Just curious about soul mates vs. marriage?

Question

I was just wondering if most people believe in soul mates- and with this soul mate they will never fight or be hurt emtoionally or grow apart. If they married their "soul mate" marriage and the relationship would be easy and require little to no work? What do ya say people?

Answer 1

BS. Here's a reality tip. Love is not a feeling its an act of your will. To love someone is to CHOOSE them. To agree to marry someone is to promise and commit to choose them over others every day. That's love. That's the reality and the hard work. It's not easy. People have faults, you have faults they have faults... you have bad days and good days, etc... but you make a decision and stick to it.. and your marriage will work and last.

There's no secret to it. It's like losing weight. Put in the work and it will come off. Put in the work and your marriage will work. Your soul mate is the person who agrees to put up with you for the rest of your life.

Answer 2

MARRIAGE?!! Now why would want to go and ruin a good thing?

Soul mates don't need to be married to be together happily for life. If everything is wonderful and perfect as is...

JUST LET IT BE.

Someday, when you've BOTH reached a point where you feel absolutely CERTAIN that you want to grow old together, AND have it sanctioned by the State/Government. THEN get married.

PS If you're asking Y! Answers what they think, you're not absolutely sure, now, are you?

Oh! Your First question? Soul mates vs. marriage?
I say Soul Mates beats Marriage hands down. Argue? once in a while .... Fight? No. ..... Hurt? a little.....
But soul mates have the advantage of awesome communication. When one feels hurt, the other knows it. They work things out together very quickly.... And, yes, they grow closer together - not further apart.

Answer 3

I believe that my wife is truly my soul mate. But that does not mean that we will never fight or get hurt emotionally by each other. What an awful relationship we would have if we did not disagree and/or even argue the odd time. In the three years we've been together there have been 3 disagreements and arguements, but we learned something from every one. Besides once a year to argue is pretty good in my books.

Answer 4

I say, "Yeah, right." All relationships take effort and energy. The small part of truth that is in your statement is that if you choose a marriage partner wisely, you will have less struggles and things will go more smoothly than if you are foolish in your choice.

My husband and I have been married nearly 22 years. We don't ever squabble and hardly ever even disagree, but that is because we work hard to think of each other's perspective and feelings and talk things through.l If we didn't work at it, we would be more likely to fight and to hurt each other. We haven't grown apart because we have made our relationship a priority. We still go out on a "date" with each other once a week. We still talk about nearly everything. We still treat each other with love and respect even when we are tired or not feeling well. That is work and takes effort and thought.

People who just drift along inevitably drift apart. People who make no effort to live for someone else will inevitably live for themselves.

Answer 5

When you are with someone 24/7 soul mate or not your going to have fights and even hurt each other that's what makes a marriage.

Answer 6

oh ill bet i get in trouble over this one
ok personaly i do not believe in soul mates , my reasoning is if we had a soul mate it would be a gift from god , which would mean this soul mate would be there from the begenning , there would never be a heartache , never be a search for this soul , personaly i believe in a spiritual mate , two people who meet , their spirits mingle and play with one another and learn to love one another , enough where when making love ,<<< not sex people , but making love will be an out of body experience , trimbling , tears , all uncontrolable emotions of happiness and joy , find this and u may think that is a soulmate ,

Answer 7

I believe I married my soul mate...we've only been married 7 years. We've never had a fight or argument. We agree to disagree with no love lost. We work at pleasing each other daily...

Answer 8

I believe in soul mates, but its a relationship like any other with pitfalls, hurt, and heartache. The difference is that soul mates love each other through all the crap.

Answer 9

No any relationship if it's going to last takes work - consciously working at understanding what the other person's hopes and dreams are and not just your own. You can never marry someone and hope to change them after. You have to have lots in common with them before you get married. Enjoy the same things. After all you want to spend time together don't you?

Answer 10

i don't comprehend that an editorial from a mag, Catholic, or otherwise that would set us up for that form of failure. i do no longer think of the "theory" of soul friends is easily the priority. I do think of that the belief of a Prince (or Princess) attractive and all it incredibly is meant to characterize may well be in basic terms as a lot in charge. there's no "appropriate" companion. There are those which you have issues in uncomplicated with and the rest you artwork out to the betterment of you the two. it incredibly is a extra sensible view of sharing your existence with somebody else, for my section. finding at any marriage as a ability to comprehensive fulfillment and delight devoid of accountability on your section previous finding your 'soul mate' is fairly unrealistic and contraptions one up for a marriage it incredibly is "for now". Romantic love is icing on the cake if, or whilst, it comes with the marriage and remains.
