I never put much faith in the idea of soul mates. I think it makes for good, if not sad, movie watching (What Dreams May Come) but it as many movie plots is highly romanticized. The real world is about solid relationships that are started with bravery and perfected over time. If a good relationship is worked on hard enough I think it can feel like two people have transcended to a level equivalent to soul mate states but I do not think this happens right of the bat or at least not very often. Some of the guys I work with are originally from parts of the world in which arranged marriages are still common. I asked about how well these marriages work and they spoke quite highly of the connections that are made over time. This to me is a form of proof in what I am saying above.
Although there is still speculation, most geologists agree that with time and much effort, carbon becomes diamond and as such so does a relationship become like soul mates. Ok so being buried 100 miles below the earth’s crust, heated to about 2200 degrees Fahrenheit, and squeezed under 725,000 pounds of pressure per square inch might also have something to do with this process but you get the idea. What’s not to say that working on a relationship is kind of like being buried, heated and put under extreme pressure?

It ain't about how hard you're hit, it is about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.
