The Soul of the relationship is...

Here's an article from the front page that I shared on one of my other message boards about searching for a soulmate:

The responses were interesting as always, but I'm curious to know what the rest of you thought of this article.

Now in addition to that, I'm also curious as to your thoughts of sex with your soulmate compared to sex with other/previous partners. Do you believe that sex is always going to be its greatest with an actual soulmate or no? In fact, do any of you actually not believe in soulmates?

Whats your view on it all?

I believe in soulmates. I prefer the company of women, and currently have several that I can call soulmates at times. Unfortunately the stresses of everyday life have done a number on the soulmate relationship I had with DW2. We are still together under the same roof but we're not exactly soulmates right now.

Of course maybe if I lived with any of the others we'd no longer be soulmates either !!!

I believe in soulmates....in the meaning that they are a special someone (not necessarily your partner) that you just click with from the first moment you met....I married mine LOL....We met on a blind date (first one I'd ever been on) and from that first evening together we've been almost inseparable since.We're opposites but we just click.I'm a country girl-he's into heavy metal music.He has tattoos and I'm little miss conservative....he's a btdt and everything in between kind of guy and I've never done anything "adventurous" aside from dating him LOL....We have been married almost 4 years....I've dated a couple of other guys (nothing serious just friendly dates) and felt no deep connection with them at all....Dh is the only man I've been intimate with and the sex is good but like all couples it needs a little spicing up now and then......

I think thats the part that describes our marriage best. The Mrs. & I don't really NEED the perfect sex so much to be so in love with each other, as nice as it would be anyway though. ;)

I think we knew and trusted and liked each other so well before anything serious happened that we knew we'd be staying together anyway. Now as far as knowing if we are soulmates or not, I don't know if I could really say, other than we BETTER be because we're not splitting no matter what! ;)

I still wonder though what each person's personal definition of a soulmate is. That'd be enlightening to read I think.
