Soulmates – Does Everyone Have One?

Question

I have fixed up four couples, all of whom ended up getting married. I am happy to be batting 4 for 4, in baseball parlance, but I am not so good at finding a mate for myself!

So, this makes me wonder if everyone actually has a soulmate, or if some people are simply destined to be on their own. I’d appreciate some insight.

Thanks in advance.

Answer

The Talmud tells us that everyone has one so keep on looking. Sometimes it takes longer than we think it should but don’t get discouraged. I’ve always said that God is on time, but His time is not neccessarily our time.
Good luck!
