It's more meaningful to choose a spouse conscientiously than to search for a supposed soul mate. It is much more romantic for someone to say to his or her spouse, "No, you weren't chosen by someone else; you were chosen by me. I chose you. And I will continue to choose you every day of our life, every year of our life for eternity."
Love is not about you. Love is not about you getting everything you want like you're on a shopping spree.
People misunderstand love and believe that a relationship with a soul mate will come easily and go smoothly. When the "feeling" of love isn't there, someone might use it as an excuse to give up.
Infatuation is not love. Infatuation is immature. It's easy. It doesn't require anything of you.
Love requires everything of you. Love requires sacrifice and work and diligence and faithfulness. It is not an easy emotion.
