I’ve been listening to the Unashamed Podcast lately, and one topic that stuck with me is their belief that your spouse does not ‘complete’ you. While I understand where they’re coming from — that only God can make us whole — I do think that when God brings two people together, the right spouse can complete you in your earthly journey. Maybe that’s not the trendy take, but I’ve never been one to nod along just because it’s popular. God’s design doesn’t always fit the world’s tidy little boxes. They are your soulmate — the one who walks beside you as you both grow in faith, purpose, and grace
Many psychics and mystics believe that soulmates enter your life to teach lessons or awaken growth. The connection can be so intense that it shakes up your comfort zones — sometimes too powerful for the quiet rhythms of everyday marriage. They often say soulmates aren’t meant to marry because their purpose is spiritual transformation, not earthly partnership.
Cute theory — but let’s be real, the enemy would love to keep us from God’s version of partnership. Because a couple on fire for God? That’s spiritual warfare he can’t compete with.
Maybe true soulmates, when united under God, refine each other through love, challenge, and faith. It’s not about constant harmony; it’s about sanctification.
Iron Sharpens Iron
Proverbs 27:17 – “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.”
Meaning: Relationships, accountability, and constructive challenges from others help us grow, improve, and become stronger in character and wisdom.
When two souls come together and refine each other into God‘s image that is just so amazing and breathtaking. I mean, could you just picture it? And no, that doesn’t mean sunshine and candlelit dinners every night. Sometimes ‘iron sharpens iron’ looks more like eye rolls and learning to say sorry first.
When you’re secure in yourself and your walk with God, you recognize that when your spouse challenges you, it’s not out of wrath or revenge. It truly is meant to refine and compliment.
The world loves to complicate what God already made clear. So let’s strip it back and see what He actually says about marriage and unity — no fluff, no filters.
Unity in Marriage
Genesis 2:18, 24 – “The LORD God said, ‘It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.’ … That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.”
Marriage is designed for companionship and mutual support.Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 – “Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. … Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.”
Marriage strengthens both individuals, and God is the central strand.
Complementary Roles
Ephesians 5:21-33 – Paul speaks about mutual submission:
Verse 22-24: Wives are called to submit to their husbands as to the Lord.
Verse 25-28: Husbands are called to love their wives sacrificially, as Christ loved the church.
This passage emphasizes a balance: respect and loving leadership.
Colossians 3:18-19 – “Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.”
Mutual care and understanding complement each partner.
Partnership and Mutual Growth
Job 31 - This chapter highlights how to be a righteous man with integrity, which by extension is what makes a good husband.
Proverbs 31:10-31 – The virtuous wife passage highlights the complement between a wise, capable wife and her husband.
She is industrious, nurturing, and strong, supporting the household and her husband.1 Corinthians 11:11-12 – “Nevertheless, in the Lord woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman. For as woman came from man, so also man is born of woman. But everything comes from God.”
Men and women are interdependent and equally important in God’s plan.
Love and Respect as Core
Song of Solomon 2:16 – “My beloved is mine and I am his; he browses among the lilies.”
A poetic celebration of mutual love, delight, and intimacy.Romans 12:10 – “Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.”
Marriage thrives on mutual devotion and honor.
The Bible portrays marriage not as a hierarchy but as a complementary partnership. Men are called to lead with love and sacrifice; women are called to respect and support, but both are equal partners in God’s eyes, designed to strengthen, complete, and encourage one another in faith, love, and life.
So yes, when two become one in God’s design, that is completeness — not because we fill each other’s emptiness, but because together we reflect the fullness of His love. Call me old-fashioned, but I’ll take God’s blueprint over the world’s version of love any day. God is the glue, the guide, and the giver of all true unity.
