The "soul-mate" marriage can only lead to unrealistic expectations and a quick outlet for escaping from a relationship. People believe that soul-mates are people that compliment each other so well, it's as if they were designed especially to be together. When people get this concept in their minds, they start building a set of criteria that another person must match in order to be considered the searchers soul-mate. whether people are aware of it or not, they be constantly overlooking people that they could potentially fall in love with, because they may not possess some mundane characteristic in order to be perfectly compatible.
Two completely different people may fall just as two very similar people could. Therefore, how do we determine what makes people soul-mates? The world is full of too many multdimesional people for any two to be considered perfect for each other. And on the same note, they're are probably more than one person that each of us coud fall in love with, its just a matter of time and place.
Searching for a soul-mate is a losing battle. It gives people an excuse to avoid love or give up on a relationship just because it isnt absoultely flawless. For example, in the section "who wants to marry a soul mate," it says that "87% of people agreed that they will find that special someone when they are ready to get married." This could cause problems because people may decide they want to get married before they have found the right person and then begin desperately searching for someone to fill that position. THis may cause people to either rush into a marriage becuase they have convinced themselves that they are ready or end up searching forever because their criteria is too unrealistic
