Do you believe in soul mates?

[Arachne]

I believe in making them, not finding them.

James--Do you have to go that far to make a point?

[Asteriktos]

Absolutely not.

out of the mouths of James' and infants...

[elephant]

No, but I have been known to tell my husband "God gave you the wife you deserved"

Love, elephant

[vamrat]

No, but I have been known to tell my husband "God gave you the wife you deserved"

Love, elephant

Did he say "Lord have mercy on me a sinner" afterwards?

[ducks thrown object]

I KID!  I KID!

....and YOU are considering monasticism?  Really?

God, preserve the world from monks with this kind of attitude.

[WPM]

Do you believe in soul mates?

Agree.

It's a conundrum. 
Some would say the world does not need such monastics.
Others would say such of the world need monasticism.

[livefreeordie]

Yes, I do.

Well atleast you are honest. And funny.

[Benjamin the Red]

In no way, shape or form.

[livefreeordie]

A better way to ask the question might be, "Have you found a soulmate?"

I'd imagine the people who don't believe haven't found one.

[Tommelomsky]

No. I have a new family (parish-wise and all over the world). I live in Gods mercy and under the spirit and not the law.
That is more than enough.

[Virtual Paradise]

Yes, I do.

Nice. Have you find yours?

[livefreeordie]

Yes, I do.

Nice. Have you find yours?

Yes.  Met her on a motorcycle trip.  She came along and we drove 8000 miles together camping in the wilderness most of the time.  15 years later we've been married 14 years and have 7 children.

[biro]

Yes, I do.

Indeed. The part about the Colombian coffee was distasteful, though.

Thoroughly. Doesn't anyone appreciate a good Costa Rican these days?

Pfft.  That Vietnamese stuff, with condensed milk.

[Cyrillic]

I don't like coffee. Tea on the other hand...

[Arachne]

I like both tea and coffee. Does that make me polyamorous?

[Virtual Paradise]

Yes, I do.

So.. Do you have a theological view on "Soulmates" ?

[livefreeordie]

Yes, I do.

No. I just know I believe in them and I found mine.

[ZealousZeal]

I believe in making them, not finding them.

This is the best answer I have ever heard to the question.

I think with the amount of people on earth, the odds are decent that there's someone out there better suited to you than the one you're with. But the real beauty of it all, I think, is that if you do it right and work at it then it doesn't matter because you don't want anyone other than the one you're with.

So I agree- they're made, not found. It's a choice, not fate.

Aaaand that's enough sentimentality out of me for one day.

[LizaSymonenko]

Yes, I do.

SEVEN children?!?  You had better be "soul" mates for that arrangement to work.    How many bathrooms in your house?

As for soul-mates.....must they be found exclusively in marriage?  What about really close and dear friends....might they not be "soul" mates? 

[livefreeordie]

Yes, I do.

I imagine soul mate is one of those phrases whose exact meaning is defined by the person using it.  Wouldn't want to limit such a great phrase.

Luckily, we have an enormous house with 3 full bathrooms and a half bathroom. They are much needed! More so as the kids get older and privacy is at a premium.

[Virtual Paradise]

Yes, I do.

Good point. I actually planned on extending the subject to that also, as friends soul mates (not in the sense of lovers).

Expand please.

[Virtual Paradise]

What are soul mates for you, to those who responded positively to this question?

By that I mean even Arachne. He/She said she believes it making soul mates. I'm interested what is your deffinition of "soulmate" Arachne.
