I want to share this nugget with you folks. Credit goes to the person mentioned below. Read on.

Biblically speaking, there is no such thing as "being called to be a wife or a husband" just as there is no such thing as "soul mates". For one, as I stated before, if God made just one person for us to find, then a widow's new spouse isn't the "one". Furthermore, the Bible says that if you desire physical intimacy (in the context of marriage) it is better to marry. If you don't desire physical intimacy or marriage, then the word says that it is better to be single.
The Lord releases people into your life based on your desires, and it's just a matter of crossing paths which the Lord orchestrates. However, the Holy Spirit will let you know if a person that you desire shouldn't be in your life especially if you are spiritually mature.
It is our job as believers to seek the Lord concerning any person that we may desire to marry. But to assume that God has made the decision that you will never marry isn't biblical and implies some kind of punishment. That's why the scriptures says that he who finds a wife finds a good thing. God never promised us spouses and neither did He state that He made some people to be single. The Bible says that if you delight yourself in the Lord, He will give you the desires of your heart. In the meantime, keep Jesus as the center of your life, learn what it means to be a husband or wife and ask the Lord for discernment...
