Love, Is It Chance or Choice?

Lately, I think people are investing too much energy in the idea that they “must find their soulmate.” Where do we get this idea that we are somehow not complete unless we are connected to another person? What are you? An electrical outlet waiting for a plug, so you can finally light up the world?

Is Your Soulmate an Idiot

I have been receiving a free newsletter from Mort Fertel, who is a marriage coach, and author of “Marriage Fitness”, for quite some time now. I have always looked forward to, and loved everything he has had to say. Yesterday I was reading something that he wrote, which really resonated with me, because it explained for me why I have some of the instinctual beliefs I have.If you read my article “Compatibility and Online Dating”, then you know I believe that compatibility is not the answer we are

She went to college in a particular state, where she learned all sorts of dramatic (and overly-dramatic) lessons about things like Life and Relationships and Knowing Herself. She learned a few lessons about teaching, as well. When she was nearly done with college (with only two semesters left to go!) and had just finished with learning  a few particularly tricky lessons, she dec

I was four when I realised I needed you. Whenever I witnessed two hands holding passionately I would literally cry. I had a loving family, but it wasn’t enough for me. I needed you. My soul mate. The other half that will complete me. I knew you would be special.

The other night a friend of mine asked out of the blue if cheekbones was my soul mate. My instant reaction was, “no, if he were my soulmate, he wouldn’t have hurt me because that would be like hurting himself. Then, I read in Eat Pray Love where Richard from Texas says “People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that’s what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that’s holding you back, the person who brings you to your attention so you can
