Among Friends

[Campion]

I wondered, as a kid, what if the ONE person you are "supposed" to marry lives in Albania?

[Drythe]

Yes, I Do.

You may think your spouse is your soulmate, but they don't think you are. So how does that work?

We are given free will in this life. Someone may "know that they know" they belong with someone and yet resist it or rebel against it because of pride, ego, etc.

I deeply believe in soulmates. I also believe you can ask the devine to be blessed with yours. It's never too late.

A soulmate doesn't come from a list you create. That's your ego placing an order with the devine. Your soulmate will educate you and open your eyes. They will complete you. They are not a carbon copy of you, they are likely your polar opposite but in that way they bring to your life what you need.

Absolutely one million percent yes! My late dh was without a doubt most definitely mine. I swear he knew me better than I knew myself at times. 

I wish everyone could have the chance in live to find their soulmate but sadly it doesn't happen for many people.

I know that he was 'a' soul mate to you until the end. I always remember February 25th and think of your sweetheart. I will never forget that sad day on December 26th, either. 

I spoke with my husband about this topic of soul mates. He thought it to be very sad that for most that certain love relationship will never be in their life.

I find the concept of loving someone and being in love is two entirely different learned behaviors. I know of being blessed with some one, a precious gift from God. That comes without ever expecting.

 I do not doubt those whom do not understand, because those who question have never experienced. Also, there are marriages that share deep love and devotion, and also, know illnesses. Soul mate is an indefinable sensation. Some have been married one year, some 10, others over 30-40-50, but it is though one heart knows the other heart and absolutely dies aways when that one heart stops beating.

 This is for you because I knew who he was to you. I find your love being one of care and and deeply rooted from trials and dark places you both had traveled and never gave up on life. I wanted you to know this.

 Here is to know of your on going health problems, that someday another beautiful day can come your way. I hope for you to be without physical pain sooner than you expected. 

I understood what you said: Sadly, it doesn't happen for many people.

Yes I do....

I've been married for 51 years so I speak from experience. The notion of a soulmate makes no sense to me at all. It is a romantic fiction like "He completes me," as if we are not totally formed humans and need another to make us whole. I do believe that it is easier for a relationship to last when the couple is on the same wavelength, with similar values and beliefs. Opposites attracting can be exciting for a time but has a harder time surviving over the long haul. Naturally, there has to be physical attraction at first, but assuming that someone else is your soulmate puts so much stress and expectation on a relationship that disappointment is sure to eventually follow.
