You are asking, 'Is the concept of soul mates more useful than marriage?' Concepts don't matter. What matters is your understanding.

I think the whole concept of monotheism is a gift from the gods.
We have, without any fanfare or much conversation, moved into a era in which news organizations are expected to explain themselves. Twenty years ago, it would not be expected that the New York Times would explain itself. The concept of what accountability.
