Soulmates

wondering said:
It's sad Edward. I'm sorry.
People get those mid age blues. They seek a change. They lose sight of old age, of eternity.
We want to be young. We want a second chance. Maybe we did something wrong? Maybe we got married for love and it should have been money? Doubts. Satan is always ready.

It's nice that you pray for her. She needs it.
And I pray for you.

Thank you Sister. I had to take the blame and turn it into a learning experience for my sanity. That was the only way to make it a positive.

I know what I did wrong too. I had the (manly, lol) position of, if I don't cheat and work & pay all the bills, I'm good. When I came home from work I did my duty as a husband...the days over...

Pondering this I was able to see the error in it. She worked all day at home cleaning and watching the kids...then when I got home thinking my day is over...hers wasn't, it got harder then caring for me and dinner and all that.

Working & paying bills is a means to an end. I wanted to marry this girl and live happily ever after and have a family...

One needs a job to do that. So when I come home from work, the days not over, but has just begun.
Next time, I'm going to help her more and cook quite a bit too. She shouldnt have to cook 365 and cooking for her once a year only on her birthday or whatever...seems kinda lame. At least once a week I figure.
:yes

Edward,
The discussion is getting rather complicated. It's not that I'm not willing, but it would get very personal.
We all make mistakes, that's for sure. Sometimes we find out when it's too late. I feel that love, together with a mental commitment, should be able to get over anything - on both sides. Sometimes the commitment dissipates, sometimes the love. You need the commitment very much.

I liked it when men went to work and made a living for the family and women stayed home and made A HOME. Call me old-fashioned. I don't think I am. I think I've thought about this really well, and this 50 50 idea doesn't seem to be working out really well. Just an observation. And, anyway, we can't go back, only forward. Brave New World.

The attitude of "I'm not cheating, I'm bringing home the plenty" and that's enough is a fallacy. It' not enough to just NOT DO BAD, you have to DO GOOD. It's a biblical concept! Neutral gets you nowhere, you have to move on to God's side...

My opinion? Eating out every now and then is fine. I prefer to have help with the cooking , the setting, and the cleaning up every day, instead of eating out once a week. You feel the moment - it doesn't lessen the moment's feeling because I know I'm going to be eating out in a few days. See?

Okay. That's my two cents.
And that's all it's worth: 2 cents.

I wasn't walking with the Lord then.
:sad

I didn't mean go out to eat. I can cook. It's not hard, lol
 
To me a soul mate, is to become a same soul.
As the bride of Christ, becomes one soul.

Sooooo deeeeeeeeeeep! Lol!
If my husband dies, soul mate, it would feel like half of my soul would be empty...View attachment 9341

See what you made me do, lol.
 
Your Soulmate is not perfect, but they are perfect for you....
Your soulmate is the one who makes your hard times so much easier to bear....
Your soulmate is the one you can sit in a room with for hours and you don't have to talk, you can just BE....
Another word for soulmate is: bestfriend....
Your soulmate is the one you would never want to replace with another....

I still think soulmates is a romantic fantasy. Any man & any woman can fall in love. It had to be like that so we would be fruitful and multiply.

Sometimes a couple will be vibrating at the same frequency, and when that happens it seems magical so they think its more than being in love.

Love is very powerful and can cause things to happen that are above our understanding.

Would it be possible for you to believe that Eve was created from Adam's rib and thereby created for Adam as a perfect "fit", a "second half", a "soul mate"?
Is it possible that God has a perfect will for a Believer's life and this will includes the perfect mate that is a perfect fit for the male and he the perfect fit for the female?
Would you consider that to "not be unequally yoked", also implies to be married to the "right person" for a believer, that God would have you marry"?
Also, if Paul tells us that to marry, in general... is to invite much trouble into our lives, then would it not be exponentially true that the wrong marriage partner is to invite not only trouble but HELL ON EARTH into our lives?

Sure, all the way up to soulmate.

Probably. But people never obey God that much that His plan for us can manifest. Because our hearts are deceitfully wicked.

You're very probably right about this, however, the admonishment (commandment?) to not be unequally yoked, is taken lightly with people. Much like, be ye perfect as I am...sin, and the desires of the heart, make it nigh impossible to allow us to be patient enough to wait for God to manifest a good yoke in our life. We're not big on delayed gratification in case you hadn't noticed, lol.

Oh, absolutely. But not many people (any?) are willing to wait on God. The lust of the heart burns now, and that girl seems nice plus she'll prolly change (ha!)...people are on their best behavior early on too, and a lustful heart is easily deceived.
 
Put a stranger (man) alone in a room with a girl that finds nothing attractive about the man...and she'll be hostile to him. She don't want him no way no how. Even if he showers her with attention and love.

Two days later, introduce any other woman into the same room with them and a curious thing happens...

The man will start paying attention to the new girl. No surprise there, as a man is more interested in a woman that is interested in him (or at least not hostile) than he is in a woman that is not, even if she's a 10.

At this point, the hostile girl begins developing feelings for the man...she misses the attention.(!)
She can't help it. She's been robbed of her control over the man (he desires her) and that makes women go click, and shift gears.

:chin:chin...:lol

What strange books have you been reading Edward?
You have some funny ideas.
But it is good to know that woman have control over men.
I'll keep that under my hat for further use when necessary...

I love this picture. It reminds me of my two oldest munchkins at the beach. They are both in their 40's now and I wish I could have them little again.
 
This is a tough one for me. Putting the creation of man and woman in New Agey terms (which I hate) seems to be a no-no, but I personally see it as mostly a matter of semantics. Well, whatever, not wanting to offend. Sometimes I try scientific verbiage, but still not sure if it works. OK, fine, Bible on.

:lol I forget which one, but observation over time seemed to support the notion...in general.

That women have control of men isn't correct, but observation concludes that it holds true for believers & unbeliever alike. Unbelievers (generally) just don't know any better, and believers (generally) let them control for tradition, humility & love.
It's as if women are the precious commodity here on earth, and most men don't realize that it's men that are the commodity! There's less men than women, and lots of them are gay or married, the rest of the men aren't all good men...there's just not that many men to go around. Competition can be fierce.
I'm rambling, sorry.

Two questions. Ok, there can be no soulmates, without love, agreed? That said, is love a choice?
If love is a choice, could two soulmates in one lifetime be possible or not?

Show your work, lol. :chin:lol

What is my soul mate?
The first time ever I saw her face huh?

There’s a saying that we can’t live with them,
but we can’t do without them.

Who is it that lifts me when I’m down?
How can I work two jobs to make things
easier for her and my family?

She’s my love more today than she was
near sixty years ago. Is that circumstance?
God’s grace? or a work in progress by my Father
that cannot fail.

Nay, God has been altogether lovely to us, and it is
narrowed into a combination of all things working
for good to us who love Him.

Thank You Father for granting me such a gem to
spend my life here with. Soul mate? I do not know
that are words that can describe the feelings we
feel when words fail. I reckon I will take the cup of
salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD.
