    Not directly, but here are some scriptures that may help you out...

    Genesis 2:18 Then the Lord God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.” Genesis 2:24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. Proverbs 18:22 He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord.

    We must trust our Father God to direct us and guide us in all that we do especially in marriage because it is a life-time commitment.

    Jeremiah 29:11-13 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.

    Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

    Matthew 7:7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

    Also if you are wondering what the bible say to look for in the ideal man or woman: check this site out for men: http://www.bible.ca/marriage/husbands.htm and read Proverbs 31 for an idea wife.

    Hopes that helps you out!

    No, the bible doesn't talk about 'The One'. I think the idea of 'the one' was made to try and make people feel secure in oposition to their behavior. We are selfish people in general, we are always looking out for ourselves and what we are getting out of a relationship. Everything is fine until we wake up one morning and don't have that same feeling about our partner that we did the day before...I guess it must mean they aren't 'the one' so we break up or get a divorce. The same is with people who cheat and use lines like 'the heart wants what the heart wants' or 'you can't choose who you fall in love with'. The idea of 'the one' is supposed to protect us from those situations, because once we find 'the one' all those things go away. The only problem is that you can't tell before hand that some one isn't 'the one', you can only tell after, when you heart decides that it wants some one else. The biblical issue of marriage shows a choice to love some one, to put their needs ahead of your own, and to work at the relationship. The hollywood version of love is not promoted by the bible.

    No it doesn't but what I like to think is that "the one" is being prepared through their trials, errors, experiences, and relationships to be the right "one" for you. I thought that myself for many years that question. I met my wife in Maine and she's from Texas and I'm from New Hampshire. The person that would be the right one could be in another state right now and has nothing to do with anyone living close to your area at all. If it's God's will then he will lead you to each other. Just be patient and you will know when you found them because everything will be right.

    Jeremiah 29:11: For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

    Psalm 40:5: Many, O LORD my God, are the wonders you have done. The things you planned for us no one can recount to you; were I to speak and tell of them, they would be too many to declare.

    James 1:17: Whatever is good and perfect comes to us from God above, who created all heaven's lights. Unlike them, he never changes or casts shifting shadows.

    God DOES have a plan and a purpose for each of our lives. It's up to us to nurture our relationship with God and to pray continually that His will be done in our lives. Otherwise, we are prone to take off on an independent course of action and make choices with our own free will that are outside of His perfect will for us.

    God bless!

    the bible does say several things that come close.

    i think its written in hebrews that the man is not without the woman in the Lord.

    however, it is written that it is not good for a man to be alone, yet man was created "alone" in the first place.

    and notice also, that not all unions are ordained by God. because of this fornication is Prohibitive commandment.

    The Bible does not specifically state that God has picked soul mates for all of mankind, and I think he might have a lot more on his plate than choosing who is right for each other. Though if you believe in God (in any form, I'm assuming you are Christian but I do not know), he did give people free will and that I think holds a lot more meaning in it and opportunity to go out and find your soul mate than if God specifically gave them to you.

    I know it's hard and challenging to find that one person, but love is everywhere and as long as you are giving yourself opportunities (ie. dating people, trying to find people) you will find them eventually.

    While that is a popular belief it actually does not say anything about that in the Bible. It just says marry a Christian.

    Sorry neighbor, it doesn't. That would be contrary to the notion of free will.

    no, but He will lead you to "the one" if you stay in Him, and if that's part of His plan for your life.
