Intro: Walk through the last two weeks:
In week 1, we discussed that a great single life exists In week 2, we discussed that a great married life exists
This week will be a little different in that we want to take a look at some common questions that we get about relationships and try to give some practical answers.
Do I really have a soul mate?
It is a popular idea in our culture that a person is not ''complete'' until they get married to their soul mate. People buy into this all time and it seems that it starts out very early in life, which usually sets up unrealistic expectations of their spouse.

And then if we fast-forward to the end of the movie, Tom Cruise runs into this living room where there are all these really bitter, angry women. He throws down his bags and says, ''I'm good in the living room. They used to always send me into the living room. I could go into the living room and close the deal, so let's just do this. Tonight was a very big night for our little experiment. Tonight was a very big night for our little company, but it wasn't nearly as good as it could have been. It wasn't nearly what it could have been because you weren't there. You complete me.'' And Renée was choking back the tears going, ''Shut up. You shut up. You had me at 'Hello.''' And everybody was like, ''Aw, that's so sweet!''
Really? That just doesn't seem realistic. Since it's easy for me to be selfish (and sinful), there's no way that I can meet all of Jenny's needs, dreams and expectations. No one can complete ...
