Then, when they angered the Gods, they were cut in half. Since then, every person has been searching for their soul mate, the other half of his or her self.Plato believed that the soul was separate from the body. He believed we must recognize that the soul does not depend on the body for its functioning. In addition, Plato said that our souls existed before our bodies.Plato's idea that there is a soulmate somewhere for everyone keeps us forever searching for love. We are taught from the very beginning that love is real, are soulmates exist somewhere, and ultimately we will find them.Perhaps many couples stay together because of Plato's idea of being soulmates.

By getting a divorce, The couple not only has to admit defeat (失败) to themselves, but also break their promise(违背诺言). They have to admit that the person they married is not their soul mate.
