No, I don't think those things make a soulmate, but I think when you have a soulmate, it turns out you are so intertwined and think so much alike that those things happen as a result. It's not the same as being married to someone for a long time and being able to predict their thoughts, moods, wishes; I think a soulmate is deeper than that.

I think a soulmate is someone whose soul connects with yours. Someone who at their very core understands you, because they are you.

Now that's a scary thought. I think just one of me is quite enough, if not too much.

But I know what you're saying. However, it's something I've never experienced, probably because I've never let anyone get that close. I've always held something in reserve.

I, personally, don't believe in "soul mates". I think there are many compatible people out there and it's nice when they find one another. I think if folks think/know they've found their "soul mate" then more power to 'em. I think it's great.
Finding your soul mate is a life long search, many never do. Compatible is not part of this ether, it's deeper than that. In fact soul mates do not make for a good marriage , it's like you have found yourself, now just how long could you stand yourself ? When they say opposites attract , there is a reason this is so, life will always be a new adventure .......for them.

Soul mate? And then the person dies... and? No, you can find another person, who may be different, and maybe a soul mate in a different way.

Life does not end when your mate dies.

I agree in part, however, you can never "find" another Soul Mate. There are just certain people that "click" thats all, could be a man, a woman, a friend , a lover or your worst enemy.....I know.

I never married a Soul Mate, all my wives were different from another and I was different from them. I regret none that have crossed my path, my door , no just as your long time best, your lover, the person you , for one reason or another have spent many years together, mostly happy years I would guess are most likely not your soul mate.
