In this episode of "Dear Soul Mate," Jonathan Cruz reads a deeply romantic letter written during his incarceration, where he explores the mysteries of perfect love and eternal connection. But before diving into the letter, Jonathan offers hard-earned wisdom about relationships that came with age and experience. He reflects on how his understanding of love evolved from the fantasy-driven perspective of a 21-year-old with limited relationship experience to a more mature understanding of what real partnership requires. Jonathan discusses the difference between compatibility and the actual work relationships demand, and shares insights on true leadership in relationships—moving from dictating and demanding to leading with trust, respect, and genuine care. This episode beautifully contrasts youthful romantic idealism with mature relationship wisdom, showing how even our deepest beliefs about soulmates can grow more nuanced and practical over time. A powerful reminder that love, even soul-deep love, requires both feeling and skill.
