RE: Significant others: Why you should focus on finding your tribe, rather than the one
I found my soulmate when I was 17. Every female friend I have had has fallen by the wayside except one. I do not need a tribe, I need people I can count on and if two is all I get this lifetime, then I am double blessed. I have a big circle of "friendly acquaintances" but at this point in my life - 40 years married - I do not even want shallow relationships wasting my precious time with my soulmate.
So true...I agree. I met my wife when I was 17.5 and we have been strong since...32 years (26 married).

Agreed. a lot of the people you meet are shallow and just "friendly acquaintances" as you said, which is a shame. But then, there are those two or three or seven or one, however many real connections you make in life and those are worth going through the shallow and sorting out what's important and what's not, in my opinion. :)
Lucky you for finding your soulmate and so young, that's amazing! I'm really happy for ya :)
Definitely some luck, but also we both took our vows seriously. It has not been all sunshine and roses, we just never made quitting an option. I often wonder if the divorce rate would drop if we went ahead and went teens in "puppy love" get married and then SUPPORTED them, and HELPED them make it work, rather than encourage everyone to throw in the towel the first time they get into problems.
