have similar values does not mean that you will necessarily
think and feel the same way about issues. You will be able to
respect your partner’s viewpoint and admire where he or she
is coming from.
One person could be a Democrat and the other a Republican.
Even though they have different approaches, they both value
a fair government for the people. But if one valued the tyranny
of dictatorship and the other valued democracy, there would
not be enough resonance to create soul chemistry.
The most common place people find their soul mate is at
their church, their synagogue, or some other place of worship.
This is because people of similar values will be drawn to a
particular spiritual institution. They are able to meet people
whose spiritual values resonate with their own.
Roberto felt chemistry with Lucia because their values res-
onated. Roberto, an engineer, said, “I met my wife, Lucia, at
church. We attended several classes together and eventually
went out. I noticed her right away, but as I got to know her I
fell in love with her. I think sharing the same faith made it
easier for us to accept and trust each other. We have so many
differences, but we do share the same beliefs about life and
family. I respected her values and I wanted her to be the
mother of my children. I feel so fortunate to have met her. I
think it was meant to be.”
Sharing values makes us compatible with someone. It helps
us to overcome the challenges that come with any relationship.
When we experience the inevitable ups and downs, we can
always get back up when deep in our souls we resonate with
the highest values of our partner. This compatibility allows us
to make compromises without giving up who we are or what
is important to us. By going to places where our values are
supported, we are also sure to meet our soul mate.
