Soul Mate Code

The existence of soul mates is something my husband and I have disagreed about for years. He totally believed it while I was skeptical. However, he changed my mind today and I want to share his theory. It's all his.

I always thought it was silly to think that only one person was the only one that could truly be my soul mate. I mean, what if they live on the other side of the world? My theory used to be that potential rate might have more of a soul mate rating just like a grade on a test. So maybe one person does blow the curve and get a 100, but what about the ones who get a 90 or even an 85? Isn't that still pretty good? And if you meant Mr. or Mrs. 100 later, wouldn't you know it?

Note: he's a math guy. He puts forth that we all only have one person that is "the one." That person represents a 1. Everyone else is a 0. So, you might have to go through a lot of 00000000000000000 to get to the 1. My binary code is 0000000000001. But what if you miss your soul mate? Then it's = ...000010000... or something like that.

Now here's the kicker. If you end up marrying a 0, what do you do? My husband thinks you should stick with it. A good marriage can still be formed without your 1 soul mate. So, you can work up to a 1/2. So, if you do find the one and you don't work at your marriage, you could still go down to a 1/2. So, the general idea is that finding your soul mate is only half the work. The only way to get to the 1 though is to find him or her and commit to your marriage.

Maybe it's a little strange, but it makes sense. I love my math nerd.
