This is such a great question. When I fell in love with the wrong person, I was sure that it was because he was my soul mate. We had so much in common, and just felt right together, mind, body and soul. But, that relationship was based on fantasy because we were both married to other people. I began to convince myself that I had married the wrong person because I had finally found my soul-mate in someone else.
Don't get sucked into this lie, as if there is one person whom you are destined to end up with and you'll know him/her when you find them. Your feelings will betray you if that's all you base your people picker on. We tend to be attracted to people with the same wounded spirit we have or grew up with ~ not a recipe for success.
You get out of relationships what you put into them. My husband IS the one God intended for me. We have worked hard on our relationship over the last 20 years and we still love each other and being together because when I learned that loving someone is an action, not just a feeling, that's when we really started loving one another.
I know of people who married and it lasted years until one died. Then the one left behind married again to another fantastic person. This blows up the theory that there is only one person out there for us. We are capable of loving different people, usually they possess similar character traits, but everyone is unique.
Contrary to fate and destiny, which is like believing in chance, I believe that God knows our best mate, and if we seek His will in our choice of whom to marry, and follow, we will be with the right person for a lifetime.

I believe you have to be compatible. Even then,a relationship is work. That"soulmate" feeling is what gets you together in the first place. What counts is if you are willing to get through the hard times. I think there are several people, maybe many, depending on your personality, that a person could exist with.

Good question. I've always believed in soulmates, and have thought that many different people were my soulmate at different times in my life. My theory is that everything is pre-destined and that the right people come into your life at the right time, and that is when we consider someone our soulmate. When they move on, we look for that next connection. I also don't think that a soulmate has to be a romantic interest. I have many people I consider a "platonic soulmate". That's just my theory anyway.

I think there are people that come into your life for a reason or a season. Some come in for just a short time and what they left was memories others come into your life for reasons to either help you or touch your life in some way. Then there is that one person that you give your soul and heart to that no other can have.
Yes I believe there is a soulmate for each one of us. I think there is only one.
I know because I have mine.

I don't think the person for each of us has already been chosen and we just have to look for them. I think a person BECOMES your soulmate after you work to make a good, solid relationship.
Like anything else, it takes work.

Hello. Concerning your question on soulmates, I do believe GOD tailored made one such person for each of us. Since God is our Maker, He knows exactly WHO is best for us. Those who've not waited for the right one assigned by God have gotten less than best... by their own choosing. Now let's assume the one chosen for YOU does not want you, then God has someone who is the BEST for you in stead. God brought Eve to Adam, and it was ordained of God. If you will wait for His selection it'll be best, but that's not to say it'll be easy street from there on. You've got to work hard and diligently to further secure and foster the relationship. Good luck.

I believe it is a term used by emotionally immature persons to describe two emotionally mature people who meet and are attracted to one another and equipped with the skills to keep a relationship alive, growing, and interesting.
