yea that's all probably true.
but i'm done breaking up with her.
it's hurt her too much and the thought of not being with her is actually a strange one.
so i'm sticking it out.

Hi, J4Jesus, awkward silences happen for at least 2 reasons.
1 reason is that you don't have enough in common to talk about the things you both like to do and are into.
2 reason why awkward silences happen is because there are things you would like to say to her that you are too afraid to say to her because you know that if you say them they will either, cause a ruckus, or will tell you a truth that you would rather not hear.
3 So both of you look at each other, wishing you had the courage to really say what is on your minds...
J4Jesus and girlfriend. What do you have in common?
As for your Topic question, Are Soulmates Biblical?, the Bible says to "not be unequally yoked", meaning at least be yoked with a bornagain Christian (one who believes that Jesus paid the penalty of death for their sins).
After that, things still depend how much you have in common. Does she like Jazz and loves to go the movies but you only like Christian music and no longer see value in movies? These are NOT compatible interests; it would be better for you to say that you would rather stay single than marry unto Jazz or movies if you by now despised both of those....but, what DID you have in common, J4Jesus?
I'd like to hear that.
Be blessed.

Hi, J4Jesus. You said:
I'm a Backslidden Christian.
Eden here:
No, you are not. If you believe that Jesus paid the penalty of death for your sins, then you are IN THE FAITH. That IS the faith, believing that Jesus died on your behalf, so that you don't have to die anymore.
That is the Godly gift. Jesus suffering and dying on the cross so that I don't have to pay the penaly of death for my sins anymore.
So tell me, do you accept Jesus as the Substitute Death for you so that you don't have to die anymore? If you say yes to that, then YOU ARE SAVED and WILL BE KEPT ALIVE AT HIS COMING.
Hi, J4Jesus, you also say:
...if we got married man, it would be terrible. But geez, we'd have to GET OVER them crazy Awkward Silences and junk first to even get married.
So with all that said, I have NO idea why it happened, but i Broke it off because i didn't know what else to do.
Eden here:
Awkward silences happen when there are UNSPOKEN things between you and her that you would LIKE to say to her but ARE AFRAID to address because yo know that if you say what you are REALLY THINKING, it will cause a ruckus, and perhaps even a truth that both of you have been avoiding admitting.
Awkward silences also happen when you don't have enough things in common. Like, what are we gonna talk about?!? I'm just wondering out loud...
Be blessed, J4Jesus and girlfriend.

IMHO
I don't find the concepts of soulmates (at least from the common usage of the term) Biblical. In fact I see the concept as something that is totally wrong. As Christians we should not be unequally yoked, so finding a good Christian to Date, Court, and mary is important. Further I think that finding someone you can talk to is important as well, not everyone is compatable, and in this day and age things get difficult. I also believe that a health relationship starts with prayer. I have always prayed before asking someone out, and then also would pray with her on the date that God guides our relationship. it is important to find someone you can grow in Christ with moreso than a "soulmate".
I think the concept of a soulmate has lead to higher rates of Divorce, because now somebody can say...I fell out of love with you, and that must mean we weren't soulmates afterall, and it is legitamized. Arranged marrages (I'm not advocating, just using and example)lasted for years, because they understood the covenant relationship, and that they would grow together.

Hi, J4Jesus:
I don't think it has anything to do with you being a "terrible backsliding Christian".
It takes time to find somebody who is a good match, who has many things in common with you, both naturally and spiritually.
The more things you have in common, the better the conversation will go too.
As to whether soulmates are Biblical, as long as you go out with someone who is saved, you still have to search through the Christian sisters to find the one that you have a lot of things in common with. That's the key: have a lot of things in common.
Be blessed.

Yea man are they true? Is that a true concept?
I will share this so it can add to the idea.
But i broke up with my Girlfriend. i don't feel like i'm a good boyfriend. I'm not as Outgoing as she is.
but man here's the clincher: AWKWARD SILENCES!! Holy junk dude, they never cease!!!
And i don't know why. I don't know where they come from but me and my ex could not go out to eat with each other and keep a GOOD conversation going, it was awkward man, so awkward.
Now THERE's them Normal reasons why a Couple breaks up, but here's another possibility:
Could God put a Stumbling Block in between us for her sake?
I'm a Backslidden Christian, if we got married man, it would be terrible. But geez, we'd have to GET OVER them crazy Awkward Silences and junk first to even get married.
So with all that said, I have NO idea why it happened, but i Broke it off because i didn't know what esle to do.
