"... where INDEPENDENT artists shine!"

ARE PEOPLE REALLY FAITHFUL AND COMMITTED TO EACH OTHER???

With my level of thinking, people cheat because sometimes its just something to do. To actually see if they can get away with it. Or, maybe there are some things that are not being taken care of in that relationship, such as, sex, understanding, spending quality time, listening, complimenting each other, making sure that your more than just a man/woman to your mate. You should want more like true friendship, trust, enjoying each other, having a good time just being in each others presence, etc. Love takes a major part, but really can we just stand on love??? Meeting people everyday is cool, but do you honestly want to be in search for someone else and are you truly with the person who your meant to be with (soul mate) is that what we call it??? Can anyone clarify SOUL MATE??? What do you think love is??? What's the difference between love and being in love???

People cheat everyday. This is an unfortunate occurrence, but none the less people become victim to it on a daily basis. It all comes down to a choice a person makes. Like it was said before, people to cheat for different reasons. Some do it for sport , some do it out of greed, some do it because of lust etc. Whatever the reason, it happens because someone made a decision, a choice to take care of themselves for what ever reason, selfish or just cause. Most times, unfaithfulness happens because he or she did not communicate properly. (meaning he or she is not a mind reader) This is not always the case and other factors in gross numbers can contribute to this ancient syndrome. Moving on.

Touching on Soul mate: There can be many factors that create a union for two. Most people think they have things in common and this can be true. Some get so caught up in a person, that they mirror that person and it gives the appearance of perfect harmony. Differences in him/her can be the main ingredients for a productive relationship. In my opinion when two people have differences and those same differences can merge to make a union. That could be the key to a great relationship. Now if the difference always conflict that is another issue all together. I am not saying that having things in common are not good. I am saying that different interests are good also. Do I believe that there are chance meetings that just seem like GOD placed two perfect people together. YES!!! I also believe a relationship is what two people make of it. Not what the world thinks, your friends, family or Dr. Phil...lol! Relationships work if both parties want them to work. Essentially Soul Mate could just mean a spiritual friend.

I might have gone off track slightly but that is my two cents.

No, we can’t, or at least I can’t.
The deal with falling in love is once you get there, if you want to stay there, you can’t just be there; you have to LIVE (VERB) there. (may morph into an independent post)Meeting people everyday is cool, but do you honestly want to be in search for someone else and are you truly with the person who your meant to be with (soul mate) is that what we call it??? Can anyone clarify SOUL MATE???

I don’t believe in soul mates.

What do you think love is??? What's the difference between love and being in love???
Love is an emotional verb, being in love is the state of sharing that concept with another but it varies so widely and infinitely. It would be such a shortcoming for me to attempt a distinct definition. Simply put, “Love is…”

Comment by AJ Houston on June 25, 2009 at 12:42pm: There are a lot of things to answer but you are on the right track in your search for solutions. SoulMate: a coined phrase used at first like "Love at First Sight" and all the others we could wrap our minds around invoking everyone to create their own definitions, it sounds good so that phrase is a keeper. If you go through the words that require explanation they are all Biblical, faithful, love, and committed, requiring one to have at least a toe on the line of some belief system teaching in essence what each one looks like. Everyone has the same struggle you pose here but often giving love with requirements attached is not love at all. Loving is a sacrifice we hope for the happy ending but stand in shock when it fails. Truth of the matter is you will hear variations of experiences but yours will differ non the less. So when you give your heart be prepared for whatever the outcome, but love completely because you should never be caught short of being your best.... And know it is their loss if they can't tell the best thing that ever happened to them from a counterfeit. Thanks for the conversation, keep posting and you will find your own resolve. Thank You....
