Even otherwise, it is very difficult for even a genuine relationship to survive the madness of this world.
I believe it is all due to the immature emotional worlds that humans have. Immature and overtaken by negative feelings and selfishness.
I believe eternal soulmates exist. I believe multiple eternal soulmates also exist...but I feel soulmates will come into a human's life (to stay, once and for all) only after his/her emotional world matures.
Immature (and often selfish and negative) human beings cannot fall into long lasting relationships. So, even if one meets an eternal-soulmate-to-be, the relationship will not last.
But I believe they will meet again, in some other lifetime, when both are ready...and this time it will be eternal**.
By "ready" I mean people who are serious, unselfish, patient, and comfortable with their dark side.
Unselfish at least with the person they claim they love.
I believe that the presence of REAL romantic love can defeat death and turn people into eternal beings.

Update:
At the beginning of this blog entry, I wrote that most humans have relationships that have very little substance in them. I'd like to elaborate on that here...i.e the *substance*.In her blog 'The Art Of Intimacy', Jennifer Jones writes "Love is what we do". The complete text of this post can be found here: Love is something that we do.
This makes sense. Because talk is easy...it's the actions that matter. I always found the phrase 'I love you' very corny, and people who use it at the drop of a hat, odd.
Feeling love and allowing it to translate into actions are two different things....real love ALWAYS brings with it real action. Or at least the pure, genuine intention of real action.
Without effort/action, or without the genuine intention of real action, it is not love.
Question:What about goddess worship? Should I not worship the goddess, who is prior to everything, including my soulmate?
Ans: Your soulmate is nothing but the infinite reaching out to you, in a form that melts you...and makes you FEEL life to its proper depths...instilling in you all the qualities that make you a human she can admire.
Your soulmate is your personal goddess. Make no mistake - She IS a real goddess by virtue of her influence over you. She is the infinite one, the one prior to all else, prior even to manifestation.
She is your cosmic mother. And when you are with her, you find yourself saying "I am home!".
