Posted on January 31, 2016 by Sarah Phillips, One of Thousands of Life Coaches on Noomii.

1. In order to recognize your soul mate, you must first know yourself.
2. Soul mate marriages are well balanced, strong, and positive. There is a lack of intimidation, manipulation, or abuse. Each person makes the other person feel safe.
3. A relationship with a soul mate is a natural fit and feels like it is meant to be. This type of marriage is not overly difficult to maintain.
4. A soul mate partner feels like a mirror to their spouse.
5. A marriage to a soul mate is filled with honesty and support.
6. There is a sense of familiarity and mutuality to a soul mate.
7. These marriages are healthy, passionate, and harmonious. They can easily get a lot done by working together.
8. Couples who are soul mates often take joy in watching the growth of each other.
9. A soul mate will accept who you are, will bring out the best in you, and is your best friend. A soul mate will not require you to change, but will contribute to your growth.
10. Soul mates relish small moments together and cherish their commitment to the marriage.

Tips for a soul mate marriage:

1. Be wary of looking for a mate who is ideal and who feels and thinks exactly the way you do. No one can live up to that kind of standard. Soul mates don’t have to agree on everything. Take a Jungian personality type quiz, such as the Myers­ Briggs Type Indicator, to compare your personality styles.
2. Don’t use the soul mate concept as an excuse to walk away from your commitment to your marriage.
3. Remember you will still have difficult times even when married to your soul mate.
