[QUOTE="Archived_Member16, post: 146512, member: 884"] [COLOR="Navy"][B][U][COLOR="Red"]Different prospective, as a matter of further interest:[/COLOR][/U][/B] [B]Soul Mates [SIZE="5"]The Soul Mate Myth & Challenges in Soul Mate Marriages[/SIZE][/B] By Sheri & Bob Stritof, [B]About.com[/B] Guide The notion of "soul mates" has been around a very, very long time. However, there are several viewpoints as to how to describe "soul mates" ... even on how to spell it! Some people spell the term as a whole word, soulmate and others, including us, prefer to keep it as two words, soul mate. [B]Soul Mate Descriptions[/B] •[B]General Belief[/B]: Many people believe that soul mates can accept and love every part of the other's personality and that life with a soul mate is easy and natural. •[B]Our Belief:[/B] We don't believe a soul mate is the "ideal or one and only person" in someone's life. Our definition of soul mates is individuals who both want their marriage to be a great one. Their marriage relationship feels like a natural fit. Although they, like all married couples, need to put a priority on their marriage, it is not hard to do because they have a sense of being at ease and connected with one another. [B]Soul Mate Challenges[/B] If you believe in the idea of only one soul mate for each person, you may assume that a partnership of two soul mates should be able to handle challenging times easily. That may not always be the case. Just because you are in tune to one another, each of you are willing to take responsibility for your role in contributing to the conflict, and are both committed to making the marriage a successful one -- your marriage can still fall apart if other essentials such as love, respect, and communication are missing. If you start looking for perfection in your spouse, or think that everything in your relationship should immediately click, and that there won't be any problems, you are setting yourself up for a dose of heavy disillusionment. Another danger in believing in the concept of soul mates is taking your marriage relationship for granted. There can be temptation to bail out of an unhappy marriage if you think your spouse isn't your soul mate. If you think that marriage to your soul mate will mean a life free from hard times and conflict, you are not facing reality. If you think you've not married your soul mate1, don't just walk away from the relationship for that reason alone. Spend some time getting to know yourself a bit better first. You can't find your perceived soul mate if you haven't found yourself first. More Soul Mate Descriptions [B]•Reincarnation:[/B] Some believe that a soul mate is someone with whom a person has shared other life times through reincarnation. The soul mate could be a friend, business partner, parent, child, sibling, spouse or other family member. These soul mates can be of the same or opposite sex. •[B]Other Half:[/B] Others believe, like the ancient Greek philosopher Plato, that a soul mate is a person's "other half". This concept was the basis of the movie, The Butcher's Wife2 where the idea of "split-aparts" searching for one another was explored. People all over the world believe that we are all searching for someone to make us whole and to share our journey of life with. •[B]A dictionary3 definition is[/B]: One of two persons compatible with each other in disposition, point of view, or sensitivity.
