Soul Mates?

Do Soul Mates Exist?

By Tony DeLorger © 2016

The differences between men and woman are many, and in fact if you look at it objectively our perspectives and propensities point to an amalgam of balance. In other words together a man and a woman can make a perfect team, what one may lack the other provides, a partnership of profound success. And so, I believe it was meant to be, not just to procreate but to create a symmetry of ideas and viewpoints to find a successful and productive life together.

But is there another ,even more profound coming together of a man and an woman? Is there a perfect fit for a partnership in life. Is there such a thing as a 'soul mate'? When we find a partner, get married, have children and create a life together, we may perhaps refer to this person as your soul mate, as happiness and success infers. But do we really know? There may be a person walking the earth that is designed for us, a perfect other half on every level; but who would know?

So when you met your Mr or Mrs Right, did you fall in love as if you knew this person before, recognized them to be your one and only, your perfect soul mate? Was there a connection of the soul, a recognition that this person was meant for you and you for them? Or is this a figment of our imagination, and regardless, all relationships require hard work to maintain: sacrifice, understanding and patience. I personally have married three soul mates, or as I thought, and now I'm divorced from my three soul mates. Does this tell me something; perhaps that I'm a lousy husband, I'm not certain. Relationships, regardless of what we term them or our partners, requires work and a solid friendship that is the foundation of all relationships. Maintaining the rest requires effort. Life was never meant to be easy.

So, do 'soul mates' exist, and if so, have you found yours?
