Daily Zohar # 1795 – Tazria – Created as one, born separately
.
Hebrew translation:
24. מִשּׁוּם שֶׁאָדָם הָרִאשׁוֹן וְזִוּוּגוֹ חָטְאוּ לַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא, וְעַל כֵּן נִפְרָדִים כְּשֶׁיּוֹצְאִים מִלְמַעְלָה, עַד שֶׁיִּהְיֶה רָצוֹן מִלִּפְנֵי הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא. אִם זוֹכֶה אָדָם, נוֹתְנִים לוֹ זוּגָתוֹ, וְאִם לֹא – מַפְרִידִים אוֹתָהּ מִמֶּנּוּ, וְנוֹתְנִים אוֹתָהּ לְאַחֵר, מוֹלִידִים בָּנִים שֶׁלֹּא כָּרָאוּי. וְעַל זֶה כָּתוּב (שם ו) לֹא יָדוֹן רוּחִי בָאָדָם. מַה זֶּה רוּחִי? רוּחוֹ הָיָה צָרִיךְ לִהְיוֹת! אוֹתָן שְׁתֵּי רוּחוֹת שֶׁיּוֹצְאוֹת זוּגוֹת, לֹא יִדּוֹנוּ יַחַד. וְעַל זֶה כָּתוּב וְיָלְדָה זָכָר, וְלֹא כוֹלֵל זָכָר וּנְקֵבָה כְּפִי דֶּרֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, שֶׁהֵם גָּרְמוּ.

Zohar Tazria
The soul of Adam came out of the unification of Zeir Anpin and Malchut. His soul was male and female until the woman, Eve, was separated from him.
Leviticus 12:2
“ אִשָּׁה כִּי תַזְרִיעַ, וְיָלְדָה זָכָר”
“A woman who becomes pregnant and gives birth to a male….”
After the sin, the souls of male and female that come to this world are born separately. If a man has a merit, his female part is joining him and if not, she is given to another.
Many single men and women are looking for their soul mates, believing that marrying their other half a soul brings life of bliss. This is only an image pushed on us from the other side, distracting us from the process of correction. Countless number of people rejected a true soul mate because they didn’t ‘fit’ the ideal image.
We are still in the world of Tikkun and there must be a process of correction for each one of us. Marriage is another stage in the Tikkun process. In most cases, it is harder than going through an individual process.
