Are couples really made in heaven?
There was a time when I believed that couples are made in heaven. 'There is someone, somewhere made for each one of us' but my opinions and the concept received a jolt, thanks to the society.
MY EARLY memories as a young girl include watching romantic films, listening to ultra romantic love songs, reading Mills n Boons and after being influenced by all of them, wandering in the fantasy world with my prince charming! 
As I grew up and encountered the real world, I was forced to come out of this dreamland. And today I am bound to rethink and reconsider the concept because the king of heavens is not expected to commit a mistake. Will he make a mismatch? Just look around yourself and see if all the couples gel perfectly with each other, enjoying the life with utmost harmony and love. If not then how can we expect the precision to be compromised at the level of Almighty?
Many of these couples who were believed to be made in heaven, actually made the lives of each other and their families, hell. This statement is very well supported by excessively high rates of divorce, in last few years, especially in a conventional country like ours. Every other day you find news of one partner being murdered by the other, cases of infidelity, domestic violence and the frequency is much higher among the newlyweds or the young couples.
It is all about adjustment and loosening one’s self for the worse, these days it is the most common version about an institute called marriage. And I keep wondering, if these men and women were really bonded by the heavenly forces, they are meant to be the soul mates of each other. A little analysis of the theory suggests that some mistake does happen either at our end or at the end of heaven. Who is at fault? Either the actual partners (the one being made in heaven) are not able to find each other; hence the mismatch and the disaster thereafter, or the partners are being wrongly coupled at the first place (the heaven). In the first case, I think we need to put in more efforts and be patient to avoid the disasters. The search for your partner should be more rigorous, deep rooted and guided by the heart. Marriages should not be the outcome of impulsive decisions, parental pressure, society, monetary reason.
Marriage is spending your whole life with someone; it is about living in the same house with the kids. It is not just living under the same roof but living for each other’s dreams and fighting for each other’s fears. What if the case is otherwise? Is it possible that all of us are actually given the right partners by the God himself and he has purposely made mismatches, at least in some cases? Or is it that our thinking and emotional sphere is too narrow to realize and understand the working phenomenon of the heavens? With so many question marks, I am still not convinced with the theory. I am neither for nor against it.
