Meant to be?...Really?

I heard the cutest quote at a wedding a couple weekends ago. My wonderful friend since I was in 8th grade got married to an equally wonderful man. Pictures cannot even capture how beautiful she was that day! She had everybody tearing up. It was a gorgeous wedding and I couldn't be happier for the two of them.

While the bride was getting ready, she was starting to get a little anxious. She was talking to her other bridesmaids about how she just wanted to "get to him" and see him. She spent the whole day preparing for him and now she just wanted to get to him. Be with him. Finally hold the hand of the man she would soon marry.

Of course, hearing her excitement to see him, we all let out little "awww's" and smiled back at her. We all shared in her excitement. Then one bridesmaid said "And that's how it'll always be. It's not just today". 

Wow. How true. Once you find the man you marry, you're always going to want to "get to him". You'll always want to be with him, love him, support him, help him, and be his number one fan.  That feeling of "man, I wish I could just be with him right now. Forget everything else and just be with him" will never (or at least should never) leave.

Upon hearing this, I instantly started daydreaming about my future hunk. I couldn't wait to meet the man I'm meant to be with. But the more I think about this topic, the more I ask this question:

Is there really a man out there - our other half - that God made specifically for us and we just got to find him? Or is it simply that God knows who we'll end up with?

In my twenty years of life, I can't remember going more than two weeks without dreaming about "the man God has for me". But isn't that a little ridiculous? Why would God, a jealous God who wants us to want Him, make a perfect guy who could possibly take my attention away from him?

Where in the Bible does it say that God has made a guy specifically for you? Could it be that we have simply made it up in our minds? It doesn't help when women all over say things like "God has the perfect guy for you" and "you two were meant to be together".

I can't decide if I believe that's true anymore. God never said "I have the spouse for you". He said he will grant us the desires of our hearts but He knows us best and maybe getting married isn't really our hearts desire. It could be our worldly, fleshy desire.

I don't think he made one specific person for another person. I'm starting to believe now that maybe he has multiple people who could be perfect for us and he gives us the option to chose. He knows who we will end up with. As long as we chose somebody who loves God, builds your relationship with him, and loves you with everything.. isn't that really all God desires?

On the other hand, maybe God did create a man with me in mind. Maybe he really is working issues out in our lives and winding our paths so that they eventually cross and we meet. Maybe he does have the perfect guy (for me) out there and he wants us to be together to furthur glorify His kingdom. It's not good for man to be alone (Genesis). Even though the Bible doesn't specifically say "I have made a guy for you", doesn't mean it's not true.

But how can classify this as truth if it's not in the Bible? Could it be that it's mere wishful thinking? Or could it be that I'm doubting, once again, the greatness of God and underestimating his power to bring two people together for His good?

If anyone has any thoughts on this topic, that would be great!
