Sadie Robertson Huff Explains Why You’ll Never Find Your Soulmate
By Movieguide® Contributor
Christian speaker Sadie Robertson Huff brought some family members from the DUCK DYNASTY gang onto her podcast to tackle one of life’s biggest questions — how do you know when you found the one?
“I don’t think there is the one. I think there’s the one you decide ‘I want to spend the rest of my life with and commit to this person,’” Huff’s uncle Al Robertson said on the “WHOA That’s Good” podcast.
Al and wife Lisa have been married 40 years and have authored books together, such as “A New Season” and “Desperate Forgiveness” and share publicly about how God redeemed their marriage even after infidelity.
“I was like, ‘I’m all in. I’m a brand new Christian, and I want to live my life with this person.’ And I knew it wasn’t going to be easy,” Al said about his decision to marry Lisa.
“I made a commitment in all this. So we went through a bunch of difficulty, but I was still committed through the process, no matter what,” he went on to say.
His niece agreed with the notion that it wasn’t about finding “the one” but about finding the one that is God’s best — someone whose values and goals align with one’s own.
“I think it’s good to not look at it like that. Because I think if you view it as like, there is one person out there for you [and you] have to find the one,” Huff said. “Then I think if you get married and then you go through hardship, it leaves more room open to be, ‘I choose the wrong one.’ It’s like, no, you committed to this person and you didn’t make the wrong decision.”

Sadie reflected on her relationship with her husband Christian, whom she has been married to since 2019 and shares two children with.
“Whereas, when Christian and I came together, I thought he was absolutely incredible. I felt like he was God’s best for me,” Huff said. “Our lives were aligning, the dreams that we had passions we had, our morals. Everything was aligning. Was it perfect? No. Is it like…I found the unicorn in the world?”
“I think when you put that pressure on yourself to find it…like you have to find the one. And if you don’t, what? If you miss it, and then you set yourself up for failure,” Huff said. “You find the person you feel is God’s best for you, you make a commitment and then you go through life together, committed to the covenant you made for the Lord, and you have God, you know, helping you stay together.”
Si Robertson added the importance of looking at family dynamics and the “emotional baggage” that can be brought into the relationship.
“You need to look at parents. Who are they, you know, what are their beliefs, what is their mode of operation?” Si said. “You’re two individuals; you’re raised different than he was raised. So it’s, profound…you need to be looking at it realistically, what do you got in common?”
Al shared how it’s vital in a marriage to “leave room for growth,” as the individual within a couple will both change throughout the marriage and each season brings about different challenges. He uses the example of how his and Lisa’s relationship has grown since her diagnosis of breast cancer.
“I was a little surprised when she said, ‘Now I know how much you love me.’ And at first it took me back,” he recalled. “I thought, ‘Well, babe, did you not think I loved you before?’ She said, ‘No, I knew you did. She said, but I didn’t know the level you did until you took care of me through this cancer stuff.’”
“I realized that was a growth on my part that God had brought into that. So I was all in through whatever happened. And so that has grown, the relationship in the marriage,” Robertson continued.
Earlier this year Lisa Robertson had breast surgery to remove the cancer and shared how she has been trusting the Lord through the process.
“I feel like this is just another part of my story that God is gonna help me to bless other people with,” she said.
“I think your reaction is the most important thing. whenever you have somebody say, well, ‘You have cancer,’ so what is your reaction?” Lisa posted on Instagram. “Well, then i’m going to praise God. it’s not something you look forward to, but I’m looking forward to growing in in my walk with Jesus.”
