Is there just one person created for you: The truth about "the missing rip"

There's just one person created for you is a common fallacious statement we've heard over the years,

I've defined "perfect will of God in marriage" as the most suitable life partner best suited to assist fulfill life's purpose.

After Adam,

in Gen 2:22-24 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.

It became man's sole responsibility to seek for himself a life partner with which there will both fulfill divine purpose. thus he states:

Pro 18:22 Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD. 

Gen 2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

Man therefore can choose to consult God and abide by his direction "these is perfect will" or neglect his counsel for the partner that best suit the eyes.

It is God's will that all come to repentance, but does all come to repentance?

The place of God'swill (divine ordinance) and freewill determines whom we eventually end up with as a life partner, and there are in times and seasons.

Two major factors determining our life partners are;

1. God'swill (divine ordinance)

Ecc 9:11 I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.

¹The root word for “time" as illustrated here is the word eth, meaning time or season. Meanwhile the root words for "chance happen" are pega qarah.

Together with eth, they present a picture not of random occurrences, but“right happenings" that are dependent on the Lord's orchestration.

Although the word "chance" is used in the English translation. When you read “time and chance happen to them all,” it gives the impression of random happenings, occurrences that happen comment“luck."

2. Freewill.

Despite we may miss divine opportunities time after time, God is always in the business of making better plans for us.

But in them our freewill "power of choice" is never deprived us.

So therefore his plans are in times and seasons, and dependent on his already made provisions in "persons and substance".

This is not an attempt to legalize/encourage the place of frivolity but to stir your heart to seek God. In cases, they are obstacles that hinder the perfection of his will.

This is why it is never too early to begin praying for God's perfect will in marriage, so as not to make unnecessary mistakes.

Parents are to lay this intrinsic foundations on their knees, and as well inculcate into their children the need for steadfastness on this penitent issue that determines ones fulfillment of eternal purpose.

Common reasoning are; If there is just one person created for you?

Why is a widow or widower permitted to marry?

1 Co 7:8,9 I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I. But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.

Does the death of an individual deny another of a life partner?

Ecc 8:8 There is no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither hath he power in the day of death: and there is no discharge in that war; neither shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it.

What happens when the spouse or spouse's family refuses a proposal despite God's leading?

Does the celibacy of an individual deny another of a life partner?

1Co 7:8 I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.

What happens to the uneven gender population (105male/100female)? And lot more.

The future as we see is never definite, for it keeps changing each passing sec with the decision and indecision of its destined or non-destined occupants.

So therefore;

Is there such a thing as "there's just one person created for me" for which if I miss, I miss the perfect will of God? I'll say NO.
