This week's question comes from Amanda:
"Hi O&M,
I’ve been a huge fan for many years, way back when you would host your Love On Purpose Revolution event. I have enjoyed seeing you two interact with each other. You give me hope that I can one day have what you have – a soul partnership.
I’m 47 years old and I haven’t been in a relationship for some time, could be over a decade since my last serious relationship. My friends tell me that I’m a catch, that my guy will find me and there is nothing that I need 'to do.'
What are your thoughts on this?
I am at a place in my life where I really value myself, I am confident, capable, and it’s not that I need a

Craving what you can’t have?
This week's question comes from Bridget:
"Hi Orna and Matthew,
I hear you when you say that I am the common denominator in all of my relationships. I understand that like attracts like so that there must be something inside of me that is off because I only seem to be attracted to men I can’t have.
I know that I’m attractive and I have no problem getting dates – it’s just that the guys who like me and want a relationship with me, I’m not very interested in.
Then I meet a guy who I think is HOT – and inevitably, he is unavailable.
Why do I only want what I cannot have? How do I change whatever it is so I can settle down and start a family?
Please

What about my freedom?
This week's question comes from Olivia:
"Hi Orna and Matthew,
I don’t think I fit into your usual advice seekers. I’m an independent woman who has travelled and worked around the world. I’ve never had a problem meeting men and have had many wonderful lovers. The problem is they fall in love with me and I don’t initially start out thinking I will break their hearts, but inevitably I do.
I do want to find my soulmate, but it seems impossible to find a man who has the freedom to travel the world with me and who I want to marry.
Can I keep my freedom and find my “One?” I don’t know. It doesn’t seem possible to me. I’ve met some wonderful men who were perfect at

Meant to Be?
This week's question comes from Tarryn:
Dear Orna and Mathew.
I have a question if you don't mind. All these techniques, internal work, etc. are great and I truly follow it and try to practice this work. However if you're with the wrong partner (for instance if I'm with a boyfriend who isn't my match/soulmate) then I could do all the internal work in the world and we still wouldn't be able to have that soulmate/relationship we want correct?
It just frustrates me that this work is incredibly great but it really wouldn't make a difference if you're with the wrong person for you? Would love to hear your opinions. For instance, even if you would have done all this

When do you say no more?
This week's question comes from Tina:
Hello Orna and Matthew
I am in a 7-year relationship. When we met I was very busy with a new business and to be honest I was not attracted to him. He was persistent and so kind to me. Slowly his kindness started to allure me. The first time he held my hand I felt irritated then I felt I didn't really want him to let my hand go. My attraction to him grew in a way I was not familiar with. I so loved the way he adored me, and there was something I had never experienced, an aroma that I was so drawn to. I wanted to be so close to him.
This has been 7 years of pure confusion. Within a year the man that adored me, started

Should I leave?
This week's question comes from Confused:
Hi Orna and Matthew, I have a question and would really appreciate some insight. I have been with my partner for three years now. During this time we have broken up a few times for up to 1 month. We were both miserable during the break ups and ended up talking about our issues and getting back together. BUT nothing really changes. We have the same issue again a few months later. My partner has been married before for 7 years and she left him. He is older than me at 39 and I am 31. The issue has always been around commitment. I know he loves me and he spends all of his free time with me. He is a great boyfriend in the sense
