Soul mate. The term refers to a deeply intimate and profound connection between two individuals, characterized by an inexplicable sense of compatibility, understanding, and unity. A soul mate is believed to be someone with whom one shares a unique bond that goes beyond physical attraction or superficial qualities, encompassing a profound emotional, mental, and spiritual connection. This extraordinary bond is a meeting of two souls that feel complete, complementing each other in ways that bring joy, growth, and a profound sense of belonging to both individuals involved. Soul mates will offer unwavering support, unconditional love, and a profound understanding transcending time and circumstances.
The dictionary offers this one-sentence definition: “A person with whom one has a strong affinity, shared values and tastes, and often a romantic bond.”
Fleeting relationships come and go. But there’s nothing quite like being intertwined with that special someone who leaves an everlasting imprint on your soul. Everyone wants to find a soul mate, and many people chase after it endlessly. But how can you tell which relationships will truly make a soulful impact in your life? And is there only ONE potential soul mate for you out there?
Many people believe that we don’t choose our partners. In fact, they think that destiny puts us together. Whether that’s true or not, it’s important to know if the person you’re in a relationship with truly has the potential to warm your heart forever. Watch for these ten signs to gain a clearer vision when seeking your soul mate.
10 Signs You’ve Found Your Soul Mate
1. Your soul mate is loyal
Loyalty is an essential quality of any close relationship, and you should definitely be able to check this off the list when seeking your soul mate. Having a strong assurance that they will be there for you in all times is a must.
Your soul mate will also be willing to remain by your side, even when you aren’t in a “season of harvest.” When you finally connect with the right person, a union goes far beyond any superficial situation.
2. Your soul mate is supportive
Support from your significant other is vital, and a soul mate should be able to provide this at all times, in all situations. Your soul mate will help uplift you, will stay aware of your emotions, and help pick you up when you’re feeling down.
Of all people, the person who touches your soul will know your vulnerabilities, and much like the ancient art of Kintsugi, your soul mate will help fill your cracks and make you stronger than ever.
3. Your soul mate has similar morals and values
In the “talking” phase of your relationship, you probably talked to your partner about your hobbies, interests, favorite memories from childhood, and what your family is like. Sharing these things with your partner helps them get to know a little bit about you as a person and likely sets the stage for a second date.
Somewhere down the road, you probably wanted to know them deeper and understand their core values and morals. If both of you have very different interests and hobbies but connect on a deeper, spiritual level, you will have a higher chance of making a lasting connection than two people who have no core values in common. In other words, how you choose to live your life should match how your partner lives theirs. If both of you have the same outlook on how to handle finances, how to raise children, where to live, have similar spiritual practices, and have the same general outlook on life, you will probably be able to maintain the relationship in the long-term.
The main point is that hobbies and interests change, while core values and beliefs usually don’t. According to a study by researchers at Michigan State University, having these in common is key to making relationships last.
4. Your soul mate sparks passion in you
When someone inspires you to bring out your best self and create from your heart, there’s a good chance they could be a soul mate. This person will not suppress or distract you from your inner desires but rather act as a catalyst to help you propel into the life you’ve always dreamed of.
You and your soul mate have the potential to become the best versions of your own selves. Indeed you are giving way to growth that you’ve only imagined. They know the importance of seeing you fully live (not just exist) as your best self and will take the positive steps necessary to help you see your passion come to life.
5. You communicate comfortably with your soul mate
You can be confident that you may have found a soul mate when your words towards each other are kind and loving (more often than not). Of course, you’ll have your ups and downs. But if kind communication is consistent, you have a winning formula. You also know you can tell your partner ANYTHING without judgment or criticism.
Likewise, you can be honest and expect understanding and love. If you feel like you cannot be open and honest, even during a moment of “human error”, that’s a sign of someone who may not match the energy of your soul.
6. Your soul mate knows how to make you feel special
We all have our version of what we like when it comes to being loved, and your soul mate will learn to hone in on exactly what that is, making sure to love you in this way regularly. It can be as simple as a cup of coffee in the morning or a love note left on the table. Whatever makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside, your soul mate will always aim to please you.
Of course, we’re not referring to making someone a slave for love, but rather letting them know what you like and seeing them make conscious efforts to deliver that to you.
7. Your partner truly appreciates your affection
In the right relationship, it’s essential to make all the non-physical connections such as comfortable communication, similar interests, etc., but there’s no denying the powerful energy produced when you physically connect with your soul mate. Just a single touch from that special someone can send chills through your body, and your soul mate is the one type of person who seeks to give and receive that feeling from you consistently.
Your soul mate will NOT simply “get what they want and be done with you”, but rather enjoy every moment of passion with you – every step leading up to it and every step leading down from it.
8. Your soul mate (always) thinks you’re irresistible
The person who makes you blush, no matter what time of day or year, is surely a soul mate in the making. A soul mate type of relationship is one that looks past imperfections, messy hair, wrinkles, and little behaviors that may be considered “less than savory” by others.
