Hi, my name is Father Mike Schmitz and this is a centric presence.

So the one, if you are someone who would like to get married, you probably have dreams

of the one.

I remember being a cap, kind of captivated by this idea back, you know, back when I was

dating before the seminary, the idea of like, is there that one person out there?

You know what the one is, right?

The one is that one person out there that you're made for, that you're soulmate, the person

that you're destined to find, you're meant to find.

And if you find this person, you're going to be exceedingly and excessively happy and

and fulfilled for the rest of your, a rest of your life.

This is the person that like the Jerry McGuire, this is an old reference from maybe the

last millennia, I might even be, you complete me that kind of a thing, right?

Is that, is there such a thing as the one?

Well, answer, no.

And yes, let's get into that.

I remember when I was in college, there was our college's chaplain is a, is a priest and

at one point he, I remember him telling me, he said, yeah, you know, they were, they're

probably about 15 women that I know on my life that I could have, I could have married

and been just as happy with as with anyone else.

I was like, what?

Are you kidding me?

He's like, no, absolutely not.
