This are two questions, which I would answer one with yes one with no, for example. I believe in soulmates, which can be more than one, and I believe that one can have more than just one true love.
Yolda brings up a good point, I feel conflicted as well. Taking it even one step further, what happens if you believe in soulmates, but don't believe that everyone has one?
The idea of a soulmate is silly. Poeple fall in love from being familiar. What if your "soulmate " lived in Hong Kong but you lived in Brazil? Come on poeple are attracted to all kinds of other poeple. Not that some don't make bad choices when it comes to compatability. Can't count for ignorance.
Wow, if that is true you are really screwed in your only chance of happiness lives in Tibet.
About half of all first marriages fail in Americda. About half, according to my Sikh friend. of all arranged marriages are successful. Seems to me that a lot depends on how hard you want to work with whom you have.
If you subscribe to an arranged marriage than you are already being dominated, why would you rebel against that if you already succumbed to someones wishes other than your own. That's why they stay together, weakness to make your own choice!
I can't even begin to figure out how to answer this. I have friends who are in arranged marriages. The particular ones I spoke with about this, she is the stronger personality, and when she says "no" (like on returning to India) that carries the day. She is the smarter and more practical of the two, and he is happy to have it that way--it is one of the reasons that he asked his parents to arrange the marriage. His brother is married to her sister, and that marriage is quite successful as well. Both couples seem to be quite happy, and have less friction and a better conception of the common goals of raising children and improving the family economically than in many American marriages. I have no reason to not believe these good people when they tell me that in their country, about half of all marriages are successful--and since that is true here to of first marriages, I rather think they are right.

No to both questions.
