Soul Mates E-Q Responses: Naive as it may sound, especially at the age of 52, I'd say YES. Some of the defining qualities for me are: able to talk about his feelings; able to listen to me talk about my feelings; interested in personal growth and spirituality; intelligent; compassionate; curious; a good listener; a good sense of humor; and a best friend Yes I do believe in soul mates and once in a while people actually find one. Unfortunately most of them never meet. Sure, I believe in Soul Mates ... just like I believe in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy! Silly childhhod dreams that make it impossible for us to find our way in this world if not equally tempered by stories of faith, giving and hard work!
I think we know when we have truly met our soul mates. It's as if you were destined to be together. There were so many twists of fate that allowed my husband and I to meet, and ultimately become husband and wife. I always felt empty inside even though I was generally a happy person. I don't feel that anymore. Instead I am at perfect peace and there is so much joy in our lives. He completes me. I am still in awe over it all, and there is no doubt in my mind that he's my soul mate.
Webster simply defines soul mate as a person temperamentally suited to another. Using that definition, I definitely do believe. I've seen "soul mates" also defined as "those who are meant for each other in a very special and unique way - almost as if they were spiritually or mystically connected. Having the good fortune to be in a relationship in which we both feel we're meant for each other, I'd also have to believe.
Gone two years now, seems like yesterday. I visit his grave and I know I'll be with him when God chooses. But for the here and now, I'm hoping maybe I can find another soul mate -- what a beautiful thing to be able to share that special feeling with the one you fit perfectly with.
I feel that the definition is a very deep feeling where two people's souls interlock with one another and keep growing and thriving on each other's spirits and love -- where the two communicate with never having to utter a word or do anything -- they just know.
Yes I do believe. Actually as far back as I can remember I always did though I had never met mine yet. In my heart I just "knew" that someday it would happen but I didn't know when. There's a big difference between being "in love" and loving someone. And I feel this really comes into play when you meet your "soul mate". There's nothing like it and it's difficult to truly explain it. I would have to say it's a feeling of total completeness and feeling whole, everything fits perfectly.
I used to believe in soul mates when I was younger. I’m not so sure now. I think we all just have people of the opposite sex that we are compatible with, more common interests...life, family, financial, romance, etc. I think it's more compatibility with two people, rather than being soul mates.
I believe in soul mates, only by a lack of experience in finding one. Hey, I have to be optimistic, right? The folks I'd classify as soul mates usually show the following: 1) They are the best of friends. 2) They actually enjoy having each other around, and are part of a partnership. 3) They talk (and most importantly) listen to each other. 4) They respect each other, even when one of them is really, really wrong. 5) They both triumph when one of them succeeds and they both support each other when one fails. 6) They don't have a problem with growing old with each other. 7) They laugh at each other's jokes, even though those jokes are really, really dumb to the outside world.
I do believe in soul mates. I found mine 22 years ago and we are going to have our 20th anniversary next week. I met him in high school and I knew the night we met that we would be together always.
“A soul mate is someone who has the locks to fit our keys, and the keys to fit our locks. When we feel safe enough to open the locks, our truest selves step out and we can be completely and honestly who we; we can be loved for who we are and for who we're pretending to be. Each of us unveils the best part of one another. No matter what else goes wrong around us, with that one person were safe in our paradise. Our soul mate is someone who shares our deepest longings, our sense of direction. When we're two balloons, and together our direction is up, chances are we've found the right person. Our soul mate is the one who makes life come to life. " Richard Bach
I believe. I found mine, and I count myself among the fortunate few that have found theirs. Its not easy but never give up!!! It’s worth it!
Yes I would have to say I do believe in soul mates, as I have my Teddy bear, who is not only my best-est friend, confidante and lover, but also my truest buddy and companion. We love each other very much, and I feel like we always have. In fact, we are more in love now than when we were younger, and we miss each other even if we are apart for only one night. I thank God every night for my Teddy, and the blessing he has brought to my life.
I believe we can have many different soul mates in our life. It's wonderful if one is fortunate enough to have a spouse or significant other who is truly a soul mate. I have been blessed with some very dear friends who I believe are soul mates on different levels.
Hmmmm – I’ve been looking for almost four years and still have not found a soul mate, so I am beginning to wonder if there is such a thing?
I think I have found mine several times in my life. It seems like life takes some strange turns and if you are not turning in the same direction all can be lost.
A soul mate need not be a mate in the intimate sense of the word. Yes I believe in soul mates and also that they can be bonded for life.
Hmmmm -- interesting question -- I hate to sound like a skeptic, but I’m not sure that I believe in soul mates. Perhaps I don't know because I've never felt that way about anyone yet. Obviously when I was married, I was more in love with him than he was with me. I thought it would last forever, but that wasn't the case. I guess I won't really know for sure unless I find it. I congratulate those who feel they have. My dad surprised me the one day when we were talking. My mom has been through a stroke and dad has been worried that she might die. He said he thought they were soul mates. That really shocked me. I never thought I'd hear those words from his mouth. |
SOUL MATES Do you believe in soul mates? I believe in soul mates, Would I recognize him somehow? His looks need not be perfect, He would understand my feelings We could talk and talk for hours And sometime when my words We would find peace in silence We would stop to watch each rainbow We would enjoy each sunset We would be so very happy And somewhere in the distance So once again I ask you For as I'm here beside you
