Synopsis
Moore explores how relationships of all kinds-with their difficulties-deepen our lives and help fulfill the need of the soul. Unlike many books that are concerned with making relationships work better, Soul Mates shows how the need to love and to connect with others leads inevitably not only into intimacy but also into many kinds of difficulty and even failure. But the book emphasizes that if we are willing to live through these difficulties, life is enriched and the soul thrives.
