 I don't see love and soul mate going hand-in-hand. I loved my first boyfriend and when he walked in the room, I got excited by his presence. He wasn't my soul mate. There was lust and passion but we didn't see the world the same way in the least. Our interests didn't mesh at all.

My current boyfriend and I have a common view of the world. I'm not saying we agree on everything. I wouldn't want that. However, our outlook on things are the same. He is my soul mate and I love him. So, you can be in love and not be soul mates, but you would love your soul mate.

 To some degree I feel, "I want a soul mate" is selfish. Statistically more arranged marriages work than the western 'Hollywood romantic' ones. What's reality? Arranged marriages as far as I know are just a contract betweeen 2 people negotiated mostly by parents and the kids accept it. So it's a mindset thing. You want to make it work or you just want a slave of your ideals? I think the term should be "suitable partner". I also agree with Lulu on this one, she's pretty much nailed it.

 For those of us who believe in reincarnation soul mate has a completely different meaning. It's far more spiritual than romantic. A soul mate is someone from the same soul group. There are many and they play many roles in our lives - parents, siblings, spouses, children friends and even those we have issues with. In a romantic relationship a soul mate can be very congenial or like oil and water mixing depending on what we are helping each other learn.

All that aside though I tend to go along with the more conventional definition when discussing the meaning of soul mate with others. In that sense I do believe that there is that kind if relationship that is the perfect mixture of passion and compassion, where the two have so much in common that much of the work of developing a relationship is already done and all we have to do is sit back and appreciate it. I had that sort of relationship with my late husband - from our first meeting until his passing.

 Ok..... My thoughts are" YES" there are soulmates. No one is brought into your life as an accident ..you are supposed to meet this person..You each will give something to each other whatever that may be. I agree with spiritwomen the passion and compassion is there at first meeting. I had 47 years of it till my husbands passing. It is a special gift .and I believe not everyone will experience it! I feel that I was blessed! Will I have another? I have no idea but I know I will not settle for less! love this saying... "I would rather be lonely alone ..than lonely with someone".
