Yes, I believe my husband is my soul mate. I do sort of think us meeting was destiny too, because of how unlikely it was that we ever would meet. He's from London, I'm from Louisiana, and we literally ran into each other in a parking lot in Texas! Not likely ...

We have been together since the moment we met as well. 'Love at first sight' and all that. It has been 5 years since we met, 3 since we were married, and the feelings have intensified rather than diminishing.

Which doesn't mean it is easy. Probably the reason our relationship is so good, despite us both having emotional problems, is because we work SO hard at it. We have extremely good communication and always put the relationship ahead of everything else.

I think the reason so many relationships fail is because one or both people are unable or unwilling to learn how to really communicate their deepest feelings. My husband is unusual among men in that he desperately wants to communicate and get any problem resolved as quickly as possible.
