I know that is why I am still with her! I love her Greatly!

If you could capture that feeling and bottle it that would be awesome- Endorphine overload.

Kev - I know what you are feeling, I've been there, and everytime, I've gotten hurt. I thought I found true love but it turned into something else.

Ask yourself if you are having a good relationship with your mother and father, and ask yourself if she is having a good relationship with her mother and father. If you can answer yes to these two questions, you're probebly looking good, I wish you the best. If you can't, I'd be just a little bit cautious, meaning: enjoy your relationship with her but maintain your freedom, and because of your age, that might not be too difficult. Relationships are complicated, and that is why nobody is jumping for joy when you describe the love you have.

I'm on my second marriage and my wife is on her third. We get along very well. I think it is because we have learned a great deal. We wrote our own marriage vows. It is from experience that we had done this:

Back in 2000, I had asked an online psychic if the guy I was with was the right one for me. The answer I got back was no that I would meet some more guys like him. I've had a total of five. That I would finally meet the man of my dreams. I would intuitively ask if I would meet him before the summer of 2005, and I actually met him March 1st 2004. We both can't believe how strong our love is. He's always intuitively known about us being serious, and he always had an eye on me. We met in school 10 years ago, it's been about 6 or 7 years of separation, but he knew where I'd be and that I was the one. Everyone can't possibly have a soulmate but you hear talk about people being married to their so-called soulmate. You know you've been hurt in a serious relationship, it wasn't the right one. so keep looking for your soulmate.

Soul Mate? Haven't experienced that one yet, but with others I have sought to form an meaningful relationship. One pitfall which we seem to make is perhaps looking to hard, wanting such a relationship tends to make more of these relationships than is really there.

Look, I just think that all this is stuipid, plain and simple. The thing is, that evry single human being can be your soul mate! I mean did you choose your parents? No matter what kind of people they are, you'll still love the more than anything in the world(except maybe chocolate icecream with cherries on top)

However, I do beleive that we have a perfect match( or matches), who's personality matches ours.
Even if sould mates do exist, it is a one in a million chance that we'll find them. Regarding that 'feeling' when ur with that specail someone, put a lid on it. I've known people who've had that feeling 5 or 6 times!

Angel, I don't think that is the point of finding someone to love, but rather the existence of a relational compatablilty that extends beyond being 'the right person' and chance.
These people seem to feel attracted into situations which produces their coming together.

[i]I too believe in soulmates,I pray I have found mine.i lost my spouse a year ago.I have always know this man,for the last 10 years.But it was always hi and bye.But I was always happy to see him,and he was too.Well lately we run into each all the time.Seems like everytime I wish I could see him there he is.We casually discussed this and laughed it off.But I feel so strong about him.But he has been married for 28 years,He has always been a perfect gentlmen.Yes ,I wish he was mine.But unfortunently he belongs to a very nice woman who loves him so much.In my heart I know I must love him from a distant.If this is what it feels like to love again,I am ready for my soul mate to appear.In the mean time pray for me.Thanks.

I believe in the ‘soul’ and reincarnation, and therefore I think the possibility of two ‘souls’ meeting one another again in another life is totally feasible.

Do I believe in ‘soul mates’ – no. To hope for and to find a soul mate is just asking for and believing in too big a coincidence to occur. Those of you who believe in soul mates, think about this, the moment you leave your home, how many strangers do you pass? Any one of them could be your ‘soul mate’. I think it’s a nice, romantic notion, but that’s all it is, an idea, people make it as real as they want it to be.

I have been in love, and I know and have experienced the feelings, and state of mind, described by kevos, but I don’t think those feelings, even when reciprocated, prove that there are such things as soul mates. I agree with IRMe, that there can be many matches for individuals. I think when two people form a relationship where their personalities/attraction towards each other match each other like yin and yang, because they are unable to identify the reasons as to why they feel so ‘connected’, they resort to saying, yep, I think I’ve found my soul mate.

We enter this earth alone, and when it comes time to leave this lifetime, it will also be alone. The space in-between is the time we have to fill it with love. To find someone who you truly love and where they love you back, is a special experience, and if you are fortunate enough to spend an entire lifetime living and loving with that person, it no doubt, would add another dimension of meaning to your life. Then, when you leave, I guess you can be content knowing that you spent your life doing what you were meant to do ~ loving that person.

I believe in soul mates and that souls can re-connect in various lives. I think that soul mates can be in many forms, friends, family, lover, life partner. One of my best friends is someone I have been around a few times with. We have been husband and wife, as well as siblings. If the people you acquaint yourself with regularly, your 'circle of friends' seems like a very familiar one, it's probably because you have been through many 'go-rounds' with these people before in many different forms. Sometimes however we choose to live a life with mostly (if not all) 'new' people... these are lonely feeling lives but we open can ourselves up to more unfamliar territory and start ourselves in a new direction. The possibilities are infinite really.

I do believe that every person has a soulmate. I know my soulmate's name, but not her address. I am forlorn, besotted, aroused at the mere thought of her.

I believe there are several people out there you may meet in life that you love very much. I also believe there is that one person though, that is a different kind of love, one that rocks you to the core. (I'm still looking for her!) That is the one who, after 20 years of marriage, still makes your heart skip a beat when you see them. I believe in reincarnation, and I believe we move in different circles, but from time to time we run across people from the past, that would explain how sometimes you do or do not like someone on sight. I believe your soul recognizes them.

May be a little off thread but few are those whom I inherently dislike.
One whom I felt the strongest negativeness toward, I came to know & accept as a friend although never a good freind.
I wonder if an opposite to a soulmate exist as well?
