Do you believe in soulmates?

Question

Or that two people are meant to be together, or you were made for someone else? I guess if enough people ask I'll give my opinion as well

No, I like to romanticize and idealize things a lot to find deeper value and beauty in them, but the idea of "soulmates" is a counter-productive idea in my opinion.

As much as it helps to seek out highly compatible partners, very healthy relationships are more "built" than "discovered". The idea of "soulmates" tends to imply too much to me that we just discover someone we consider that and then we'll live happily ever after.

To me even two people who aren't so compatible with each other but are willing to devote the time and effort into building and maintaining a healthy relationship are better off than two people who consider each other soulmates but aren't.

At the end of the day, it's two people willing to build something together who tend to create something that lasts. I'm in my 40s now and have seen my share of relationships of not only my own but among my friends, and too often have I seen people who believe in soulmates and believed they found them (including their SO believing the same) split apart.

So here I think a more practical view that great relationships are more built than discovered is the healthier view. Otherwise if people believe too much in the concept of soulmates and find their relationships starting to fall apart, instead of trying to repair it, they might just change their mind and decide their SO isn't their soulmate and then start looking for another one they can consider their soulmate only to repeat the same cycle.

All I know and care about is that God is the best planner. He knows what we don't know. In the end whatever happens, happens because of God's plan. And God has no obligation to give us an easy rosey life.

Yes it is a cliche "soulmate" and "made for each other" etc, but all that ties up to what I said above.

Yes. My stance on the word "Soulmates" probably differs from others... I believe we have different types of soulmates that are meant to be in our lives, this could be a friend, family member or lover. Maybe even a pet, like a dog or cat.

There's also people you may encounter, like I have, where you are a part of the same "soul family" Don't confuse this if it's romantic, God gave us Free will for a reason and if one is not ready to handle such a powerful connection, some will run.

I don't believe in Twin Flames, BS either. I believe a lot of people make $ off of others ignorance and false hope in many different ways.

I believe you might have certain high attractive people in the cosmos meaning, the universe believes you are good for somebody or somebody is good for you, and it greatly increases the chances you guys will run into each other and marry each other. I believe we have free will but not total free will, just like we can control what we look like, but only partially. I can't look like Miley Cyrus and Naomi Campbell in the same decade etc... I can control my prospects but only to a limited extent. The rest is what the universe chooses to give me.

Ah, the timeless question of soulmates! Here I am, weaving through the mysteries of love and connection, and this question always gets my heart racing. Do I believe in soulmates? Absolutely, but not in the ‘carved-in-stone’ kind of way. I believe powerful connections exist that feel like the universe orchestrated them. Yet, it’s the raw, beautiful work two people put into understanding, respecting, and growing with each other that truly makes them "meant to be." It’s like finding a rare gem and then polishing it together. So, while the cosmos might nudge us towards someone, it's our love and effort that truly seals the deal. What's your take on it? Are you a hopeless romantic, or do you have a more pragmatic view of love? Let's hear it, lovebird! 🌟

I don't believe in soulmates. There are many people who can improve the quality of life with someone they share. The difficulty is finding one of them.

Daniela1982 · Answer

Nope! Too many people on Earth to believe that out of 8 Billion people, you will find the one who may be meant for you. That's not the way life, or the world, works.  You gotta kiss a few frogs first before you find your prince. Now give me a big smooch!

sawno · Answer

I believe in it 100% considering I have at least one. Soul mate really did it justice, compatible souls, very close souls to the point she might as well have been my twin but where I glad she wasn't related haha.

PeachyPie93 · Answer

I used to until the guy I thought was my soulmate completely ripped my heart out. I now realize that stuff is delusional and not real. Love can be real but there is no such thing as soulmates.

Static_In_The_Attic · Answer

Seeing is believing & although I believe in the thought of soulmates I think I have a better chance of getting hit by lightning on a submarine versus finding that special someone.

bowenw · Answer

I think there are lots of people out there we can grow to be soulmates with, it all come down to timing as to whether or not we ever meet one of them, or which one.

Joshydavid25 · Answer

Nah, I believe there is one special person out there for you.. I believe you make it work with the person you want to.

Account · Answer

I do. The possibilities of meeting them though are extremely slim to none.

For me, it’s that or nothing. I’m too unusual and geographically isolated for anything else to be possible.

Somoneelse · Answer

I believe it does exist in this world. Like people fit so great together like they are 1-on-1 copies. But I haven't found/seen it myself yet.

itsclearlynicholas · Answer

I did at one stage and then I grew up. Much like I dabbled in religion and then adopted my own imaginary coping mechanisms beliefs lol 😂😆

genericname85 · Answer

no idea what a "soul" is. so can't tell what a "soulmate" is supposed to be.

Med_guy1978 · Answer

Soulmate and good matches but I think most people never find them or don't recognise them if they do.

Booklover_90 · Answer

Nah. If you meet someone who shares your values with and are compatible with, that’s enough.

Yannae · Answer

I believe, but I also believe there are more than one that are meant to be with you.

SolitarySolace · Answer

No, I do not. Because if soulmates existed, people would die alone more often.

Iron_Man · Answer

No, because everybody would be married, and stay married

Anonymous · Answer

I believe love is a choice. Everyday you don’t cheat on your spouse is another day you choose them. Because of this, I believe that we can have multiple “soulmates” in a lifetime. Some more compatible than others but we can still make it work.
