I'll say that I've been through several relationships and there was always this assumption of the "other," you know, he and I, he or I. When I started to date Skeet it was an almost instantaneous "us." We've talked about it and agree that we recognize each other's faults but they don't make the other person seem in any way truly flawed. I don't have this storybook passion (which isn't to say I don't jump him every now and then , you haters, Skeet is H-O-T-T), but it's this amazing warmth and closeness that we don't work at, and a lot of communication which we do work on. I love him like I do my family (not filial), but that imperfect, permanent love you have for people that you can eventually forgive for all the petty things, and I think that's what made the whole concept of marriage okay for me. There is nothing he can do to make me not love him, and I know he feels the same, although at times I'm sure he'll tick me off, as I will him. I don't know if that makes us soulmates, but it is different than what I was taught from movies and TV (My parents marriage was no example).
I hate to agree with Totem, but there is nothing truer than his statement about the time you invest in the other person being returned to you through the strength of your bond.
