I Want to Find My Soulmate
There is no question in my mind that there is such a thing as a soul mate. I also know it can take time for that person to enter your life.
When my first wife and I met each other at age 19 and married, we thought it was a good thing. Neither of us had much life experience. We tried, but too many things just weren't right. We divorced after nine years.
My second wife was "it" as far as I was concerned. Much more my intellectual equal, we related well on many levels, not just in bed. As well as we did together, I realize now that there was always something missing. Our marriage lasted 19 years, but the last half was stressful to a point my health was getting bad.
At a point about 8 years into my second marriage, a woman came to work at the company where I was employed. For whatever reason, we had an immediate "connection" - nothing out of line - just a respectful working relationship. There were occasional teasing comments, but neither of us ever said anything suggestive. I knew my wife and I were headed for divorce. One day, the woman was in my office, saw the photos of my family and commented about how happy we looked. I told her looks can be deceiving. She was also headed for divorce from an abusive husband. As they say, the rest is history.
I've seen many definitions of "soul mate". The following is a quote from Urban Dictionary that pretty much sums it up:
"A soulmate is some one you have a very deep connection. It is not always easy explained. It is a meeting of mind, heart, body and soul on the highest of levels. Communication is at its easiest, as they understand you perfectly, and accept you completely with no judgments.
A soulmate is when you love an imperfect person perfectly."
My current (final) wife and I have been together for 21 years and married for 17. From the time we began to present ourselves as a couple, people told us how obvious it was that we are soul mates. That we are!
