Since the thread subject was formulated into a question, I will give you my honest opinion about soulmateship. I think it is for neurotic people, who have to tell themselves that they are in love and therefore their lives worthwile.
However, I do believe in God (though not in God the Man), in Providence (sometimes
), and in love at first sight. I certainly had a strong feeling of all three when I met my wife, four years ago. But since, I have felt an equal measure of bitter strife and the necessity to adapt my own soul to that of another person, a process both painful and rewarding.
Having rigid preconceptions about the way things such as love should be is never a good idea; in fact it may even destroy a potentially healthy relationship. Instead, I say try to tackle life with a great deal of
amor fatis, that is an acceptance of your life, along with whatever surprises it may hold in store for you. Conversely, looking for perfection, you may easily see your life go by without having the least appreciation of it.
But since you two seem to get along really nice, there is no good reason why things should not work out for you. Good luck!
