Yes, I do. But my opinion of soulmates has changed since I've gotten older.

When I was younger, I had this glamourized version of a soulmate and what it consisted of. He would be tall, dark and handsome, very successful and treated me like the princess I wanted to be!! I did, indeed, have a couple very serious relationships with men who fit this criteria -- or who seemed to -- on the surface. But, everything that shines and glitters is not gold!!! That's pretty much all it turned out to be was surface. These "princes" were not all they appeared to be.

After these painful experiences, I was very disallusioned and thought I will never find my prince charming, i.e., my soulmate.

Many years later, after I suffered a lot of toads, etc., I gave up entirely. Nearly un-noticed, strolled by my husband. A man who most would not give a second look at, self included, not the most handsome, dashing, or well dressed, not the dashing, tall, dark and handsome prince I had longed for as my soulmate in my younger days, but something about him -- grabbed my heart -- and that -- as they say -- was all she wrote!

He was nothing like what I had thought I wanted -- but he was, and is --- everything I need!!!!

When you least expect it, it could happen. It did to me!!!

I don't necessarily think "soulmates" refers to married couples. I believe you can have a friend as a soulmate - someone you feel you have known all your life. I think finding a soulmate is very rare. I haven't come close to experiencing this.

@ladyroxanne I totally agree with your statement Ms Lady. I find it so very sad when soulmates find each other but cannot for reasons known (or not) be together.

@Alsee Very well said, very sad too.

Yes, some people are meant to be together. It can happen in the blink of an eye.

Yes, I do but I also think that if you do meet your soulmate, it's like a miracle because the odds are not with us. It doesn't happen often. Having said that, happiness in a marriage or relationship does not depend on marrying one's soulmate. No one should put their life on hold hoping to meet that person. You can have a lovely life with an "almost" soulmate.
