I thought this question might be interesting seeing as some of the boys aren’t really at that stage where they are even interested in love or relationships.  I am curious to see how they view love, long term relationships and marriage.

When I met my husband I was young, but jaded.  My first marriage didn’t work out, and I didn’t think I deserved to be loved.  R showed me differently, and now looking back on it my take is this: I think every once in awhile, someone ‘up there’ (God, a higher being or power-take your pick) gets it right-really right.  I think some people would be surprised to know that my husband works from home, and truth be told there are 168 hours in a week, and we probably spend 160 of them in the same area as one another.  Sure some of that time is sleeping, but I KNOW he is there.  My body knows, my soul knows, and it knows when he isn’t.

Recently I had lunch with my sister, who just went through the finalizing of her divorce.  I asked her if she might get remarried at some point, and she said she hoped so….then she asked if something happened to R if I would every remarry.  I thought about it for a moment, and could honestly say…I wouldn’t.  Like I said, sometimes that higher power works in mysterious way, and he/she puts two people together, and creates a love that is true.  That grows and matures and changes as those two people do…and I have that.  And honestly, I don’t think I would ever be willing to settle.

So, yes I believe in soul mates, but I don’t think everyone is lucky enough to find their’s.
