Summary
Encyclopedic overview of the soulmate concept, including romantic, religious, New-Age, soul-group, and twin-flame elaborations.
Why it matters here
Closest direct reference for soul-group language, which is mostly popular or regression-derived. It supports concept mapping, not evidence that specific relationships are pre-assigned.
Linked claims
A relationship-version of 'everything happens for a reason'. Same psychology, same lack of evidence.
Drawn from regression-based literature. Comforting frame, not an evidence-based claim.
Romantic-destiny belief is widespread and emotionally powerful. As a literal claim it has zero controlled evidence; as a meaning frame it produces both the deep-bond high and well-documented relationship dysfunction.
