I'm not sure. That's a great question. I guess I do think that I should at least be TRYING to be good and being in God's favor. (Which I am making an effort, even though I admit that I'm not perfect.)
God doesn't give you something unless you work for it. A relationship isn't easy.

I think that God is not going to give you someone amazing if you aren't... Amazing yourself. If you are having trouble with certain sins and stuff like that or he feels you aren't ready or are too judgmental or something like that. Then you might not get your soulmate for a while.
You don't have to do works to get into heaven per say but you do get rewards and that is one of them
Of course not! Nobody has to earn anything. The right person will eventually come around; as long as you continue praying, having hope, being a good person, being patient, and living your life accordingly. I believe that god does not send us our soulmate the second we command him to. He blesses us with a partner when he knows and feels that we are ready!! Every time I hear people complaining about feeling lonely and wanting someone; I always say, "What do you think needs improving in your life or what is it about your personality that could use some alterations?" There is obviously something that is off balance and out of order because if everything was fine and dandy on your end; you would've had a significant other and your relationship or marriage would be less problematic. You can't hold your hand out for a particular gift unless you are qualified and stable enough to be able to have and keep it, or else you are going to lose your prized possession!
Don't you worry about it, I'm sure for every flaw you "think you have" there's 10 beautiful things you haven't even realized! These seemingly "thought to be flaws" are what make us unique and beautiful, so don't sell yourself short, especially about not getting married earlier in life, most of us that did eventually regret it. There are plenty of us single guys that would love to marry a sweet soul like you appear to be, but at 58 my time has passed for such beautiful dreams. Ps. don't listen to the haters, I too think we have soul mates, even if it means different things to different people.
In God no. But you kind of have to earn it. You need to love yourself, know what you like, work together and work hard to keep what you have. In a way I see a wedding ring as a medal for your efforts and a reminder that you have something precious together that you should try and protect.
I don't really believe in soul mates. I think there are a few people who are more compatible with you than anyone else in the world, and that God can help us find them, but that He also gave us the ability to go out, look for them, and have good enough judgement to find them.
u No, because "soul mates" don't exist. They're not real. In marriage, it's a man and a woman who met, got to know each other, consciously and freely chose to get married, and swore to love and honor each other through all things.
Yes, God arranges things in His Providence and Wisdom, but we must act in cooperation with the same.
You will not meet your soulmate sitting in front of a computer or in front of your TV.. You have to "GO outside" socialize... various options, social clubs, church, nightclubs, just "GO OUT"
I asked God not send me anyone dating is too complicated and people make it complicated.. society rushes into too much and men want to be chase
9 years single
I personally do. This may only apply to people on a very spiritual path though. For myself though I have long believed this to be the case
Yes, my dad is praying in a baptist church. Ask for. His ribs were back, and six weeks later, my Dad married mom. I ask to found my ribs three week my brother take me to a restaurant
I fall in love immediately with this girl.
I'm starting to think that I'm not meant to have a wife, but God has granted me other things that I've wanted. I'm 29 and I've learned to live with my singleness.
God isn't going to give you a husband. That's something you have to figure out for yourself.
I ask God to send me a woman who is being sent to me from him
If you want a husband, go out and find one. If you're waiting for god to do it for you, you're going to be waiting forever. Time waits for nobody
No, I found my husband and I can say I never did anything to earn him.
You can’t “earn” anything from God. It’s by His Grace we are saved in the first place.
Nope and soul mates aren't real
No, I don't believe so
No, I just have to look under more rocks.
You've left it very late for whatever reason.
