Soul mates?

[rjo]

The term is used a lot but what really is a Soul mate? How do you know you have one? Can you have more then one in a lifetime?

 

On the saga I feel we have a number of soul mates. J P and Stef, Jack and Clare. Were Brad and Robbie, or JP and Jeff, or Stef and Greg? What about Frank and Isidore? Could Will and Zach develop into Soul mates. How long does it take? Are George and Caroline? In real life I have known a few, but not many. What do you think?

I'm a believer in soul mates.  Although I travel without my husband a lot, and go visit my best friend some weekends, coming home is always a pleasure.  It's him that is home to me, where ever he is.  We bicker at times, but nothing over the top.  He knows my thoughts, whether I'm worried, happy, or just thinking.  He can even feel my fears if they surface, and calms them before they get a grip on me.  When I wake in the middle of the night and don't even move, he'll ask, "Why are you awake?"  It's uncanny.  When we go places, he is either by my side or within sight of me.  He brings me a drink before I even ask, knows when I'm ready to go, and knows  when someone has annoyed me.  If I start to worry about my daughter and grandson, he steps up and actually tells me to let him worry about them, not me.  He's so much that soul mate enfolds them all.  Caregiver, supporter, comforter, helper, blanket of warmth, and last but not least, lover.  So yeah, I believe we all have a soul mate.
