Soul-Mates

[OneTimeSBX]

i believe there is more than one soulmate per person. i know a man whose mother was married for 22 years to his mother, and remarried and was with the 2nd husband for 38 years. now, i know that time married does not equal soul mates, but her children (all 8 of them) truly felt as though this man embodied their father 100%, and were glad someone could fill that space in her life.

i also believe that soulmate doesnt always equal husband/wife. i feel as though some people i have met over the years will always be in my life and i immediately felt a connection when i met them. i have a coworker i have worked with for a year, and it feels like we are sisters on some higher level. we look alike, love the same things, finish each others sentences...its very weird, but i almost feel the same connection with her as i do my blood sisters...

I pretty much agree with you. I don't think that the soulmate has to be the person that you marry/carry on a lifelong intimate love relationship with. I feel that a soulmate can be a child/friend/relative/life partner, etc. Additionally I feel that a person can have more than one soulmate. Right now I am 23 and I am in a relationship with a man that I feel I could spend my life with. Do I feel like he's my soulmate? I don't know about that just yet, but I do believe that God brought us together and that he has a major purpose in my life.

I guess I really don't believe in a soul mate as being one person that you marry because by definition a soul mate is just someone that you have a strong affinity to. As was previously stated and I agree with, a soul mate could be my best friend of whom I have known since I was in grade school. We have been through thick and thin and she will always be my best friend and soul mate.

Having a soul mate and meeting the love of your life are different concepts in my opinion.

^^But it is nice if there is some overlap there too.
