Remember there's no such thing as 'The One'

Couples therapist Esther Perel doesn't believe in the concept of soul mates, per se.

She previously told Business Insider that there are a lot of people you could potentially be happy with. Once you pick someone, you convince yourself they're "the one" for you — and craft your relationship into something special.

Here's Perel:

"There is never 'The One.' There is a one that you choose and with whom you decide that you want to build something. But in my opinion, there could also have been others — you just chose this one. And when you choose one, you renounce others. … Then you decide that because you've chosen that person, you turn that person into The One."
