I do believe people have perfect matches or soulmates and just because your brother in law dies That doesn't mean they weren't soul mates.
I believe my parents were soulmates. They loved each other beautifully for 25 years, and last year my mom got brain cancer and passed away. But I know my Dad believes they were soulmates, I also know he thinks he can be happy with someone else. It will never be the same, but it shouldn't be. It will be different if your sister finds someone else, but she could still fall in love again.
I hope this helps.
If you are thinking of like 'The One' as in only one person, that's not possible. Ok, so there are 6 billion people on Earth, let's say 3 billion are female, and out of that 3 billion you meet around 10000 people trought your life. If there was only one person that fits you, most of the human population would never get married.
I think there are tons of people in the world who'd be really compatable with someone else. Not just one person.
To those who are in disbelief, try to read the book, griffin and sabine. It'll only take you only 20 minutes or so because it's true letters back and forth between two soulmates that loved eachother in spite of not even knowing eachother.
No such thing as soulmates. Your sister and her husband lasted so long because they cared about each other and worked hard to make the relationship work. No relationship is "destined" to work out; you have to make it work.
Even though I don't believe in giving in to 'love' or going after a 'soulmate', I believe that there's a good chance that there's a soulmate for you if you have a strong belief in soulmates.
People who are like-minded with complimentary skills would theoretically revolve around each other through samsara, and through each life depend on the other conscience and attributes more as that part of you wanes.
Sounds like hell to me...to be dependant on someone else to that level. But do I believe in soulmates? It's very probable.
I once laughed at my wife's belief in soul mates. She thought (in her youth) that there is one perfect match for you out there somewhere, and you just have to meet up, and enjoy the ensuing bliss.
I now believe that a relationship should be a process of getting to know each other, and learning to accept each other - both strengths and shortcomings.
Over the years, if you love each other, you will become each other's soulmate. NOTE: Love is not a feeling (selfish), it is action, something you do for your partner (giving).
So yes, there are soulmates. They are all around us. They are usually (but not always) older, because this process takes time and not just a little maturity.
The rewards are more than worth the efforts.
Here's a new thought:
You are your own soulmate! Because it's your soul, and only your soul, that you 100% stick with for as long as it exists. So you are 'mates'.
Fall in love with yourself and live happily ever after.
The end.
I like to, but there's that very sweet fable about that humans used to have four arms, four legs, two heads and two hearts etc. They were so blissful as they were they didn't do anything productive, just wandered around being blissful. The gods were angry at seeing such blissful beings, so they cut them in half, so that they, and their ancestors, would have to spend their days wandering the earth looking for their 'other half'. Only when they found them could they return to their previous state of bliss.
A cute story. But if there is such a thing as soulmates, I think people would have a lot of possible soulmates. Then you can meet one and turn them into your soulmate.. if you see what I mean?
I found my soulmate at age 9 were still together i love him with all my heart!
I don't believe that everyone has a soulmate, I believe that most people are typically average and that the more average and passive a person is , the wider their range of potential life partners will be. This is based on the fact that most friendships are formed upon the realization and communication of common goals, beliefs and interests held by the two parties. It may be possible for a person to have a soul mate but one should not envy that person or strive for such a thing because to have a soul mate is to have only one person in the world that you can relate to on a deep and long lasting level. In my opinion in order for one to have a soul mate one would have to be uniquely different from everyone else except one person in the world. For example in Ripley's believe it or not book there is a woman with two sets of female genitals and a man with two sets of male genitals and they found each other and were a couple. I would use another example if I could think of one but that is the only couple that comes to mind when I think of the word soul mates. In any case however romantic their relationship might have been I do not envy them.
There was a time, i believed in them. Alas, the truth of this world, buried me in its devouring shadow.
With so much betrayal, lies and hurt. Caused by those we love, does the soul mate exist?
Perhaps, i am bitter, and twisted from my own life experiences. Though, it doesn't hurt, to believe in it.
They still are soul mates.
We're only here for a blink of an eye in our whole existance. When you die it isn't the end of your existence, it's the next phase of it.
Death isn't the end, it's the destination.
I believe in having a soul mate but i don't believe there is only one guy out there for one girl.. there are heaps of people who could be your soul mate
My belief is a little strange on that. I think we've all got several soulmates, but only a couple who can really be that "one" for us. My closest friends are a couple of mine, but I haven't met that special someone yet.
I'm sorry to hear that, my condolences to your sister and her family. May I ask-what happened to your sister's husband?
