I believe they are They met on a blind date, became engaged six weeks later and somehow, miraculously, their initial in- stincts were right: Its been 28 years. Although I have not found mine I imagine soul mate to mean best friend, comedic partner, parenting team, dual dreamers. It's the person you constantly think about, the person you can never spend enough time with, the person who causes a dull ache in the pit of your stomach when you are apart. Only a few chances to really discover true happiness. Can it be a best friend, not a romantic partner? Sure. It's the person without whom your life cannot continue in the best manner. The person who reaches deep down and touches your soul indefinite- ly, leaving behind a few fin - gerpri nts as evidence that only they have been there, that they alone can unlock the deepest, most personal part of you. Relationships are a big deal. They are what unravels after the wedding, and with- out anyone else's input — in- cluding family, friends, children. (Of course, it has to be able to endure the input of everyone around you.) Looking around this news- room, I see different examples of good, solid, real relation- ships, and it warms my heart. Because in this fast-paced world of competing concerns and conflicts, we have only a few chances to really discov- er true happiness — in what- ever -unexpected situation you find it. I'm sure people can make a situation fit their ideal, be- lieve that the person they're with is The One. But I think everyone wants a life com- panion, someone with whom they can plan a future, raise children, be silly, dream. In reality, we all yearn for a soul mate. So if we're smart, we'll choose wisely, hold out until we stumble upon that person, whom we can picture in the distant future, sitting with on a porch on a warm summer evening. Anything else just isn't worth it. 0
