Your story within marriage context is right. However, your definition of soulmate seem to be too narrow and might cause confusion. So I want to add clarity from my perspective as this concept is close to my heart. Soulmate is not only for romantic relationships. A soulmate can refer to a deep and meaningful connection in any type of relationship, whether romantic, platonic, or even familial. It's about a profound understanding and compatibility that goes beyond the surface. For example I am married to one person but have multiple soulmates for decades. Your focus on trust and communication is excellent to maintain good relations and sustain marriage. Thank you for sharing your valuable experience.
