Do you beleive in soul mates?

Question

Has anyone ever met there soul mate? if they have how do you know it is your soul mate that you have met?

Answer 1

I believe that you do have more than one soulmate. However, I also believe that there is usually one that is more suited for you than any of the others.
I feel I was lucky enough to meet mine early on in life. And now we have been married for 27 years.
We began as friends in High School. And we were there for each other as friends for a long time before becoming intimately involved. But, all I can tell you is my experience. I can't talk for other people, but, my husband and I always talk about how we are soul mates. And we know this because of how we feel and have always felt around each other. Or even when we are apart.
A soulmate is not just a lover. This person loves you unconditionally and you love them unconditionally. Your hearts are together, even when you are apart. The true test is when things are going wrong. Even when you think that you can't make it, and life is too hard, and that person is still there for you, no matter what happens. This person is the only one who does not abandon you when you have completely lost your mind. I mean we all have times of complete craziness, and most people will just walk away and leave you alone. But, your soul mate will stand up for you, even when you have hurt them. Cause they know you, I mean really know you, and they know you will come to your senses and everything will be okay. I am not talking about being codependent or anything like that. I mean that they are just there for you and support you, even when they are unsure of the circumstances.
They are your best friend. You can count on them no matter what. Even after years have passed, they still make your heart beat faster, make you smile uncontrolably, and lift your spirits up just being in your presense. Or just hearing their voice.
A soul mate knows you inside and out. They really get you. Even when it seems noone else understands or even cares to understand you. They empathize, and they encourage you when it seems all hope is lost.
They seem as though they are an extension of you. That your souls seems somehow entertwined.
It just feels more RIGHT than any other relationship you have or have had. It feels like you knew them before this life. Like you agreed to meet when you got here and recognize each other immediately. Even if only on a sub concious level at first.
This does not mean that you won't have disagreements from time to time.
As your soulmate is also there to push your buttons. To make you face your.....well.....crap. To make you see yourself and what you can become. To make you reach your full potential as a person. To give you confidence when you have none. To teach you things. Like how to be good to yourself........not to take other peoples crap..........to love yourself the way you are.
A soulmate will give you strength to push yourself forward to your dreams, even if that means they get left behind. The soulmate wants you to be happy even if that means you go on without them. And when you find this person. You feel whole, you feel like noone and nothing can touch you. That you are safe.
I also think a soulmate keeps you closer to God. Not so much in a religious sense as a spiritual sense. When you are with a soulmate, your heart is more open, and your spirit is more free and you can accomplish anything. And go much farther that you would have had you not had their influence.
So again, to answer your question, sure there is always people out there that will make your life more fullfilling.
And these people can be called lots of things. From the "right one" to "Soulmate".
For me "soulmate" works the best. It's just a word that describes the person that is your other half.

Answer 2

I don't believe in Soul Mates. I believe if you want a relationship to work, you have to really try at it. That may not *sound* optimistic, but it's a lot deeper than you would think. You see, "Soul Mate" implies that the relationship is destined. And "Destiny" implies that it's going to happen, no matter what. Not true; you have total control of your life, and it's up to you where it's going to move.

There's no point in gettig caught up in meant-to-be's, and here's why. When you start to look at a relationship, you'll see that you or the other person could have just as easily ended up with someone else, or start to question if you were "meant to be" with somone else. That's the kind of thing that can ruin a perfectly good relationship.

Personally, I think the concept of "Destiny" is a little depressing. I mean, sure, it would be great if my life would run its course no matter what, but then doesn't that mean that some people are 'destined' to be unhappy?

It takes a lot more strength to *push* for a better future, than to *hope* for one.

Answer 3

Some people can be very well matched, so I can understand the term. I wonder if there is a soul mate for everyone. It is a nice thought to think there is, but I don't think it is practical for every one to search through out their life to find that one person and put their whole life on hold or go from mate to mate searching.

Answer 4

The problem with soul mates is that you need to define what you mean by soul mate.

If you mean that there is one soul mate for you in the whole world, then... it would be hard to figure things and belief would rather be called hope. Yes, there are persons who might steal your heart and soul and sometimes would take years for you to find it back.

You rather mean there is a certain type of person or personality that you seek for. In that case, there are many people with whome you may fall in love with and have a nice life happily ever after. In this case "beleif" is rather not the word, but the word is "chance."

I've experienced stolen soul and bad luck.

Answer 5

Yes i do. When i split from my little boys father i was desolate and thought I'd never be happy and now I'm with someone who restored my faith in love. He sent me a message which said 'thin kin of you my soul mate, lover and best friend' which means everything to me and its on my phone still to this day. We talked for 3 months before meeting so we knew everything there was to know about each other, we're now living together and have a 2 month old little boy. He is my true soul mate. I hope you find yours if you haven't already xx

Answer 6

Your soul mate isn't always going to be a lover. And often enough, its even someone of the same sex. A soul mate, is a soul your soul recognizes. I've had many. One in particular, started off as a relationship. Then over the past 11 years, even though we didnt stay in contact, we kept running into one another. It usually would happen at times in our lives when we desperately needed a friend. And somehow, we always seemed to pick up where we left off (as friends that is...not as lovers), as if no time had passed between us. He is one of my soul mates.

Answer 7

I believe in soul mates. I've been dating my boyfriend for a year and a half now and I really know that he is the one for me. there are times where he slacks a bit, just like any guy in a relationship, but for the most part I pretty much know that I want to be with him for the rest of my life.

Answer 8

Yes I do! I believe that there is one person who shares the same soul with someone else..

That does not mean however that you can not get along with anyone else. I think that there are a lot of people who can be compatiblewithsomeone and this is very fortunate because it would be very difficult to search the world for your soulmate. People rarely are lucky enough to find their soulmate. When you do, you realize it almost immediately, you just know!

I also believe in kindred spirits. These can even be of the same sex and they are said to be people with compatible souls.

Answer 9

I don't know if i believe in soul mates as such, but i do believe in fate and that when you meet a person you can click with or dislike that person for no reason. I believe in reincarnation and I believe that the people in our lives now were around us in our past lives in some form, eg my daughter could have been my sister or best friend etc.

Answer 10

Yes, I have met my soul mate, and I'm married to him. You feel it very deep inside like no other. It makes all your past relationships seem like puppy love. It's very hard to explain, but believe me, you will know it when the right one comes along.
