The thing I absolutely love about my relationship with Vishnu (and always have) is that I can be myself around him 100% of the time.  I’m never ridiculed or judged for acting goofy or saying something silly.  And the same goes for him.  I actually love goofy Vishnu – always cracks me up!

 

So the other night, I brought up a topic that we’ve discussed a few times before – soul mates.

 

You see, I’m a pretty spiritual person.  On the other hand, a lot of Vishnu’s beliefs are rooted in scientific theory.  Not all, but some.  Even with our different views, we agree on a lot, and at the very least, we agree to disagree.

 

I honestly didn’t know what would come of this conversation but here’s how it went…

 

P:  Do you believe in soul mates?
V:  …yes (as he shrugs his shoulders a little)
P:  Do you think we’re soul mates?
V:  …yes (as he looks at me with an uncomfortable look on his face)
P:  Well, I honestly believe we are.  I don’t know what it is but I feel connected to you…always have.  Know what I mean?
V:  I feel connected to you too, Par.
P:  No, I’m talking about the kind of connection that links us together for eternity!!  You’re stuck with me, babe!  I’ll hunt you down if need be!  (Laughing)
V: (holds my hand and continues to watch TV)

 

This is pretty typical for us when it comes to these types of conversations.  But I still love that I can bring up the topic and state my view.

 

This past Saturday marked nine months of marriage for us (credit goes to my mom for actually remembering – Vishnu and I didn’t even think about it), and once again I was reminded of all the reasons why I’m one of the luckiest people in the world.  With the #1 reason being…

 

…I married my soul mate.
