Is There Such a Thing as a Soul Mate?

by Karen J. Cino



The number one thing on almost every woman’s wish list is finding the man of her dreams, her soul mate. It has been questioned throughout the years if there is such a person out there or was the word soul mate dreamt up as a myth to keep the passion inside a person alive. The other question is how does one know when that special someone comes waltzing into his or her lives?

Throughout the years, and still today, it is the women who dwells on finding the perfect man and the perfect relationship. But quite the contrary, there is no such thing as a perfect relationship. Sure every relationship starts out with a bang. The newness, getting to know the person and just the passion that explodes the first few times. As two people get to know each other and become comfortable with one another their relationship begins to change. However, when you’re with your soul mate, your relationship doesn’t change, it gets stronger by the day.

Most women will agree that you know when you found that perfect someone. It is true that it takes time for love to build between two people and a lot of people don’t believe in love at first sight. Call me a romantic, however, I truly believe that when you meet that special someone that you are destined to be with in life, there is an unspoken bond between those two people from the moment they meet. It is a certainty that only happens once in a lifetime.

Usually it happens when you least expect it and when it happens you are sweep off your feet in a totally different dimension. In most cases, it is a man that is the opposite of what you are looking for.

As you get older, your priorities change and the search becomes harder. Time and time you read in the paper or hear on television people say it just happened, that they weren’t looking for it. But in effect, this is true . It will happen at any given time or place. And when you fall, you fall hard and you never recover.

The relationship with this person goes beyond sexual expectations. It is built on love, communication and understanding. The best way to explain this phenomena is that you would be willing to risk your own life to save his. If this is so, than the following statement will prove that you have indeed met your life long companion; your soul mate:

If you can honestly say that it wasn’t the physical contact that led you to him, but the love inside his heart, then you are lucky to have found that special one. No one can ever replace him in your heart.
