No, I get what you're saying! I definitely don't think we're to far apart here--I've always talked about it this way: I think my parents are soulmates in that right now there's no one else for them. But they didn't start out that way. They've spent the last twenty-five years becoming soulmates. Like you say about souls matching up. It involves a lot of hard work and it isn't at first sight (though I believe in profound attraction at first sight, that's not love--love is so much deeper and more faithful and committed and sacrificial than that). And I don't believe in destiny (I'm about as far from Calvinist as you can get and still be Christian. TEAM FREE WILL) myself but real, powerful love is definitely something I can get behind.

the powers that be made those kids fall in love because it served the mission. not real. THE SECOND I CAME TO THIS CONCLUSION IT BECAME MY CANON AND I WILL NEVER LET IT GO EVER.

I AGREE WITH THIS COMMENT.
