is there such a thing as a soul mate. I am a Christian but I dont believe in the whole soulmate thing .?

Answer 1

There is not a thing as a soul mate. It is an easy answer to a complex solution. It is also an easy way to justify divorce. Many divorces happen because he/she just "wasn't my soul mate". All relationships take effort and hard work, and cannot just exist beforehand. Sure, there is a predisposition for certain people to get along better, but when hard trials come - and they will - a relationship that lasts is only one that is carefully tended and very well taken care of. You can also see my answer to Krazy_gal04 's Question: "What is a soul mate and how do you know when you've found yours?" (I'll copy&paste it here)

"Sorry, but there isn't really such a thing as a 'soul mate' - there is not some specific person you were meant to be with you forever. Relationships are something that need to be worked at, and saying that he or she 'was not my soul mate' is an easy answer to get out of a relationship. A good relationship must be nurtured and cared for; it cannot just exist already without work, as people suppose when they think of 'soul mate'. You won't find a soul mate, but you can work towards becoming one - relationships take effort, and without it they are not worth it anyway.

Answer 2

The people that believe in 'Soul Mates' are usually already settled in a co-dependant relationship. Having a Soul Mate requires the giving and receiving of unconditional love. I don't know anyone in such a relationship.

I am a Christian also. I do believe that there is someone for everyone. However, I don't necessarily believe that a soul mate has to be for romance or intimacy. It maybe that your soul mate is your Mom or Dad. When I think of a soul mate; I think of someone that is a kindred spirit. So you may have many or just one.
