I just viewed this movie at our Church Movie night this evening, and I was moved enough to want to purchase it for several of my friends and for my Sisters Singles Ministries, it addressed several questions I'd been asking God about, regarding marriage and or living single if that wasn't in his plan. I felt God speaking to me as I watched, its a movie all young women and men should see, especially females it was nice to see all the aspects of the living single issue told by women of different ages and professions. I tuly learned a lot and left feeling secure in some decisions I had been wresling with.

I didn't read the fine print...lol because I thought this was a movie, but it is a Documentary!

Now, it turns out that it is very intresting because it is not just talking about being single but about success, sex, children, feelings, marriage after 40, children, life, pain by real women some known and unkown in their own words.

Bottom line if you are single and over 30 you may appreciate this documentary and how these women feel and what they are going through as they explain their different journeys.

First of all this is not a movie. It's a documentary about single peoples view on being single and those who openly speak about their need to want to get married. It is well put together. I definitely recommend getting this.

I was introduced to the SOULMATE dvd this past Wednesday during bible study. The Pastor showed it to all the single women and men of the church and truly, it was an amazing experience. Even life altering. SOULMATE seeks to peel back the layers of dishonesty that shroud many single Christian women and gives you a peek into their real thoughts and desires for a husband. I found the dvd to be filled with practical solutions and each of the participants who speak, with particular mention of actress/comedian Sherri Shepard, entralled me and taught me things I never knew about myself. There are also very uncomfortable statistics that will open your eyes to the truth of our world and, hopefully, inspire you to act differently and seek God.

HOWEVER, there is one caveat that stops me from giving this dvd a full 5 stars. SOULMATE is geared toward two groups of Christian women: single-no-kids, and married. For those who are single WITH Children, there is precious little to guide you. Single mothers deal with many of the same issues that married women do, except that they do it completely alone, with no help. That isn't addressed. But it should be. Particularly as the statistics given state that 70% of all African-American children are born into single parent households. It would be helpful if they'd acknowledge that with more information, in much the way Feona Huff of Solo Mommy Magazine does. In any case, the dvd is still a must have and perfect to share with your friends who don't realize that, in searching for a husband, they are searching for something seemingly more elusive than the Loch Ness Monster.

Soulmate is an insightful video. It address many of the issues facing single (and married) Christian women of all ages but, especially women of maturity. Those who have been in the struggle for a while. Those who have had life experiences. There is a strong message to be learned without being preached to. This video will become part of our women's bible study.

I have purchased several copies of this video and I always keep two copies on hand. I love the Lord and I am celibate according to His Word of presenting my body as a "living sacrifice". I share this with mature friends who are embracing the same reality with God in their lives, and also, young ladies at my church who may experience peer pressure in highschool, or college. It's just a wonderful way to let others know that they are not alone in trying to live a life for Christ. It also allows black women to understand that being smart, educated and powerful doesn't mean that you have to succumb to not being feminine and allowing a man in your life. A man of God will love you and help you remain true to the Word of God, not try to persuade you againist it. You are God's glory and should carry yourself in that way. God will bless you with someone who is equally yoked with you and your beliefs, or God's mandate rather. Don't give up. God is faithful and will reward your faithfulness. I am still waiting and I do live a very, fulfilled life in Him. Great friends, great career, and awesome God! God created man and woman to be together to glorify Him, as they prosper together in this world. As couples, all races, we have a mission to live according to the Word of God to show the world that there is truth, peace, prosperity, and a reality in serving a true and living God. God bless everyone! Love you and stay encouraged:)

I rented this DVD from a video store, thinking it was a drama genre. Turns out it was a documentary but I enjoyed the stories of all of the women. Many experiences were said that I can definately relate to.

I enjoyed this documentary. I could relate to a lot of what was being said. I Also feel that the issues addressed relate to more than just single black christian females. I would suggest it for all singles.

This DVD engages in transparent dialogue about the metamorphosis experienced in the season of singleness. I recommend that single sisters throw a "Girlfriend's" party to view, discuss and affirm each other. It is packed with food for thought and nuggets of truth. I loved it!!!!

THIS IS NOT A MOVIE. It is a documentary about why African American women are not getting married, how they cope with it and deals with the primace that the more educated an African American woman, the less likely she is to get married. The women in the documentary are BEAUTIFUL and successful. Women are going to have to exercise their options with other races and cultures (except Africans). It also talks about the lack of unavailable/ overlooked black men.
