Do you believe in 'the one'? 😍

Is there just one person out there for you? Or are there multiple compatible partners for each of us? What do you think?

No. I don't believe that everyone has their 'one'. It is statistically unlikely. For those who find their ''one'', blessed are they.

I don’t think there’s only one. I think God will find Christians and bring them together so that they can make each other stronger in their faith. I see it more like that instead of there being the one.

I believe God has more than one person. Yet, when He puts a woman and a man in each other's path, He also gives them free will to choose one another.

I think God can guide us to the right person. But I don't think there is some concept like "the one" , but better like "God happen'd"

Of course there are multiple compatible partners. If people didn't have so many standards as most do in this day and age, there would be a lot less single people in my opinion. Not to mention there are a lot less individuals living truly as a Christian these days so it's even more difficult to find compatible partners.

Proverbs 19:14b : "but a prudent wife is from the Lord" Proverb 21:1: "the king's heart is in the hands of The Lord like a river of water; He turns it wherever He will". Nothing in Scripture ever suggest there is "the one", only that the right one is from within the faith. But God also knows what we will end up choosing freely; He may choose to refine our thoughts and our choices if you permit him or expose areas in the other half that is being kept secret.

I believe that there are multiple compatible partners (in terms of widows and such) but that God has a plan for us with a certain person for our season.

God's gift of grace through Jesus is not so we can remain in sin and bondage and death, but to set us free! Jesus came to set the captives free!

How do I know this Jennifer, because Jesus delivered me and healed me from homosexuality 12 years ago when I cried out to Him and repented, I asked Jesus to pray for me, and bam, He showed up in my room and delivered me right there, immediately my mind was cleansed, my eyes were cleared, colors all came to life, and I never looked at people with lust or perversion again. And joy and peace and real love flooded me from Jesus!

Relationship wise? Yes, I do believe in "the one" for me. Someone who loves me for who I am and will always be there for me wherever I go and wherever I am in the world, this one person is always thinking about me.

I'm not 100% sure; the big question about this subject for me is that of widows and widowers remarrying. If everyone has just "one," then are they cheating by remarrying?

I'd have to say yes, I always believed that, but then I realized the one, my true love was Jesus. Other than that I think true love can only exist if more than one person believes in it and cultivates it's values, but in today's age, I don't think people do that anymore. So I'll just stick with Jesus, and I prefer it to settling.

I think what I've observed from all the marriages around me is that no matter what your initial feelings are, love becomes a choice at some point. So with that in mind I think you could probably make things work with almost anyone long term as long as you're on the same page. But if you start getting into predestination then maybe there was only ever the one? 😅

I think you have to take into account free will, we know in the bible God called people and they dont always respond We are all given salvation but many dpnt respond and accept it into their lives. So God can call people together as proven in scripture but people can act otherwise or if people die move on. Abraham was called to be with Sarah but still had a righteous marriage for decades after she passed away. So yes but we have the freedom to ignore that calling

I do believe God anoints us to be joined with specific people. His plan is perfect and purposeful, so if He calls us to jobs, locations, missions, etc., why would it be any different? Now, we have free will. We saw what happened to Saul when he used his kingship for his own glory. God took his anointing as King and gave it to David. I believe the same can happen with relationships. God's purpose for our lives will be fulfilled, whether someone wants to join or not.

This is interesting as I used to believe in 'the one' till I lost my husband unexpectedly. Funnily enough, I think a part of me still wants to believe that we can have two 'the ones' 😂 But in reality loving after loss is a great example of how we can have more than one compatible companion.

I think there are multiple good options, but God still knows all, so he gives us the choice and knows which one we will choose before we do. And yes, I agree that waiting for “the one” can be unhelpful if we are expecting someone perfect. That’s not fair to others.

In addition to some of the answers here, I think we should avoid the concept of “the one” as it has potential to damage. If you’re set on a perfect person who clicks with you perfectly then you may overlook/disregard people, or worse start having doubts about your existing partner.

I believe there are many people we could have a decent marriage with. But the best partners are those that God wants for us. And if we surrender to him, he will lead us towards them, in time. Whether he has one person in mind or multiple possibilities, I don't know.

I think the underlying question is, does God determine who we love or have we been given the ability to choose from our own hearts? Depending on the answer, there are either many potential partners or only “the one”
