My Question of the Day: According to U.S. Census Bureau, the world’s population stands at about 6,824,281,222 people and counting. With that in mind, and thinking about love and relationships, do you think it’s possible to have more than one soul mate?

My 2 Cents: The idea that God has someone for everyone has never sat well with me. The adage implies that no one is suppose to be single by nature or by choice, and it also implies that God (if you believe in Him) gave us free will in every other area of our lives except in the choice of a life partner. Goodness. He even gave Adam a choice (although his choice was one or none) to accept or reject Eve. Had Adam rejected Eve as his life partner, there’s a possibility God would have created another choice, or Adam would have just been single by choice.

Having said all that, I think you can imagine that I’m strongly leaning toward the idea that we can have more than one soul mate. With all these people in the world, and so many we’ll never get to meet, I can’t fathom that the God I serve (and I acknowledge that others don’t believe in Him) would, as I said before, give me free will in every other area of my life and then dictate with whom I spend the rest of my life.
