Teen Soulmate?
| Thu, 02-23-2006 - 2:04pm |
Do you think a teenager can find their soulmate in high school? My 18 yr old daughter has met a wonderful boy, also 18. It's her second boyfriend. He's a very nice boy and from all indications, they're both equally in love with each other as well as very compatible. Both will go on to college next year (probably different colleges although they may attend the same college) and will be separated by perhaps a 45 minute drive. My daughter has already indicated that she might like to marry this boy. She feels he's a perfect match for her and that they're both totally happy. Do you think it's possible to find a soulmate this young? I went on to college and then met my husband years later. I really didn't meet anyone until then that I felt I could connect with. Do you think it's possible to find "true love" this young?

My sister met her dh at 15. They will be married 45 years this September. Yes, it's possible, but I'm with the poster who says it is most likely not probable. I mean, it's POSSIBLE to win the lottery ....
I thank God I didn't marry my hs sweetheart! Yikes!

My parents were actually married while they were IN high school and will have been married 52 years next weekend.
At that time, I don't know if it was soulmate-itis so much as it was dad 'buying the whole cow' so to speak. And no, mom wasn't pregnant -- my older brother didn't come along until five years later. It was probably just two teenagers mistaking lust for love.
But now? I'd have to say they are soulmates. As teens, they both had home lives that were less than ideal and through a lot of hard work and tenacity, they grew up together and BECAME each other's soul mate. It is quite extraordinary, actually.
I sure do think this can happen. My daughter is dating a guy, she is 18 and he is 17. They are so good together. They are connected in every way possible. They are not only in love but are each other's best friends. They also talk of marriage after she finishes two years of nursing school. We just love him and his parents think the world of her. The families do not interfere with their relationship, but both would not mind at all if this lasts.
Also, I had a high school sweetheart who I loved with all my heart. However, I went looking for other things and I thought I needed to find myself. I have been married twice neither to him and both have been unhappy marriages. And at age 48 still think of him and he is the only person I ever had the kind of love for that you need to be together forever. I didn't stay with my soulmate, a decision I regret.
Hope all goes well for your family!!!