Even when you don’t necessarily see your radiance, your soul mate will. Your special someone doesn’t need to see you in your best dress to be enamored by your beauty.
9. Your special someone makes you feel safe
Nowadays, everywhere we turn, we are exposed to shock. The news, social drama, and so many other situations send out negative energy that can leave you feeling separated and scared.
When these events occur, your soul mate will know how to greet you with open, tender arms that make you feel completely safe and secure. They will work to flood you with positive energy, eliminating the negative vibes that can potentially separate you from your happiest self.
10. Your Soul Mate is trustworthy
There are so many negative temptations that life has to offer. So it’s no wonder why breakups and divorce rates are at an all-time high. It can be hard to stay confident that “The One” can be trusted. However, trust is a must. And finding your very special someone requires you to open up to an even higher level of trust.
These high levels of trust may seem high-risk for you. However, rest assured that your soul mate will not abuse the freedoms of your relationship. And, they will show an equal level of trust and openness. Finally, that all comes without trying to “keep up” with your level of effort.

Nice article, though I’m still confused on the difference between what seems like a soul mate and just a healthy partner/relationship? I don’t really know how to tell if my heart and my soul are giving me the same or different messages. I guess the soul is harder to pin down, though any insights on that would be helpful!
1.its more than any connection or passion I have ever felt with anyone.
2its more than that its knowing some deeply, maybe not their fav. Color ,or cookies,(choc chip?) but you know them.
3 they get you, your quirky humor, your sad days,you
4 no one I mean know one makes you feel like your mate, on every level. Even if they may be shy. To look into their eyes, time the world melts away the same as your mates kisses, just their presence can be felt even before you see them you can sense them.
5. It is actually an experience no words can describe.
6 .once you and your soul mate have connected not just psychically.physically,spiritually emotionally. There is no one else that will ever give to you the desire,love, trust the heart, your soul mate fills the empty spaces inside
I agree with most of this
I just got married in September to my soul mate he and I are 1- 10 perfect soul mates
I haven't
I know for sure I married my soulmate. If it's more than 3hrs.I already miss him, even when hrs here with me I miss him before he's gone, we are so connected we finish each other's thoughts, we are always able to talk about anything , theres no one in the world I'd rather be with for the rest of my life, lastly I feel like there's never enough time left to be with him. Wish I met him years ago. I spent over 10 years with a person that I knew was never my soulmate for the sake of the children not me. It was wasted time, he treated me like dirt and cheated all the time, I foolishly thought he would change. Again wasted energy, hope, and my time.
When I first saw him it was pretty close to love at first sight. I just wanted to know him. He felt the same to me, was powerfully drawn to me. We became good friends, then best friends for a year and a half before making our relationship "official". I like that we have so much history and varying shades of involvement over the years. This month it's been five years since we came into each other's lives and somehow it still feels new. We still thank God for each other every day. Honestly, I don't know how I ever lived without him. I look back on my life before him and see so much loneliness and pain. And somehow I know, on some level, he was there. He was always there in my future waiting for me. We felt fated, that we were predestined to be together and it wasn't really up to us. Had we met sooner, I know both of our early twenties would have been a lot better, healthier, with a lot less loneliness and desperate longing to be loved. *sigh* Would have been nice but I am just so thankful to be with him now. <3
*accept 🙂
Ive finally found mine at the age of 53 imagine that but I never had anyone that has truly loved and cared for me until now and I thank God everyday for him I realky thought that it would never happen to me
Your soulmate will make you feel like you've fallen in love for the first time all over again.
When I was a little girl I truly believed that there was someone out there for me. I'm 35 now. Still single. What I've learned is that there will never be a perfect person for me. I need to be okay with ME first. Having another person in my life is just a bonus….and maybe, just maybe this has a lot to do with me not excepting myself. Beautiful article.
Just found mine at 41
I have been married to my soul mate and I have felt all of the above from the very beginning. It is an awesome feeling that I truly wish everyone could have in their life. I have been blessed for over 40 years
Realizes that love is a commitment and not just a feeling…Accepts you just as you are and doesn't force or expects you to change…Realizes that the little things done are just as special as the big things.
Love that!
i think i found my soulmate and i let him go…
I think the point is that you cannot be "taught how to be a soulmate" , you just are.
Now I have the evidence and the guide to help me find my soul mate. Thanks
It's like my husband and I say to each other a lot: We don't do very well when we're apart. 10 years and we still give each other butterflies from time to time. I still don't know how I managed to find my soulmate but I'm very thankful that we found each other 🙂
I haven't found him yet, but you have taught me how to be a soulmate and what to look for. Thank you.
You are just a bit less of your "real self" whenever you're apart…
I finally found my soul mate it took a long time
I would like to think I found my soul mate.
Farzana Bashir I was 58 years old before I found my soul mate. He was worth the wait. I agree with Hugh. Don't pay attention to what others say.
I have never met a soul mate and as I get older I think maybe I won't. I think I was blessed because I met the most horrible person and with him produced the two little girls who fill my soul with every ounce of love and tenderness that are available.
