"Dont look for your soulmate. Instead look for your soul, mate."

I don't know about "soul mates". My Wife and I met 43 years ago on a dance floor after I asked her to dance with me, When I put my arm around her waist I just somehow knew she was the one for me. She later confessed to also experiencing that " just knowing" as she took my hand. 3 months before our meeting, her then boyfriend was killed in a motorbike crash, and our meeting was the first time she had been out socially since she lost him. Later that evening, something really unnerving happened, my future Wife was talking about her deceased boyfriend, telling me that he hated football, but loved fishing. I told her "Snap!" me too, She laughed and said "Yeah right, you're going to tell me your birthday is on 8th August next" This blew me away, and I stuttered to her "Actually, my birthday is on 8th August". The blood drained from her face, and she snapped back at me saying "Don't even go there! don't joke about it!" I assured her that I really, honestly, truly was not joking, and that my birthday is on that day, and then I told her my year of birth, and it was exactly the same as her deceased boyfriend. We just knew somehow knew that we were right for each other, and have been married now for 41 years.

I met my wife at a gym and said "hey, I see you like to work out. What do say we get together and make it work out" The corniest pick up line ever but here we are 24 years later and two wonderful kids still making it work out. Wishing everyone all the best.

THE ONLY PERSON YOU CAN GUARANTEE TO WAKE UP WITH FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE IS YOURSELF.......SO GET TO KNOW YOURSELF, LOVE YOURSELF AND TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOURSELF!!!

My parents have been married for over 40 years and my father once told me, “all women are crazy. The trick is finding one whose crazy you’re okay with, and one who doesn’t prevent the storm, but makes going through the storm a bit more peaceful”

“Find someone that you can embark on the project of being alive with, knowing you’re all going to die and everybody you love is going to die and the armageddon is coming and you can handle that with them.” That actually struck a chord with me.

My personal definition of a soulmate is someone with whom you feel at peace when all the world is turbulent.

I never thought of a soul mate as a piece of perfection.. just the person who would walk next to me through this life. Just as flawed as I am, but who agreed with me before we were born to experience and travel this life together.

You've met the one when you've committed to be unwaveringly true to yourself, to seek the ultimate truth in everything you encounter, and to cultivate your soul by seeking and creating beauty. A reward awaits you.

My interpretation of a soulmate is someone who teaches us deep lessons that benefit our souls. Not necessarily a lover.

I’m seriously impressed with your view on being a “mate to your own soul.” Great insight on understanding relationships. One other key aspects might be that we are here to serve others more than gain personal benefits

"Love and oneness is for all people, not for one individual" agreed russell

best line and take home message - "when we are talking about soulmates really what we are saying is that I want to feel connected and when your in a relationship find someone that you can embark on the project of being alive. That might be more helpful criteria rather than some whimsical claptrap idea of romance. Because ultimately really love is for all people and not for one individual person"

if someone told me a couple of years ago that the same dude in that crazy movie on Hawaii would later help me get a better perspective on everything after my life did a 180..... it's so funny to me

Not sure if there's "one" but I've been with my lady for 14 years and I'm lucky to say that I'm more in love with her today than ever. We laugh, we support, we encourage we work as a team, we evolve together

"be a mate to your own soul." I'm waiting for the ceramic mugs available for $12.99. Really sound advice.

I could listen to him talk all day. I bought his books. They read in his voice as I read them. So wise and inspiring

This literally just spoke to my soul and lifted a burden or bond. Everything I’ve ever thought of inside of myself but could never project outward and then explain or formulate into sentences 👌
