Do you believe in the existence of a soul mate for every person? Do you believe there's one out there for you?

Or do you think that two ppl just love eachother & work on their relationship, thus it is successful having nothing to do with being soul mates?

From childhood :

me: Father dear father, why are you selling such expensive women bags when they are so small and cannot seem to carry more than one item at a time? who would buy such a thing?

Father: to every stupid item, there is a stupid customer and that is valid to everything.

a week later a lady bought the bag that I would wallah divorce my wife if she bought.
-------------------

My stand?

lets not dwell on and dance around the point : No soul mates, there are many partners one could choose from. If not, you would not hear about many girls calling scholars to find out how to pray Istekharah! should I pick him or him or maybe him? yes the main purpose for istekharah in a girl's life is to choose the hubby. "now thats what you call opinionated post" http://smilies.jeeptalk.org/otn/funny/icon16.gif

I don't believ:( what is that ?

Raed I want to know what the bag looked like. :hmm:

i bever believed in suh crap, and i still don't...just the idea of having only one person for you makes me laugh. what about ppl who get married twice and three times, do they have more than one soul mate? what about ppl who don't get married, soul mate died? its just an idea promoted by movies, novels....etc

Yes but not always you find him/her so you go for the closest not the closet lol and it doesn't mean is a second choice, is always love.

This is the second part of the story, having found your soul mate doesn't mean you are on a bed of roses, ask me for details :rolleyes:
The relation in any case requires lots of work and dedication.

MCM <-- I think that's the brand and it couldn't carry a floppy disk fitted horizontally "what a way to measure"

I thought I believed that, but I can honestly say now that I don't. I think that people can adapt easily, and so a person can have successful relationships with any number of people, as long as they are determined to make it work.

I think maybe there is someone somewhere out there who can really match you and be your soul mate, but how possible is it to find him, as him/her being out there doesnt mean you are destined to be together..

I'm not sure really, personal opinion..

I dont really know to be honest... and only time could really tell if it does exist. I would like to believe that it does though.

Yes, I do believe that there is one for me. :) There must be, there are too many people out there. I just haven't found him yet.

Every marriage requires work. That depends on how compatible the couple are. Less compatibility=More work.

While with the soulmate, since you are supposed to be very compatible=less work. Easier way of holding marriage together.

You may not meet this soul mate. If you meet him though, you are destined to be together whatever the circumstances. He will fight and try to be with you, even in the most challenging of circumstances. After all we now live in the 21st century, we no longer have this rubbish of having to marry a particular person and can choose whom we want to marry. If you meet your soulmate you will be destined to be together. Although you might meet a Mr. Right and not be destined together. My opinion at least.

Might seem very optimistic, but then I am a romantic. :D

Well I don't totaly disgaree that the fact there is still soul mates out there but I can say they r becoming extinct in other words they are slowly vanishing ...well I am not sure if there is one out there for me :hmm:

Or do you think that two ppl just love eachother & work on their relationship, thus it is successful having nothing to do with being soul mates?
Well this is also another possible way on how thier relationship could work out i mean if both just accept the fact that they r not really each other's soul mates but they are suitable enough....then that's good enough!

Somehow i used to believe,there are some ppl who re-marry GOD knows how many times,at the end,they end up with someone for their rest of their lives, so i think thats their soulmates.

And to those who arent married and died single,cant say about that.

Hey I opened a similar thread a long time ago! lol

I used to really believe in the existance of soul mates. I thought that there must be a half to each and everyone of us, but at the same time I used to believe that even though your other half is somewhere out there, you probably won't get to meet this person, or if you do, it doesn't necessarily mean that you're gonna spend your life with.

Now I'm not so sure. Sometimes I think it was probably too romantic and doesn't really apply to the real world. Or that there could be a more realistic definition of soul mates. Being realistic, you can find someone and you can make it work but it means a lot of responsibility and hard work, otherwise no relationship whatsoever can ever survive.

yeah Dr. N i remember my replying to the same thread!

well to be honest im not so sure anymore.. part of me wants to believe that there is only 1 perfect person for me out there, while the practical me believes that its all in the head, and if both of u blv that u r in love .. then u simply are.. and u live together happily and work and compromise for love. So.. i guess i dont blv in soulmates anymore. Honestly if you think about it.. there can't be just ONE SINGLE person in the ENTIRE universe that is PERFECT for you.. i mean.. that just doesnt sound oh so reasonable.

The sole idea of "someONE" being out there for you, conflicts the rules that society/religion has set up for almost all of us.

Omanis marry Omanis. Muslims marry Muslims. Shia sect followers marry fellow shiites and same goes for Sunni or any other sect there exists.

How do you expect to find the right guy/girl, if they weren't Omani/Muslim to start with?! :think:

I do believe that but i think am having more than one soul mate and ther are others coming on the way.My Mother my father may only brother and my comming wife and children are my soul mates

There are different degrees of love, whom ever you reach the deepest of them all with, you would have found your soul mate.

I thought I believed that, but I can honestly say now that I don't. I think that people can adapt easily, and so a person can have successful relationships with any number of people, as long as they are determined to make it work.
i agree with that ... even ifthere were soulmates , theyre not nessacarly meant to be for each other ...

ya ,,, i do belive that ,,, there is one for each one ,,, and oneday they gona meet ,,, in a way or other ,,,

but how and when ,, and what the chance of that ,,,, really dona know ,,,

but am sure about soul mate :)

i do believe there is someone out there special for you.
Coz everyone has other half to be complete.

i never believed in suh crap, and i still don't...just the idea of having only one person for you makes me laugh. what about ppl who get married twice and three times, do they have more than one soul mate? what about ppl who don't get married, soul mate died? its just an idea promoted by movies, novels....etc

I do agree,


just the idea of having only one person for you makes me laugh<<< I would say

just the idea of having only one person for you makes me happy and I can live with in peace :blush:

Yes i believe there is someone out there specially made for me, born for me, made to love me. Yes i believe there is someone out there who will be with me through thick and thin. Yes i believe that there;s someone out there who will be mine forever.

Problem is....she just hasnt stepped forward yet, so i could give her this goddamn heart of mine.
