A soul mate is someone whom you feel was created just for you. You feel complete when in a relationship with him. My husband and I feel that we never want to be apart, unless we absolutely have to. My husband and I know that we are true soul mates. Within a couple of months of meeting each other and corresponding daily, we knew we were meant to spend eternity together, no matter what happened on this Earth.

We have a lot in common. We both love to write, listen to music, sing karoake, blog on the Internet, and family is very important to both of us.

When I couldn't decide between the red and pink rose bouquet but mentioned that red meant love, he asked me if I wanted both bouquets, but I decided on the red ones. Although it's usually said not to talk about past loves, we had already corresponded about them, so he knew I was divorced after a long-term marriage and that I had two grown children. I knew that he had been married for one year, and it had not worked out. He asked me on our date, "Where have you been all my life?" several times.
