expert relationship advice on whether soulmates exist
Q: Do Soulmates Really Exist?
Some relationships last a lifetime, some are shorter, but do soulmates really exist?
Is there just one special person out there for you? In a relationship, two personalities come together and co-exist for a length of time. People who work well together in a relationship are often thought of as 'soulmates'. However, I don't believe that there is only one 'perfect' partner for every person. In fact, there are probably hundreds of people out there that you could have a very good, loving and intimate relationship with. Depending on their personality, and yours, you will either work very well together, or have a few kinks to iron out. Every relationship, no matter how compatible, takes work. There is no such thing as a perfect person, so there is no such thing as a perfect relationship.
The key to long-lasting, intimate relationships is really about the effort that each person puts into the relationship. Both partners will have to compromise at some point in their lives. Both partners will miscommunicate with their loved one, and both partners will mess up a number of times throughout the relationship. The willingness of the couple to overcome these difficulties will predict the outcome of the relationship.

I don't think it exist.. I thought I met my soulmate, only to find that the person is seeking attention from everybody else and I am the person who is invisible.
Yes, I love the person and feel something I have never felt when we have a great time, but, I don't think a soulmate is there, because a person always seek for something else or better.
Or in my case, flirting with someone else, whilst they are a "soulmate"
I think u right theres no perfect partener its all up to the two of u if u want something to work. Someone ask the otherday what keeps u and ur husband together for so long with everything that i went through i told her its all about communication thats the main thing in relationships and sex and the other things will follow. And i've beenn married for 23 years going out with my husband for 5 years so thats a longtime for someone to hold on don't get me wrong there have been ups and downs more ups than the downs but u pray and the rest will work out my not work for everybody but it did for me. Than theres the temptations
along the way u have to resist which r so hard but it dependes on the persone u r and i'm not the strongest u can get but my fears for getting into something that i will regret helped me, but ist not always easy u have to fight them iknow even if i wantedit i just said no that was hard
I think it exists well God is our true soulmate...but yet He created a man and for that man he created a woman so that states that every man has a woman and visa versa offcourse. I have met my "soulmate" he is everything and more I wanted in a man. We have arguments and everything but both of us works hard and tries to talk it out in a calm and suitable manner.
