Recently, a well known artiste got married and the newspaper headline screamed "...... Found His Soulmate At Last". It got me thinking about the misleading usage of the word.
My Macmillan English Dictionary defines soulmate as someone who you have a special relationship with because you share the same feelings, attitudes, and beliefs. For example a political or philosophical soulmate.
A soulmate can be of the same gender or opposite. Having said that, your spouse may or may not be a soulmate (can be a nightmare sometimes). Although, ideally, a spouse should be your soulmate.
