For the most part, the western world has dropped the custom of arranged marriages, but marriages are often arranged in heaven for souls – and by souls – long before the lives of the persons involved. Purpose flows throughout all lives, including any marriage(s) in them. These purposes existed before the persons did. The reason for planning marriages on a soul level is to promote soul growth. Thus a “marriage made in heaven” may be quite different from the usual earth meaning of that term.
