and have a great danger of thrashing out the in common terms selfish organisms. And with sufficient time those organism will ultimately get the top hand. (btw left as an workout to the reader to choose how are available common terms everybody is non secular and we don't as an occasion see non secular cats. in accordance with my arguments right here could then no longer all beings be non secular ?) over the years those beings grow to be extra developed and notice a worldwide around them they won't be able to clarify. yet thankfully the creation of a God or gods can clarify each little thing that cannot be defined by utilising information and good judgment. speedy forward to as we communicate and maximum of issues that have been defined utilising gods are actually rationally defined by utilising technological expertise. This good judgment is so overwhelming that throughout lots of present day guy it overrides the genetic predisposition in direction of have faith in God. while for others the ideas section that dictates a have faith in God is extra suitable and pushes the best judgment to the facet.

He knows best so i think he chooses them. It is then up to you both to do the right thing to keep the relationship going in the right direction. If it's not the way it should be, then he'd have to do something about it. Hope this is beneficial.

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).

Because people don't always listen to what they're really being told or examine what they're really seeing. Media tells us to find the richest, hottest spouse we can, not the one who best compliments us. It's not God's fault when people ignore what they've been shown and given.
