The Soulmate Manifesto:
Uniting All Soulmate Believers in an Effort to Solve Dating

The Evidence

Because most people, who are planning to marry or have been recently married, would claim that they have found their soulmates, the evidence would be biased. Therefore, we would want to look at studies of long-term marriages, those that have lasted more than 10 years. I have gathered all the long-term marriage studies and excluded all studies that did not report marital satisfaction and those that did not differentiate very happy from happy. The studies that were included are reported below.


Percent of Soulmate Couples = 8%
or
1 out of 13 of marriages that have lasted at least 15 years
