It's common but incorrect for the most part. It just wishful thinking that god made someone to be your other half. No where in the bible does it mention that we get a mate hand picked by god. You also have to consider that our souls are immortal so we might not meet anyone while alive. God choosing for us defeats the whole point of giving us free will. We're supposed to choose our mate(s) and figure out on you own if you're compatible or not. It's no different than having to make any other choice in life. Sex is a very important part of compatibility. I'm not christian or religious. I just read the bible while trying to maintain a objective point of view. |
The idea of "soulmate" stems from the Adam and Eve passages. Eve was specifically designed for (and from) Adam. That was the original "marriage". While marriage or a singular person is never guaranteed to anyone, and I don't believe there's "The One" out there. Soulmates don't have to mean that in the sense of a bad romantic comedy. There's a lot to a good partner than predetermination. 
I actually had a long conversation about this kind of topic with Wright. Would you be able to live happily with someone forever without being able to have sex at all. I don't think this is quite that situation, but I don't believe that sex is the most important factor in a spouse. I'm kinda rambling and we're drifting more off-topic, but I don't mind rambling over PM.
Edit: As I've researched this a bit more, it seems that this is a rightly contested topic. A couple of more examples, but a good discussion regardless.
