You know, I thought about getting a book on soulmates. But, I'm already reading two books now so that will have to wait.

I haven't any vast knowledge on soulmates. But, my opinion is that they do exist for some and sometimes some people have more than one soulmate. I have often wondered if soulmates exist in more than just a romantic sense too. I believe you can have soulmates in friendships as well. I haven’t any proof of what I believe though.

I believe my ex-husband was my soulmate. He loved me as I was and we were very compatible. I believe that a good partner is also a good soulmate. The two come hand in hand. But due to circumstances, my ex-husband is no longer my soulmate ( I regret that). Whether I have another romantic soulmate is questionable.

I do believe in soul mates. Now how to describe it to y'all. When we meet someone for the first time and you know that they are the one. There are those feelings, there is a special connection. I know I am not coming up with the right words here. It is just hard to describe, but when you know, you know.

I believe you can connect with more than one person in each lifetime at the soul level, and that these soul friends are not necessarily just mates.

My love and I were best friends for a year or more before we figured out that we were more. The one thing we have not wanted to lose is the that friendship.

Hi Ginger! Thanks for stopping by!


It is nice to think that we can have more then one 'soulmate' and I think on certain levels we can, though again I think for me personally there can only be one person whose connection goes deeper then anyone elses.
