Welcome. And I have a question for you: How do you post as a couple? I think you might be the only couple I've ever seen posting as a couple on TBD....
You say you're posting as a couple, but your posts are in the first person singular. What's up with that?
I hope you're very happy as soul mates. But I've always been kinda skeptical of the concept. I think it's important for spouses to be together and intimate (as in self-revealing), but at the same time, to maintain separate lives so they don't become too enmeshed in each other and burn out on one another. I try to speak for me, not us. My wife speaks for herself. I would never post on TBD as a couple. And it seems like you're not doing that either. Or are you?
I am also new here and I agree with Michael as far as being skeptical of the whole "soul mate" concept. I think you can be a great couple without having the same opinions on everything; that is what makes a great, long-lasting marriage is diversity.
My husband and I have been married for over 26 years. He loves to go camping, I would rather be somewhere where I can order room service. He is very adventurous (mountain climbing, sky-diving, scuba-diving, etc.) and the biggest risk I take is drinking milk a day or two after it has expired. We have similar political leanings (to the left), but disagree on some specific issues. He loves to travel, and so do I, but I would rather drive and he would rather fly. Compromise and learning from each other is the way a marriage survives. Also - not throwing in the towel at the first sign of conflict.
Looking forward to connecting with new people on this site. I am a virtual assistant and work from home so the internet is how I connect with most people I work with and I thought it would be nice to connect with people that didn't want to specifically discuss business issues.
Hello soulmatecouple, i am new to this site as well. By keeping up with your lastest comments, it seems you might be looking for something else. Or am i stepping on your toes?
