Soulmates: some of us believe in them and others think they're a complete farce. For one West Monroe, Louisiana, couple, there was no questioning what they assumed.
Dennis Hensley met a woman named Rhonda and they hit it off right away. The couple experienced a connection unlike any other.
In the video below, posted on February 14, 2017, Dennis explains, "There was a comfort level. it just seemed — seemed right."
Rhonda adds, "There was this kind of inner excitement, an inner feeling that anytime when something big in my life has come up, that same feeling is there. Like, this is important."
Dennis and Rhonda had only been on two dates together, when they decided to move things along a lot faster than most people would. The soulmates were going to get married.
After those two times getting to know each other, Dennis asked Rhonda to marry him. She said yes.
It may sound crazy, but the couple has been married for over 39 years since the sudden proposal. They share three kids, two grandchildren, and a ton of memories, all thanks to a quick decision.
Dennis, who is a minister, says, "I believe that God does put people together. I don't think he lines it out necessarily, but he allows people to come together."
Are all happily married couples meant to be?
Dr. Trent Langhofer, a marriage and family counselor, states, "Contrary perhaps to popular belief, I don't feel like there is a soul 'mate.' I feel like there's a soul 'made.'"
The counselor believes that two people's souls can mold for each other through courtship to become compatible. Although his belief differs from that of Dennis and Rhonda's, it doesn't seem like there is a right or wrong answer in this situation.
No matter what you believe, please SHARE this story if you're amazed by Dennis and Rhonda's early decision and admire their happy marriage.
