Do you believe in soulmates? Why or why not? – Asks the daily prompt.

Soulmates is a term I haven’t used a lot, but I feel like I’ve had several. So yes, I believe in them.

That connection that is stronger than most. The feeling that they know you and you know them on a deeper level.

Lots of marriages have found their soulmates and their love for each other is boundless and unconditional. Soulmates look into your eyes and you into theirs.

Soulmates don’t lose connection because they are naturally drawn together. You understand them easily. You can understand their pain and empathize with them. You say good things about each other and support each other. In ways that make you both better.

You’re in sync with each other, you listen better and interact with enthusiasm.

The other day I remembered an old childhood friend. We were soulmates. I’ve been married to my soulmate for decades. And luckily a few more are soulmates that I’ve had for decades.

Soulmates can rescue and save you at times in life. And you for them.

Why do I believe in them. I’ve experienced it.

Sometimes soulmates never speak a word but communicate more than most people.
