The words "soul mate" in America seems to have taken on the fantasy of all our other misperceptions and interpretations of life that society created .

There can exist varying degrees of soulfulness and varying degrees of soul mates that do not necessarily match on every level. The soul knows of no earthly bounded ness such as finances and what not, or more exactly it does not care. There can exist soul mates within a partnership (which I happen to think is rare) but a partnership can not be within soul mates. Soul mates is not a partnership form by us. It can not be trapped for our own use. This is one of these misperceptions that makes people feel like krud when they do not see it in their own relationships.

There also can be more than one soul mate or multiple soul mates. Take into account the number of people roaming this earth and take into account the number of souls not on this earth. The soul knows no bounds. That being said, it does not mean you have to "do it" with each and every soul mate that crosses your path. The purpose of the soul is too experience itself, to continue to create upon its self and to love. There is nothing but fear and love. Any other emotion is a derivative of the two. Our relationships with one another helps the soul to grow or not to grow if relationship is lacking. The soul is mysterious and we do not know its course. If we are quiet enough, we can follow our soul and receive in all its wonderfulness.

I am glad your marriage does not fall within my defiention of "not in-love". Since then I've grown to know the difference between "in-love" and a deep caring mature love that I have with my wife. Both can exist at the same time and both do not have to exist at the same time.
