Four different times in my life, I have run across someone that felt like a soulmate. Each time, me and the woman were blessed to have an experience together that left us with great memories… though I’m not still together with any of those women.

Even though we hit it off, and enjoyed the entire experience together, and still think highly of each other today… I realized something this week about those four special connections I was part of. I realized that three out of the four times, deep down I simply would not have been man enough to lead the relationship effectively long term. I still had some key learning and growing up to do.
