I said it before: the idea of soulmates is magical thinking that often traps people in abusive or toxic relationships.
Being love-bombed by a manipulator can groom you into thinking they are your soulmate.
They are not.
Soulmate ideology is neither Biblical nor Catholic.
Your spouse to be is not necessarily someone who gives you tingles or makes your heart go pitter patter.
Even modern therapy acknowledges that soulmates don’t exist.
Yet there are “Catholics” who want to believe in this nonsense and remain living in La-La Land.
Many of them often overlook or reject suitable spouses and continue chasing after the dream - which is just that - a dream.
These people are immature and have no business getting married.
As Catholics, we are to discern, find someone with compatible goals and aspirations, and more importantly virtue.
A pretty face or buff body does not a successful marriage make.
As FR. Ripperger said, regardless of how the person looks, if they have virtue, you will be happy for the rest of your life.
However, if they don’t have virtue, you will pay for it, the rest of your life. 🌹🙏🌹
