Day 99: Evolution or Creation?

So the question remains; is there a perfect match for each of us, or is a happy marriage about finding someone compatible enough to stay with for a lifetime? 

I've been asking this question every since I understood the concept of marriage and it's totality.  And in the end it comes down to a matter of belief.  That we evolved.  Or that we were created.  Because if we're a product of evolution, then our choice of mate might simply be characterized as a selection based on compatible qualities.  Race, Religion, Wealth, Education.  And the search for a spouse becomes formulaic as we latch onto the cloest match we can find.   But if we are created beings with a specific destiny, then perhaps love is what happens when two souls realize that they were created for each other.  Each being a lesser half, together they make up the whole.  When you're part of someone in a way that goes beyond your self and your own survival, there is staying power.  There's a reason to push through the duldrums and routine.  Through the dissapointment.  Because you were created to be together.  And so you don't even think about quitting.  At least not in a serious sort of way.  You don't allow yourself to "what-if."  You don't wonder if you'd already be a mother by now.  Because you have your other.  In a world where half of all marriages turn false, you've been blessed with something true.

I don't know if there's one man or woman created for each of us.  But there is one thing I know; deep in the place where only truth resides, past all emotion, past all formulas.  I know that my heart has found the one it longed for.  That I am my beloved's and he is mine.
