Is the Idea of a "Soulmate" Real or a Romantic Myth?

[Urvashi]

Some believe in destined partners, while others think relationships require effort, not fate. Is the idea of a soulmate helpful or harmful to real relationships? Do you believe you’ve met someone who was truly meant for you?

I am not sure if soulmate is true, I know finding someone who complements you and completes you matters to a lasting relationship. My wife and I each have our own strengths & weaknesses. Our personalities are similar but our social skills are different. Our parenting styles are different but we agree more than we disagree.

Yes I believe in soulmate. it should not be about a myth but I know it is real. When you meet your soulmate you would be at peace with the relationship

I think it is real but it is scarce. For most people, relationship is a compromise or a compulsion.

I don't believe in any special one. People should enter relationships with their minds opne and not believe that they are made for one person or another. Is there a need for such an act?

I believe true connections are built through effort and understanding. Soulmates exist, but effort strengthens bonds and makes love last.

There are so many romantic ideas that are brought up by movies, romantic fictions etc. but in reality life happens. In a bigger picture a lot of other things come. And things don't stay rosy at all. There is no perfect relationship or perfect partner. It's the effort and commitment of two imperfect people that makes the relationship work and thrive. You will have your bad days and good days. And if you are committed to make it work and so is your partner, you have found your soulmate.
