Stupid and typical, I know, but humor me for a second

Okay, so everyone knows that the whole obsession Faith has with soul mates and her wanting to find 'Damon Bradley' is part of the whole main plot of this movie...so my question is, do you guys think that soul mates really exist?

Perhaps this comes from insecurities or some type of emotional issue in my present state, but with today's divorce rates, could you blame someone for asking? I mean, I used to be such a heavy believer in romance and true love and such, but lately, I find myself to be apathetic and not believing so much in magic anymore. So, maybe what I'm really looking for is a re-affirmation for a type of faith that is slowly losing its burning embers. I mean, I know it's just a movie and I'm not stupid enough to believe that there is someone out there who was solely created just for me because we are all individuals with each of our own complexities and faults, but isn't it possible for two to still become one - whether it's through some mystified cosmic force or not? Thanks for taking the time to answer this and yeah, in a small way, despite some minor (and major) flaws, this movie did cheer me up a bit.

I want to believe there are soul mates but for sure, if you don't work on the relationship, it won't last.
I've been married for almost 17 years and it has had its ups and downs but I have learned that its a give and take, more give than take ha! and its a 2 people work not just all romance and dreamy as it happened to me as how and when we met.
My Grandma always told me when I was little that I was going to marry a blonde blue eye (not commun in my country) and I never care much, when I grew up darkhair brown eyes was my eye candy, I had my shares in the heart broken department and then bam! something weird happen, I got in an car accident, hurt my neck and had to stay at home for the weekend, bored I signed up in those new then, singles website amd next day I met someone, we talked for 3 months expecting nothing and talking about everything cause he was far, he wanted to meet and came 3,000 miles to meet me, when I was waiting at the airport and he came out of the doors, wearing what he had told me, to recognize him, my Grandma came to my mind, blond and blue eyed, I laughed. A year and a half later we were getting married and changed my world 180°. I thank God everyday, even in the not so good days, I still think how crazy my life turned out, I can't believe all the places I've been and all the things I've done thanks to him, I adore him. Maybe indeed we make our own destiny and our own souls to be the one
Don't lose faith
