There is no human connection like that of a soulmate, it is a closeness and openness that we will never find in another soul. Soulmates are two souls meant to be, they compliment one another in ways other can't, they are the other half of who we are.
Our soulmates allow us to be who we truly are, without compromise or sacrifice, apart from our children the soulmate connection is one of the most important connections we will ever have in our lifetime.
First let's start with the misconceptions, these are the things we get wrong when it comes to the role of a soulmate in our lives.
Misconceptions.
Your soulmate is your partner not your leader.
I often see people in relationships with their soulmates that look to their partners for leadership and choose to play a tag along role, soulmates are partners, not our leaders.
Your soulmate is your life journey partner, not your assistant.
I see many relationships where there is a dominate partner, who often makes the other feel more like an assistant helper rather than a equal partner, this creates imbalance.
Your soulmate is not there to make your life better.
So many people see a soulmate as someone who is going to change their lives and make everything better, but this is not the case, it will only lead to disappointment.
Your soulmate is there to be a part of your life, not the center of your life.
There are some partners who completely let go of who they truly are as a person for their soulmate as if they are making an honorable sacrifice, but this only leads to feelings of resentment.
Having your soulmate in your life does not mean you are going to float away and live happily ever after, things can go wrong, these are to most common reasons.