I have found mine always knew i ws lucky i did & franzana ur not too old i didnt find mine till i wS 30
I had a soul mate, from mid 1995 until early 1997 when he died in my arms. His love for me changed my life forever, and even with such a short time together, I KNOW without a doubt he was my soul mate and we were meant to be together for that time. I would have committed suicide had he not walked into my world, and I am now a reasonably successful, contented person, having never once returned to the lifestyle of self destruction I lived before him. Haven't found that love again, but I'm okay with that.
Shannon Wright Really very beautiful and true thought …..
Farzana Bashir age is just a number………just believe in yourself…….n let the magic began…..
I've been single for more than two years; she's been single for more than three. And we feel like we were past souls in love, that we will always find eachother. Im glad i found her now. I went through dark times that left me feeling empty, BUT i kept my hope knowing that that sorrow was not the end…. and she came into ny life, slowly then all at once. I am so grateful, i am so in love. Soul mates exist.
I was 42 when I met my soul mate . When you least expect it it will happen
I wish I can find my soul mate before I die and just be happy a least once in my life, I have faith.
Interesting and I agree..
Beautiful!
At 38 you are so ready to find a soul mate, just pray and wait upon the Lord, Because it will all happen in His time and you will reap the greatness of such a wonderful relationship. Never lessen to negative people where your life is concerned, Lessen to your inner self.
Don't be insecure, learn that first you have to be happy, before anyone can see your values or the core of your values..Remember to have a Soul Mate is God's gift To Each of Us..
I think i found my soul mate we met on Facebook and we have so much in common i love him so much and i know he loves me.
I did not know how truly blessed my life has been. I was a single mother for so long. Every time I went on a date, which was extremely rare, I would be filled with anxiety. Then. I met him. There was no anxiety. A strong passion. Everything on the list. Since that fateful day, we have been together 23 years
SOUL MATE is like in my dreaming of my future companionship in life. In dreaming it is very exciting to have i dreaming to be love of my dream partner. But it is obvious to find it in millions miles away from me. It is okay to dream it . Because in reality situation it is hard to find a BRILLIANT And have a beautiful eyes with a tantalizing eyes because we are born to be awesome not be perfect . Thank You
Hugh Jones —At 70? Maybe for men, but definitely not for women. I am not being negative, just realistic.
I can say that I met my soulmate when I was 15. We weren't ready for a long term relationship but God did bring us back together 27 years later. We have been blissfully happy with our relationship. Every couple has their arguments but if you're soulmates you trust in that everything will work out!!!
My soulmate corrects me if i'm wrong without disrespect and proves me wrong in the most lovely and kind ways with actual proof, not with words out of his mouth. Then we continue our beautiful lifely ideas together. Great minds think different not alike.
I thought I had a soul mate but seems it's a different story now. Breaks my heart
Farzana Bashir It's never too late. 38 isn't old. You can find your soul mate when you're 70 if you want! 🙂 38 would be better. Nevermind what people *say*, your life is up to you.
You explained it perfectly
Shannon Wright I am 38 and ppl say i am too old to find my soul mate now
In that case I think I have found my soul mate too. <3 lolz
It is so realistic when it comes to my love situation. When there are factors that hold both soul mates from being together meanwhile we let time influence we should never let distance and silence come in between that strong relationship. It is always doing the correct of things… Unfortunately factors will always exist. It is love and support that will make everything last. I hope my love life becomes healed in time because it is very true. You can see it in their eyes and feel it in their heart pound in yours. ~_~
I think I have found my soulmate…majority of the signs are there. It's just so sad that we are million miles away from each other and it seems impossible to be together physically. I have tried my best to be with him but it seems fate is not letting. I am still hopeful though, i feel that we really belong together and that someday we will be together…In God's own time.
Lucky…you came to my life.
It's never too late to choose again and to choose not to settle. Loving yourself is the key ? You are worthy!
It pains to say that one is yet to meet their soulmate when already married to someone.
I feel all of the above. We just got married on oyr 20th "anniversary". There is noone in this world that makes me feel like he does. I can honestly say that we blurt out random words or thoughts at the same time. Random being key here. It's spooky sometimes but we just look at each other and say "eeyup".
I've never had a soul mate. No one has ever cared that much. Been married 38 years but I can't say I've even come close to a soulmate. Gets lonely sometimes. Everyone needs to feel safe and loved. Oh well, enough of that.
I m lucky
I've not met my soul mate yet this lifetime, I know that as I've not had all 10 experiences as listed above, I will know when I meet my soul mate coz my soul will react in a way I've never experienced before.
You would sense something really special while looking at your soul mate's eyes! Kind of feeling that nothing else would matter to you at that moment, but just his/her eyes entwined with yours. Also, you wouldn't feel intense attraction on their external beauty; the unabated count of feelings you would have on them ain't explainable to rest of the people. Only you and your soul mate would understand how powerful it would be.
