This week, Jenna and Jenelle dive hard into the topic of the illusive “soulmate”.  They talk about the main types of soulmates (YES, there are more than one), and how you will know when you have encountered one.  They also discuss their opinions on the notion of “the one”.  Jenna and Jenelle will also debate the ideology that divorce (or the end of a relationship) means the relationship “was a failure” and how women (and men) should get comfortable acknowledging that they are “intimate partners” with their friends.
