Did you marry your soulmate?

[Bob Slydell]

I'm also not a big believer in soulmates. I married the love of my life, but I don't think we were ever "soulmates".

 

[Tantor]

I don't believe in soulmates. I think there are many people I could have married and been happy with.

DH is awesome though, so I'm happy I married him. I'm very lucky.

I like this answer. ITA

Yes i did. I couldn't imagine loving or being with anyone else. He's my true love and soulmate for sure. After 5 years of dating and then this first year of marriage he has seen me through so much and now he is an angel with DD and with me being pregnant with DS he is even more amazing. Life gets better every day and i really can't imagine it any other way.

I once didn't believe in soul mates either. I married my first husband when I was 16 and we were married a total of 25 years. We separated after 10 years of marriage and during that time I met a man who quickly became my best friend. He was the sweetest man I'd ever known. But I felt a responsibilty to my husband of my youth, as the Bible would call it, and I put my marriage back together. My husband and I even went on to have a child together. But although I loved him, I wasn't in love with him. (At the time, I didn't know what that meant, but now I know that being in-love with someone means you love to look into their eyes for support, hold their hand because you love the was it feels, touch their cheek when their sad, wrap your arms around them when you want to feel as if no one else exists) I could have stay married to him forever, and you don't really miss what you don't have. We endured a LOT during our marriage, all the usual struggles, including his mother's and father's deaths by cancer. However, the marriage failed when he withdrew completely. The man I had met years ago, had disappeared from my life and I had no idea what had become of him, but I was sure he was happily married somewhere. However by chance, he had a car accident and came in contact with my DSis through her job. He had only recently returned to the area due to his mothers illness and death, he had been living in Texas the past several years. The first moment we looked into each others eyes again, we knew we were meant to spend the rest of our lives together. We just "fit" each other. So do I believe in soul mates now? Yep! I've never loved so greatly. He is a part of me. I've never been more a part of someone else. He knows what I am thinking and I answer his questions before he asks it. There is always a twinkle in his eyes when I glance at him and he makes me smile in the midst of the most trying of circumstances. I have married my soul mate

Yes, most of the time. Somehow my soulmate grows an ugly head and I just have to cut it off!

 

[Freyja]

I believe that when I married him, I didn´t know the true meaning of the word soulmate. However,after having 4 children, going through 1 miscarriage and the death of my mother, I can truely say that he is my soulmate and that I can´t imagine my life without him.

 

[DisneyJen0504]

DH and I feel we are eachothers' soulmate. I feel very lucky!

 

[Jynohn]

I love my DH with all my heart and believe he's the one I'm supposed to be with in this life. I could never imagine my life with anyone else.

That being said, I don't necessarily believe he's my one and only "soul mate." I believe he is one of several people I have traveled through many lifetimes with and that we were meant to be together this time around. I wouldn't trade him for the world.

The person I believe to be my "twin soul" however is not my husband. He is a friend of mine that I could never imagine being married to. In fact, I haven't seen him in years. We dated very briefly after college and it didn't work out for a variety of reasons. I've seen him a few times at reunions, etc. but that's all. However, he is the person that I have that unexplainable connection to, not even physically, and obviously not emotionally since I don't even talk to him, he's just the person who I know is the other half of myself. I have no desire to get together with him in this lifetime, he is happily married and so am I. And I would never tell DH this because it would obviously hurt his feelings very much. It in no way lessens my love for DH, it's just something that's there, but something I never intend to act on.

That said, I think of a soul mate as someone that you have come to this life with in order to learn important lessons from one another. It can be a spouse, a friend, a parent, a child, etc. I think a person can have many soul mates, but only one "twin soul."

Maybe a strange way of thinking, but it's what I truly believe...

 

[NMAmy]

I guess I think of soul mates differently than a lot of you. In fact, I looked it up in the dictionary and it said, "One of two persons compatible with each other in disposition, point of view, or sensitivity." That's from the American Heritage Dictionary and that's actually what I think of as a soul mate. I think you can have more than one and I've always kind of thought of it as Anne Shirley's "kindred spirit."

So I voted that yes, I did marry my soul mate. We are very much alike but with enough differences to balance each other. Do I think he's the only one for me? Not necessarily, but I'm darn glad we found each other because we're so good for each other.

 

[Beauty]

Yep without a doubt!

How do YOU define true love/soulmate?

I married some one that I am so compatible with, who loves our girls more than anything, travel, WDW and everything. We get along better than most of the married people I have been around. His pluses make up for my flaws.

Is he the only person in the world that I could love for the rest of my life? No, there are too many people on Earth. I am sure that I could love others.

Do I want to? Absolutely not. I wouldn't trade him for anything.

Absolutely! I don't believe in one true love. I tend to think that because we choose to come home to eachother everyday it means more then if I thought we had no choice. (Destiny and all that jazz) Does that make sense?

 

[wendy1974]

I divorced two years ago so I have to say "no" I did not marry my soulmate. I got married because we had been dating for three years, living together for two of those years and it just seemed like the next logical thing to do. I do believe in soulmates, just haven't found mine yet

 

[binny]

yes I did. and some days it just hits me out of the blue

He was gone this week on business nad got back late last night. This morning we were puttering around the kitchen getting ready for the day and I realized just how much I missed that every day little thing.

 

[nativetxn]

I believe that I married my soulmate. My husband is my best friend.

 

[Buckalew11]

Wow! A lot of people married their "soulmates".

I didn't. But he's a wonderful man who I adore (most of the time ) and we get along very well. He is a great father, very kind and a man with good morals and values. But I don't think he was my soulmate. I could have married my soulmate because he asked me to marry him but I made a choice and I'm happy with it.
Good to see so many people found and married their soulmates.

 

[scrump]

Yes

 

[minniecarousel]

"I believe that I married my soulmate. My husband is my best friend."

My sentiments exactly! Just celebrated our 30th Anniversary.

 

[PixieDust32]

Yes, I love DH with all my heart, more and more every day, he is also my best friend, even when he annoys me!

 

[grinningghost]

I believe so, yes.

 

[mt2]

Yes. I too could have married someone else but I don't think the relationship would have been as good.

DH and I have learned each others faults and accept them without hardness. I know that I would have been "wicked" mean if the others had the same faults even if I did love them. It wasn't the right (healthy) lifelong love.
