I've often heard people commenting on broken relationships of couples they know...that the reason of their break-up is simply they are not really meant for each other. And added to that is this notion that there is always a special someone or a "soulmate" destined for each one of us. So in order for a relationship to prosper, the couples in love should be "soulmates"...Is this true? Is there such thing as Soul Mates?

Well, it will be wonderful to stay with one's soulmate throughout one's whole life. But sometimes we are not sure about "soulmate". i mean a "soulmate" should be a person knows your heart, sometimes without saying, he or she will know what is going on your mind. But sadly, there are not many couples who can read each other's mind. If not, there won't be so many quarrel, fights and divorces. If one can find one's "soulmate", even they can't married to each other and can only be friends. it is also a blessing.

Maybe, I agree with you on the idea that not all who found themselves as "soulmates" ended up in marriage...Maybe, in a life long relationship. Because, if you're really soul mates, though how much you would like to hate and leave your partner, you can't do that...as there is that abstract element of love that binds these two hearts, and melting down their character differences to blend with each other...You will see yourself in your partner, as your partner also sees himself in you. And you can not afford to separate a "conjoined" hearts beating as one...

I believe I found my soulmate but some relationships work even if people don't consider themselves soulmates, i think certain people just fit better together than others for example I would say my friends ex was more suited to her than her current partner.

When people think about soul mates, they think about the perfect relationship and about a life without suffering. I wonder how many persons who claim they've found their soul mate would remain beside him or her if that person got very ill or crippled. I don't believe in soul mates.

I didn't find my soulmate, but I believe in this for sure. There are certain persons that on the first day you meet, you know this person is different and special.

I think that the feeling of finally meeting your soul mate is when you finally feel that there is so much love between both of you. The feeling of happiness and contentment of being with the person is the essence to which we feel that the person is indeed our soul mate. Most especially if the person is met at the right moment and at the right place to which the feeling would be different from among the other relationship that we have recently had. Having a soul mate would be really wonderful. I have found my soul mate and it is a wonderful feeling. It is like the two of you become one with the single wonderful feeling that you share for each other. I believe that we all have soul mates. I hope that we all have them.

Hi Mercedes and welcome to my lot. Yes I think there is such a thing as soul mates. I have been married a few times but knew from the start they would never last one reason is some of them don't believe in God or do things like a Christian should do. I was married to a man that I knew I would never stay with for too long but landed up staying with him for over 13 years kept telling myself I should leave him but really felt sorry for him. I guess it was because he had a broken neck and hip and he needed help so I stayed with him. There was no love there from either of us it is just something you can feel. Oh well I had taken so much one year I was at the point I would rather have been alone then with him. And God sent me a man that really touched my heart and I know I touch his you can just feel the love when we are together. So you see why I believe that there is such a thing as a soul mate for each of us?

I believe that there is such thing as soul-mates but the thing is I believe that a soul-mate does not necessarily mean the person that you are going to marry. It can be your best-friend, your mother or a stranger that you have yet to know. It does not necessarily mean that if your a girl, your soul-mate will be a guy. I think a lot of people have unrealistic expectations. I am personally a dreamer and would not settle for something or someone who I believe I don't deserve but relationship is not all rainbows and butterflies. There will be conflicts from time to time and it is the couples opportunity to make this conflict into a good thing. A thing that will make them closer and appreciate each other more.

I think so. I don't know if people well always find the one they are met to be with the world is so big. but i also do believe you can be happy with some one who is not your soul mate. I think it all depends on how the people involved think and what they believe.

I believe in soul mates because I have found my soul mate already. Although we don't always agree with each other about some matters, I know he is the right man for me. Not that directly I would realize he is the one but my heart and mind tells me he is. No scientific basis can explain it. Ask Cupid.

Such rumors about soulmates is baseless. What I can say is, in order for two person to be together forever, they must have the following characteristics: 1. They sincerely interested and like each other very much 2. They are matured and discussed properly the conflicts faced by them 3. They are committed in the relationship which they are willing to do anything to make the other happy. at the same time they show no interested to other people. 4. Their intention from the very start is right. Meaning they should have started the relationship aiming for a fruitful outcome. These few characteristics is a must, along with several others. If there is such things as soulmate, it will be the person that you share your true love with, while keeping all these characteristics running

I think we're all in love with the word "soul mate" and what it represents, it's more of a glamorization of relationships, and what we expect from that relationship, but no...I don't believe in soul mates. I do, however believe that there is more than one person out there that would fit our needs. If we're lucky to find just one of them,and being able to spend the rest of our lives with them, than that is the real and true blessing.

I somewhat beleive this... I do beleive you can be made for somebody. If it is right, no matter how much you argue, disagree or fight you will always make it through. Relationships that arent meant to be slowly dwindle into nothing. :)
