What is a Soulmate?

Let's look at some basic ideas of what a Soulmate is.

If you have been lucky enough to have had time with a soulmate then you probably have your own list already.

Mine is:

- instinctively thinking about one another at the same moment - phoning up only for the other person to say - oh, I was just thinking of you or just about to phone you

- having tremendous respect for that person's point of view

- not referring to them as 'my husband, boyfriend, girlfriend' and so on, but as 'John, Peter, Sandra' and so on.

- wanting to be with that person as much as possible

- sharing dreams and hopes for the future

- providing unconditional emotional support

- having the same ideas at the same time

Some people might say that such a relationship is boring, claustrophobic or clingy - and there are plenty of other descriptions.

For me though, if that is the case, then you are not soulmates. I've had relationships with clingy people, and I know I've been perceived as clingy in others - the key point though, is that there is a mismatch.

Its doesn't stop you having disagreements, but if you have deep respect then you really listen to what the other point of view is.
