Breaking up ‘soul mate’ is hard to do

Words matter, not only in literature but in love. That’s why, as we pass by Valentine’s Day and move toward the annual wedding season, I am calling for a divorce — or at least a trial separation — between the words “soul” and “mate.”

Who hasn’t heard an excited person say, after several weeks of dating: “I’ve found my soul mate!” The person really means to say: “I am utterly infatuated with this stranger.” But too often, infatuated people believe they have found the one person in the world whom they were meant to be with, and they apply the phrase soul mate to this inspired connection.

Reality check: According to all available evidence, a soul-mate relationship is not something you find in a moment or even develop over a few months. Quick marriages usually end quickly. A soul mate is someone you gain over years of being in a not-always-soul-stirring relationship.

Yes, soul mates share chemistry and eye contact. But they also persist through money woes and parenting problems and global pandemics. They outlive tragedy together. They go seasons without sex. Some even fall out of love for a while.

The smartest thing I ever heard about relationships came from a woman who had lasted 30 years with her quirky husband. She recalled that on the eve of her wedding, she decided to make a list of 10 of her fiancé’s faults that, for the sake of their marriage, she would always overlook.

When the woman was asked which of her husband’s faults she had listed, she replied, “You know, I never did get around to listing them. Instead, every time he does something that makes me mad, I simply say to myself, ‘Lucky for him, that’s one of the 10!’” BL
