I was a million miles closer to being soul-mates in the early years then I am now. My GOAL is to be soul-mates. I wish there were varying levels of success, but I really don't see it. For people to become soul-mates, then effectively BOTH spouses must get their needs met. Now if someone can explain to me how two people can become soul-mates while only ONE has desire, I would love to hear that.
