What do you guys and gals think? Is there such a thing as a soulmate? Or is love merely circumstance?

Can circumstance force apart soulmates? Or is it that once you have found your soulmate, by virtue of being soulmates, you transcend all barriers?

In life can one trully be happy without the love of a mate?

Beyond the chemical and biological mechanisms of nature, does love exists? Is love of a higer dimension or just an illusion?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
