I do believe in soulmates. Perhaps my description differs from yours. I have been married for 37 years, will be 38 years in June. We are not soulmates. Never have been, never will be. I have friends who I communicate with almost without thought and a lot of times long distance in thought. Our souls seem mingled, so in touch when we visit. We lift each other up, help each other, communicate in a way different than I communicate with my husband or with other friends or family. It is almost like being on a different plane of existence. Could I be married to any of the soulmates I have had? Perhaps. Who could say for sure. I have few soulmates and very rare I believe. My thoughts are that when you love someone enough to marry them, your love either grows or it doesn't. Both have to work at it for the marriage to be a success. I wonder if two people who feel the connection of soulmates, would have enough differences to hold the other's attention over time?
I think everyone goes through times of thinking they married the wrong person. When you make the commitment to marriage and later find someone who you can communicate with in such a manner of soulmates, it makes your spouse seem almost like a stranger.
I believe that a soulmate is just that, a soulmate, not a spouse "should have been". Someone who can offer so much to your life, in a manner other's cannot and you can also offer the same to them. The connection is so strong that you almost seem as one. The important thing I believe is to keep it within the bounds it is meant to be. Difficult??? Yes. Confusing? Terribly at times.
However, someone who has never met and had this kind of connection with other people, could never understand it nor be blessed by it. It is a blessing to have soulmates. Just important to keep it in perspective and in context and not let it interfere in your marriage.
Do any of you believe in soulmates? And if, do you think it's possible to have married the wrong person?
I think I was blessed to have married my soulmate, and everyone has thought that they married the wrong person, when things aren't going so well. But as we grow, and learn, we keep working at it, until the grand kids get grown, and they have thir own. I think we have enough room in our lives, to love many people, all in a healthy way, that doesn't complicate our lives, but makes it better. That way we can enjoy the best of many worlds with many people.
