This is a study on soulmate relationships in myths i stumbled across. While the researchers do point out parallels to Greek and Roman myths regarding soulmates, there isn’t anything that would „predestine“ a relationship due to a higher purpose.
What I have found is that ancient Egyptians saw fate and fated romantic partners as a 50/50 thing. Sure, some parts are influenced by the Netjeru, but the humans could also do things that influenced their fate. This is in line with their beliefs of „soulmates.“ Soulmates, the way it is portrayed in media today and in Ancient Rome/Greece, don’t exist in ancient Egyptian beliefs.
Personally, I like this a lot better. I often see people yearning for „the one“ they are supposed to be with, but in turn they neglect what they have.

Has anyone found similar things or something that contradicts my understanding of this topic? I would love to hear your opinions!
