This week's question comes from Jody:
“Dear Orna and Matthew,
What should I look for in a true soul partner?
I’ve been around the block a few times, still single over 50 and never married. I’ve been engaged and I tried to make that work out but it didn’t and when/if I ever do get married I want to do that only once.
I do want to share my life with someone and I think I know what I want, but maybe my focus is on the wrong things. You two are a shining example of what I desire. The love

Why Are Soulmate Relationships So Intense?
Why are soulmate relationships so intense? Thanks to how Elizabeth Gilbert described soulmates in her mega-bestseller “Eat, Pray, Love,” a lot of people are afraid to meet their soulmate.

This week's question comes from Anita:
“Hi Orna and Matthew,
Why do men have blind spots for a woman when they’re in love, but otherwise want a perfect woman? I met a great man and for the first few months everything was great. He was so romantic and always gave me compliments on my appearance. He seemed to love and accept me.
