Would you marry your soulmate or best friend? Let's assume that they are not one in the same! Who would you choose to make your life partner?

This is what I was thinking? I know my best friend.. would I marry him? Well, He is great, but I would like to wait a little if you don't mind, my marriage does put a bit of a damper on it.... but a soul mate? That will have to be defined for me first..

I think to get to soul mate, the friendship has to build to the point where that special connection is made. The one that is felt even when it's not seen. And for that to be strong enough, it takes time...

Not really thinking about marrying anyone right now...just enjoying life and the way the river is travelling right now...

Soul mate

Those of you who found your soulmate and married him or her are lucky. I married my best friend, but my marriage is passionless. A soul mate is someone with whom you have a deep connection and understanding. The dictionary defines it as "a person with whom one has a strong affinity." Affinity is also the same as attraction. I think having a soul mate is far more than attraction. Not only is there a compatability factor with your soulmate, but there is a sense of respect and acceptance that can withstand (and demolish) everyday trials and complacency. Do I make sense?:sg

Yes, you make sense. Of course I thought I had married both one and the same. We are still good friends and think alike in all things non-sexual. She is not a good lover but a very good friend which makes it hard.

Of course marrying your best friend may be the perfect way to destroy a good friendship...

On the NON-cynical side, however, I would 100 pct opt for soul mate. "Soul mate" to me means more than best friend; someone who connects with you on many levels, knows your feelings, understands YOU in a way no one else can.

Why thanks for that hug. Here is one right back at you. :hug:

It is interesting to see how unbalanced a lot of marriages are. One spouse wants passion and the other spouse is on to other things that interest them more. Wonder what causes this? I know that it is not a one-sided thing, but both drift away from each other in relationships.

Dsparate Hswife

I think it is so important to grow TOGETHER in a marriage. You have to have the same goals and plan for the future. If not...compromise. Unfortunately, my marriage has always been passionless. I just thought it would change at some point.

Life, methinks. What started out as one thing changes over time. And who can predict it? My wife becomes more and more provincial over time, while I like to stay out and party once in a while. Views change, tastes, dreams, etc. Marriages should be on 5-year-option-for-renewal basis.

ok... heres my slant on it, for what its worth. A soul mate (as in Man and woman) is where both partners have realistic expectations from the relationship. That is, not expecting the other to make you feel complete, thus talking responsibility for who you are and what you want, and not expecting your partner to do this. Ah, bollocks give me a phone and I'll explain... :D

Dsparate Hswife
05-31-2007, 05:22 PM
You should never depend on someone to make you feel complete!! That comes from within...

i can't imagine the grief i'm going to get for this, but here is my idea of what a soulmate is:

it's the person who, when you meet them, you feel the vibration between the two of you, almost like a tuning fork. it's the moment of recognition that you've always known this person, and part of you cries in realizing you've been apart before now. it's an immediate, recognized sense of loss that the other half of you is over there.

i won't argue that intellectually, emotionally, whatever, it's a mistake to try and find someone to complete you. i will say that I believe when you meet your soulmate you recognize that you aren't complete.

and, i also think there's more than just one in the world.

man, i bummed myself out with that one, but there it is.

Deadlines are funny things - sometimes they are long and hard, sometimes fast and furious. sometimes they alternate between the two, and the tension results in a tremendous climax that leaves you exhausted afterward

i agree that they are one and the same. if you are lucky enough to find your soulmate, s/he will instantly be your best friend. however, a best friend is not necessarily a soulmate, but could be just the closest thing you've found so far.

now, if you asked "would you rather marry your soulmate, or someone with less emotional connection but by far the best sex you ever had?" i would pick soulmate.

Not at the present time no! But there have been a few times where groups of friends in the past all got together drinking, and one girl and I didn't care for each other very much, we wound up in my bedroom and wound up having a pretty good time together. It was definately strange to say the least.
