The definitions of a “soulmate” and a “life partner” are often seen as the same thing, but this is mostly a misconception.
Here are ways that will help you identify. First let us see what defines the two.
Soulmate is aligned with your soul and is sent to challenge, awaken and stir different parts of you, for your soul to transcend to a higher level of consciousness and awareness. Once the lesson has been learnt, physical separation usually occurs. Life Partner is a friend, a companion, a stable and secure individual who you can lean on, trust and depend on to help you through life. There is a mutual feeling of love and respect and you are both in sync with each other’s needs and wants. Soulmates can get in the mind of their partner and understand what they're thinking. Life partners are less psychic and more along the lines of best friends. Soulmates have a deep connection through heart and consciousness. Life partners arrive at a moment when there is self-love and acceptance. Soulmates feel as if you have known each other forever. You understand each other and have similar ways of thinking. Life partners come from different paths and backgrounds. The differences enhance the emotional connection. You want to know more and learn from each other. Soulmates make sure you go for your dreams no matter what they are, and they will do anything in their power to help you get there. Life partners want you to go for your dreams and your goals. They are encouraging and want to see you happy. Soulmates realize that their relationship may not last forever, or even for very long, but they know that the love is there. Life partners want to cement their relationship by beginning a family or getting married to make it permanent.Also Read:
