Does anyone believe in soulmates?

Question

Do you guys believe that each person has ONE soulmate out there made especially for them? Or do you think everyone has a number of soulmates out there and it is just a matter of which one you will meet first?
For those married people-are you married to your soulmate, and if so, how do you know?
THis is just a question to see what people's opinions are on the subject. Serious answers only, please! :) Thanks.

I believe that there are soulmates for everyone but I don't believe that there is ONE soulmate. I think that there are several. I also believe in kindred spirits. Fir instance, a best friend that knows you like no other is a kindred spirit. Thanks guys for all your responses!

Answer 1

Ohhh, I have done a lot of research on this subject. This is what I believe:
The Soul splits into two parts, male and female, because the Soul is too expansive to fit into one body. This is called your Twin Soul or Twin Flame. Soul Mates are not the same thing; they are people you have had contact with during other incarnations of the Soul. The Soul comes to earth many times in it's quest to become perfect so that it may reuinite with itself and go on from Earth. (Whatever gender you are in your current incarnation, your Twin is always the opposite, because the Soul is both male and female.) So Soul Mates can be friends, boy/girlfriends, spouses, parents, children... anyone you come in contact with who has taught you an important life lesson and helped you balance karmic debt. You feel that "connection." (Those of you who have felt it know what I am talking about.) Once you have learned all that you must and have balanced all karmic debts, (which may take many incarnations), that is when you meet up with your Twin. You may meet your Twin before you are ready. When this happens, there is always terrible pain and suffering involved in the relationship because neither of you are ready yet. I could go on forever. When you meet your Twin, you will find that there are many, many parallels in your lives. It will seem like you have lived the exact same life. The attraction is instant and irresistable. It'd be like trying to fight the strongest magnetic force ever. I believe my husband is my Twin Soul. We are both Capricorns. His father is gay; my mother is gay. His father was abusive, his mother used guilt on him. My parents: same. He has two brothers. I have two sisters. He is the oldest. I'm the oldest. Me and my sisters are a Capricorn, Taurus and a Gemini. His brothers and he are a Capricorn, a Taurus and a Gemini. I could go on and on and on.
Do I believe in Soul Mates? Absolutely.

Answer 2

I believe in soul mates, but not only in a romantic sense. Maybe the phrase I'm describing is more like "kindred spirits" but I do believe there are some people with whom you make an instant, lasting connection.

My husband is my soul mate. Even though he had a gf and I had a bf at the time we met, the first instant we met I felt like I'd been hit by a truck (in a good way!) and I always felt a strong attraction to him until we were both free and able to be together.

There are a couple of friends that I feel the same way about -- instant connection, totally in synch. we might go months without talking or seeing each other, but when we do it's like no time passed at all.

I think there are probably several (not millions, but several) people who could be your soul mate, and yes, I think it is a matter of circumstance which of them you meet. People may think the idea of one soulmate is more romantic, but then what if you lose that person early in life? You're doomed to never feel that connection again? Not a very romantic picture to me anyway!

Answer 3

ONE soulmate? No. One of the key issues in marriage preparation is to discuss one's expectations of marriage. In all the professional, tested & verified couple inventories, the belief that one has ONE soulmate is an immediate red flag.

My wife and I are very well suited to each other. I could say we are soul mates. But I can also say that I know there are other men she could have married and been well suited to also.

In finding a life-long mate, it is important to have lots of connections with that person...personality, family of origin characteristics, spending patterns, recreational interests, and on and on.

But, you'll never be perfectly matched either. How boring would that be? To start with, one is male and one is female. Loads of differences there! And there will be others as well. Now, if you get a marriage and those differences start coming out and you are frustrated by them, and you believe there is one perfect soul-mate somewhere in the world for you - then you may want to leave this person, and continue your search for the true soul-mate. This is exactly what many do, and spend their life going through a series of failed relationships seeking that perfect one.

Answer 4

I used to believe it until I started looking at these yahoo questions!!!! !!!!!! I mean it. I used to. Then after reading five kazillion questions I began to see a pattern. That people are entering into marriages BEFORE they are matured people and so things fall apart and divorces get going.

Lots of people claim they have met their soulmate only to later admit the "soulmate" believed beating them up emotionally and or physically was " ok" .... Lots of people got married to their "soulmate" only to divorce that person a few years later because their soulmate was busy having sex with some other soulmate they met at work or at a bar , etc.

I will NOT marry ( i am 22 now ) and then have children until I have met a man whose family is much the same as mine..with parents whose TRACK RECORD reflects the truth ..not their mouths..but how they LIVE their lives TOGETHER... and who believes in God as I do. If that means I never get married..well.. that will be ok too. I have no intention of marrying..having children.. and then divorcing.

This "soulmate" thing is a word misused these days too often.

God bless you in your search. ( a hint. don't look so hard and do not ask God .. just live and learn and God will supply you with what you need. People often ask for things they do not need.. God gives it to them ..and then they do not like it. ) I asked God to teach me patience. BIG mistake!!! LOL !!!!

I learned the hard way because that is what I asked for.

Answer 5

I'm not sure what I believe about this anymore.
I just KNEW my 1st husband was the right one for me--we had such chemistry when we were young, and I mistook it for true love, but now I've come to believe that we never connected at the soul level because his soul is black and evil and no way would I have connected to that. He either changed after we got together or had me fooled all along--hard to say, and harder to get over.

My husband now is nothing like I would ever have chosen if you'd asked me what my ideal man was, yet he is absolutely perfect for me. He "gets" me in a way my ex never did, and is this unique combination of the best qualities that my mom and dad had (they are passed away now). We also have a deep spiritual relationship based on our common beliefs; there is no doubt in my heart and mind that God brought us together. I guess "soulmates" would be one way to describe it.

I look at it this way--God has a perfect will for each of us, and a permissive will. In order for the 1 soulmate thing to work out exactly right, each 1/2 of the couple must get and stay on the "perfect will" track in order to find and keep that 1 best relationship. But if one or both get off track somewhere along the way, I believe God can and does allow "permissive will" relationships to flourish and succeed. Hope that makes sense!

Answer 6

I don't think there is just ONE soulmate for one person, there are too many people in the world for that to be so, but I do believe there are people out there who you can connect with mentally, physically and spiritually on a level like no other. There are a vast amount of people in the world, if you spend your time trying to find that ONE person you can connect with, you will miss out on so many other people who while not perfect for you (which is what the title "soulmate" suggest), can offer you so many things, & not just money; love and affection also.
I am married and we are SO not soulmates! We argue, fuss & fight almost everyday, but we always come together in the end and reconcile our differences. I know she loves me for who I am, not who she wants me to be and I feel the same about her.
Soulmates? Who needs 'em?! They take too long to find anyway!

Answer 7

I think that we all have a number of people we are potentially compatible with. Most of these folks we'll never meet (they could be half-way around the world from us), but a few of them we do bump into, and it's up to us to recognize who is the best match. The idea of only one "soulmate" seems like a total nonsense.

Answer 8

I absolutely believe in soulmates because I think I've met mine.

I don't believe there is only one for everyone though - I think every soulmate you meet (if you are ever lucky to meet that many! haha) fulfills you in different ways.

Believing that there is only one person for you sets you up for almost definite failure.

Answer 9

When I was a kid I believed in soul mates. Now I think it's a joke. Even if my soulmate is out there, I might not find him. And that's the case, I'm not going to bother believing in them and getting my hopes usp.

Answer 10

sure and no. I view it that folk have many soulmate who come into your existence for as long as they could desire to be. Be it some days or years... they're there to steer and coach you in existence, you will possibly have a dating with them and it is normally triumphant as thoughts can strengthen with all and sundry you experience related too.... then there is the "twin flame" that's the different 0.5 of your soul/spirit they are asserting that as quickly as you have been created god cut up you in 0.5 sending the two halves in diverse guidelines. you are able to spend an entire life searching for that connection yet once you do you will understand.
