From the beginning... well a year from the beginning. I met him about a year before just casually... but from the moment I MET him... it was from the beginning :)

Adorable ;)
Integrity
Honor
Respect
Trust
Loved kids
and animals
Absolute knowing he was the one..
Loved me... and we both wanted one marriage.
We both had similar backgrounds which was rather neat too however I don't think that would necessarily be part of it.
We both liked sports and reading and games...
We both loved our country (family had imbedded that deep within)

but we never sat down and ran through a list of this and that.. it was more overall.... Knowing.

ok... yepper... you bet we fought...and argued... etc... normal people... but underlying that... One!

Another thing we had was we never talked to other people about a problem if one materialized. We always solved it between ourselves rather than gossip. If later, something happened to someone else and they needed someone who had 'been there'... then we could mention it and how we solved it..IF someone needed it...

Loyalty..

I don't know... lots of things contributed... but we just Knew.. so one of us could have not liked animals, not liked something etc and we would have worked it out.

How about... wanted each other to be happy.

You going to E harmony ;)

For anyone who has a soul mate, I'm curious to hear what makes them a soul mate and whether they were a soul mate from the outset or it developed over time.

Isn't that what they call the couples on "Soul Train"??? J/K

"Soul mate".
While I have had a spouse for over 30 years; I am not so sure I've ever called him my "soul mate"...and I've called him a LOT of things over the years!

IF I had to answer that question; I guess I'd say it has been simmering and seasoning for years...whatever you might want to call it. Like a fine wine; it keeps getting better.
The relationship that we had when we were 16 & 18, and the relationship that caused us to get married in the first place; is far removed from the relationship we have today.

Some say they know their "soul mate" from the word "go"; but I don't see how that could be. I'd think it would be a work in progress over time.

Now...I'll read the next few posts and see what wisdom (that probably made more sense) you got from other's. Who knows, if Honor answered, I may have to delete this!!!

E'

I don't know about soul mates, but the first time I met my wife I knew I was gonna marry her. She was engaged to someone else and I was about to get that way, but things change.

We are married, and I don't see that ever changing.

I think we function perfectly together, couldn't imagine not being with her.
