DREAMY: What’s the difference between “soul-mates” & “falling in love”?
To me, there’s a huge difference…
Can you define what a “soul mate” is? I haven’t fallen in love yet – but do believe I’ve found a few “soul mates.”
To me – as a Christian, a “soul mate” is someone who helps you & you help them, get to know God better.

One is a noun, one is a verb.
Answer by Tao Man
I fall in love once a week, I find a “soul mate” maybe a couple of times a year.

Answer by Jim
I agree. I have been “in love” many times but have yet to meet my soul-mate. I, being a Christian, find it difficult being involved with an Agnostic or someone of another faith, which has always led to the down fall of my love relationships.

There’s only one chance to find a soul mate but love comes all the time.

Hi,
They say opposites attract – and opposites are not usually soul mates – probably why when the ‘magic’ disappears that there are so many divorces.
‘Soul mates’ implies people who are very compatible and often think alike. Certainly if a couple have the same ‘world view’ and ‘moral standards’ they are more likely to last in a relationship.
I see no reason why soul mates can not fall in love and I am sure many do so.
Falling in love often is a result of physical attraction and chemistry and sadly many divorce ‘when the honeymoon’ is over and they have to get down to the grind of living together – ‘falling in love’ has to develop into ‘being in love’ and is more than physical attraction – respect, caring, sacrifice, trust all need to play a part in any long term relationship.

What I know of a Soul Mate is some one you are very close to cause you have a lot in common. You like the same activities, Same kind of cooking, Same way to decorate a house, like how each other looks like,{Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder} smells good,You feel content and warm together. Both Love God very much above anything else on Earth, Both want the same amount of children and believe similar in how to raise them. Both kind to animals and good to people and go to the same church….and most of all you laugh at each others humor and are Best friends out side of Jesus.. This to me is a soul mate{mates forever=blessing from God.}. The women is her husbands rib..and God brought you together by HIS leading.
Falling in love is just as quick as falling out of Love. Its all Chemistry.When that goes everything goes.

The term”falling in love” scares me – many say they “fall in love” with their bride/groom and years later end up divorcing. It may be the decision of ONE and end up effecting the other; whether or not they want divorce. One may fall in love with something, and according to them, they can fall out of love. I find that to be a great big dishonest lie. IF they were honestly true to themselves, they have to realize that their feelings might not have been what they should have been when they professed to love the other and their love was not honest.
I liken the love of a couple to that of a mother to her child. A mother will always love her child, whether or not she likes what they’ve done… we cannot divorce our children> and the bond of a husband/wife ought to be up there with this type of relationship, if NOT higher. Both are accountable for the umbrella of love, protection, and witness of God’s love they impart to their children.
A soul mate is that which God has sent your way and He has clarified that THIS person is the one for you… and after you’ve been joined to this “soul-mate” you MUST keep God central… and remain united through better or worse, etc, etc.
I’ve never loved in the romantic sense… yet I feel that I’ve sabotaged any idea of ever finding a soul-mate because my sin follows me. I KNOW I’ve been forgiven, I know I’ve been cleansed and made whole… but my heart tells me that God has said, “you’ve played, now it’s time to turn to other things.” And i’m perfectly fine with that.
BUT marriage is a holy union and should remain intact as BOTH do their part to edify the marriage institution that was set up by God. Marriage ought to be about “What can I do for them, to make them happy?” NOT what can they do for me, to make me happy?” IF that is what the motive is for one getting married, there is great disappointment to come. That’s why we MUST be clear — are we honest about ourselves? Are we whole and healthy? Are we prepared to go through thick and thin? Are we willing to let God guide and not our hearts? For our hearts will disappoint if we follow its whims and ever-changing desires.
When one decides to become united in the holy bond of matrimony; that person becomes your soul mate… you are NOW united to him/her as the church is united to Christ. IT IS Christ who becomes the true denominator> He is what makes a romantic relationship grow from “being in love” (feeling the feelings) to being bonded with your soul-mate… to understand the great responsibility of building this house with the Lord as your guide.
Do the unsaved have “soul-mates”? Never like the true bond that Christ blesses a Christian marriage with, in my opinion.
Blessings, XOXOXO
