What things are the strongest indicators to you that you have met a 'soulmate'?? |
||||
|
to some people the physical has not much to do with it and it is the attraction of spiritual and mind that is most compelling

I wish I could give an answer but the truth is I haven't met the one. But, quite possibly I have and just don't know it yet? I think this question would be more appropriate if addressed to couples. As singles we can only think about what may make for a perfect relationship. Anyway, as for me I'm trusting the Potter and not making lists. Who knows.......He may want us to remain single.

GREAT ANSWERS! You know to launch the poll, I had to set up some 'specific' options...but the 'write ins' Just like in a political election...are generally the MOST interesting! I am also surprised there had not been more honest answers to the last option...LOL...we all know you are out there...  I will consider the idea about couples, but you know...I knew what would be the things in my heart that would reveal to me who my soulmate was, and how I would know, (that God would reveal it to me with some clear sign) way before I met Joe, who was mine. So even as singles...I am just interested to hear from others...what things in their heart they seek, what it is about someone that would even put them in the running as such... Even better from couples who have found it. For me, it was his sweet spirit coming through. He was a real mess the first day I met him, physically...dirty, just coming from a demolition...hair that didn't become him...old broken glasses...clothes that didnt fit right...and no particularly attractive outward features outside of his impressive size. But on our first date...he cleaned up real good...LOL! What made me accept the 'date' was a friendship that had developed from that first meeting...that was based in seeing in him and he in me...the spirit of Jesus, the generosity, the kindness, the childlikeness even. Yes, Jesus living through us makes us childlike...when He takes our cares...that comes through. The physical attractions that developed only enhanced the already blossoming spiritual and emotional connection. The day he proposed He said exact words that I had asked God a very long time to hear, and i knew for sure , beyond ANY doubt that day...he was it. He once said it simply...when I asked him how he knew it was me he wanted to marry...he said..'I just knew it inside every part of me- we clicked. And I knew I didn't want to live without what we had, no matter what that meant having to go through to keep.' I miss him. I know he was the one, no matter what challenges we had (and we did) or how brief our time was. Whether we get that twice in life I don't know...I am grateful to have had it once. But I will know it if I find it again, God will help to make it clear as He did this time... What having had the gift of Joe and he the gift of me taught me was...it was half the connection we percieved and half the mutual decision to pursue keeping it, that made us soulmates. God bless you all, and keep those comments coming, they are GREAT!

I can only give an honest opinion since I havent yet met the Wife God has for me, lol In my view, all areas of compatability are important: Spiritual, mental, emotional and physical.( any others?)But not necessarily of equal importance. However, the Spiritual compatability needs to be present so that the two believers can be EQUALLY YOKED, having the LORD JESUS at the centre of their relationship. Without this FOUNDATION of Spiritual compatability we are in danger of entering into relational suicide. I have spoken with Christians whose faith has been Compromised and endangered by a willingness to abandon the Spiritual admonition NOT to be unequally yoked! I have also seen the tragic consequnces of a luke warm faith, conflict between partners values and the effect on children of marriage between believers and unbelievers

Hi Barb; I just now found this survay. My soulmate will be one that puts God first in her life. She will literally believe that the Bible IS the Word of God. She will be of sufficient spiritual maturity to thrive on the meat of the Word, not just the milk. There should be chemestry there, but I sort of think the spirit helps to induce that, although it may come by physical means as well. Physical looks are not really a big issue. Again the spirit will define her beauty to me. But it would be nice if she's a brown-eyed bruntte, and I also have this strange preference for women who are regarded as 'overweight'. All this is a pretty generic discription, and fits a lot of women. But there are two ways that I will know for sure. And it's very long time understanding just between me and the Lord, which had never happened, and is so unlikely to happen, that when it does, I will know for sure that she is the one. The first would be for she and I to both receive the same revelation from God regarding the same issue or event. And secondly, she will have the same arraingement with God herself, to receive the same revelation from God regarding the same event or issue. Such a long shot is not impossible with God, but it will tell me with my little faith, that I stand in the presence of my future wife, and she will know it too. After that the real work begins, for unlike the vast majority of members here on B.C. who think that something like that will be magic and everything will fall into place without any effort, my soulmate will be realistic, and mature enough to know there is NO magic to building a great romance. It requires a lot of effort on the part of both partners, and with that effort we will continuelly try to bless the other which will build a love cycle that we will both have a lot of fun to keep going. But it will not ever be perfect until we are raptured. Meanwhile, we can expect conflits to occur. But we shall overcome each of them together, and with our Lord. Isaiah 66:2b; But to this one I will look, To him who is humble and contrite of spirit, and who trembles at My word.
