David Popenoe, Ph.D., co-director of the National Marriage Project: "[A soul mate] means a person who is exactly right for you, with whom you have perfect chemistry. In theory, the concept is terrific. But searching and believing in a soul mate is not helpful. Anyone has hundreds of potential marriage partners. It's a terrible idea to look for a perfect match. He does not exist."
Mary T. Browne, psychic and author of The Power of Karma: "The concept of a soul mate implies that you can't achieve perfection without uniting with another person. But each of us is whole in and of herself. What people really want is a loving, harmonious, passionate relationship. There are many people at this time on Earth that you can have a meaningful connection with."

I've read that those who believe in a Soulmate--a single person who is your perfect romantic partner--are more likely to be depressed, but can't seem to find my source. It makes sense though.
I guess it's like anything else. There is no "one perfect job" for a person, but a multitude of jobs that would be suitable and pleasing. Or so I hope.
