I've had similar thoughts.
I always wondered if my future husband was someone I already knew, in my life, right now, or someone that I would meet later? I first began to wonder during a bad relationship that I should have gotten out of sooner... and after watching the Beatles movie "A Hard Day's Night". Apparently, one of the extras was Ringo's (?) future wife who he had already known during (and before) the shoot.
Also, these thoughts assume a lot of things. I know a lot of people's goals are marriage but I don't think you should count on it as a requirement for society. Society favors married couples (tax breaks, benefits, social stigma, etc) but I think this is slowly changing since more and more people are becoming single. And ok with it.
