Are soulmates a true reality, or are they simply an illusion? Many of us go through life searching for that one person who will fulfill all our needs and share in our deepest desires, love, friendship, intimacy, and passion.
But does this endless quest for the “perfect” person set us up for disappointment when no one seems to measure up? How do we know if our past loves weren’t soulmates in their own way? Is it even possible to have more than one soulmate?
Personally, I don’t believe in soulmates. I believe that every relationship teaches us something valuable, through love, support, and guidance. If we are always chasing an ideal partner or the concept of a soulmate, we may miss the richness of real-life relationships unfolding right in front of us.
So next time you’re in a relationship, instead of wondering if this person is your soulmate, ask yourself a simpler question: is there real love between the two of you? Everything else, the growth, the connection, the happiness, will follow naturally.
