Question: Can I know if my wife is my soul-mate? Her first name is Denise and her mother’s first name is Rebbecca. My first name is Steve and my mother’s first name is Freida.

Answer: First, a serious relationship like marriage cannot be determined by merely examining names. Marriage is about sharing, caring, and giving to each other. The marriage would be shallow if it depended on the coincidence of certain names.

Second: You shouldn’t be asking using the past tense, but rather using the future. That is, you shouldn’t ask, “Was this marriage decreed?”, but rather, “How will I make this marriage perfect?”

Notice, that even a marriage made in heaven like that of Adam and Eve can be marred. Eve ruined her marriage and caused the expulsion of man from Paradise. It can be inferred from Biblical nuances that Adam separated from Eve for a long time (after which they got back together).

Thus we see, that the important thing in a marriage is, as indicated above, sharing, caring and giving to each other. As a couple continuously practices this, their marriage becomes more and more ideal.
