It is just purely impossible to be happy and contented without some sort of spirituality in our consciousness. It is just totally totally impossible. Materialism is never enough.. we just keep substituting one demand for the ohter. You think you will be happy once you get this, get that, etc, but in reality, it never happens.. There is always something else to worry about and something to be taken care of. You might feel now that once you get a soulmate you might be happy, but what if your health starts failing then? I hope I get my point across.
Besides you don't want a soulmate when you are not happy yourself. Because, then at that time your soulmate will also not be happy.. So the idea is to first grow up yourself and seek some form of spiritual fulfillment before you would even seek a soulmate.
I don't know if you believe in any religion, but starting to go to some religious organization is a start. If you totally don't believe in religion, doing some voluntary work for the society might also give you some spiritual satisfaction. But society helping is limited.. there are many times when it won't satisfy you..so I prefer first to be religious and then next to take care of the society and my family.
