A kindred spirit is someone who feels and thinks the way you do.

Have you ever had one of these relationships? I think they are awesome.:smile:

I sometimes scare myself too. But I do think it is a very good idea to have some kindred spirit with your partner/mate. It makes growth in the relationship quicker. Fewer things to argue about, and you don't get the feeling you are wasting your time.

I'm with SilentlyScreaming on this. While I think it's important that people share certain core values, if a relationship is going to have flavor after a year, five years, 20 years, etc., there needs to be enough differences to make the journey together interesting and fresh. Thinking alike and feeling the same about everything may sound like the golden ticket to lasting happiness, but I'm afraid that the adage "familiarity breeds contempt" will kick in very quickly if there's so little distinction between one and his/her partner.

The chance that they will always think like
you is infinitesimally small.

So, I would always choose someone who thinks.
Over someone who thinks as I do.

"Eeboo nack flee boo flobin'."

That may not make much sense to anyone, but once the enchanted princess reads it, the spell shall be broken! indifferent
