They bring out the best in you, not the worst. You and your partner are both happy with your true selves, and together you make each other even happier. He or she is the one that makes you better, the one that allows you to be your true self and to feel comfortable in a way you probably felt only when you were a small child.
This soul mate lets you be you and helps you be your most authentic self. The third type is a platonic friend with whom you are always connected to and feel you can share your innermost thoughts and emotions. We all have these good friends; in fact, most of us have experienced many of them in our lifetime. Sometimes the two of you grow apart, or someone moves away or has a life event that distances you.

The Difference Between Soulmates and Life Partners
Group 11 Created with Sketch. Group 4 Created with Sketch. As the American writer Richard Bach said , "A soulmate is someone who has locks that fit our keys, and keys to fit our locks. When we feel safe enough to open the locks, our truest selves step out and we can be completely and honestly who we are. The epitome of love and partnership. In our fast-paced chaotic world, which boasts all sorts of different people, we find ourselves skimming through more relationships than we'd like in order to find that one person who can truly open our locks.
Not just anyone can fulfill you the way your soulmate can. There's a world of a difference between your soulmate, your heart's other half and a life partner -- a person who lacks the elements to mold perfectly to you. Your soulmate makes you feel entirely whole, healed and intact, like no piece is missing from the puzzle.
MORE IN LIFE
A life partner, on the other hand, can be a great supporter and long-time companion, but is limited in his or her capacity to enrich your spirit. Most of us remain in life-partner relationships because we "settle," for a multitude of reasons. Firstly, we may have a real subconscious fear of being alone. And since we're biologically designed to fall in love, it's only natural that we pair up in this world.
But we sometimes prolong what are meant to be temporary relationships and mistakenly settle into them for good. There are relationships which must last for a certain period of time to close out a karmic chapter of life, relationships in which we're meant to have children with our partner but not necessarily remain with them, and relationships which are just plain confusing because a melting pot of emotions doesn't allow us to see our predestined path.
I've seen it all in my practice as a psychologist, from couples who married their childhood loves to people in their retirement years who still struggle with commitment issues. Most of us fall somewhere between these two extremes, meaning that we experienced several relationships before finding the person we believe to be our perfect pairing.
Whether you're currently married, in a relationship, or contemplating entering a relationship with a new love interest, it is crucial that you know what role this person will play in your life. After all, there's no avoiding the inevitable, often uncomfortable question we must ask ourselves: Is this the person I was bound by destiny to share my life with? Or did I settle too quickly into a relationship with someone who can never complete me?
No matter the category you fit into to, there are several indications which clearly outline a soulmate bond or a lack of bond between you and your partner.
The Difference Between Soulmates and Life Partners - Forever Conscious
As you go through this list, think about your partner or potential partner and evaluate whether they meet the soulmate criteria. Describing how a soulmate makes you feel is difficult. It's a tenacious, profound and lingering emotion which no words can encompass. If your partner is your soulmate, chances are he or she has been present in your past lives.

Soulmates often choose to come back together during the same lifetime and scope each other out in the big world. You might suddenly and briefly experience flashbacks of your soulmate. You just get each other. Ever met two people who finsh each other's sentences? Some people call that spending too much time together, but I call it a soulmate connection.

You might experience this with your best friend or your mother, but it is the telltale sign of a soulmate when you experience it with your partner. You fall in love with his or her flaws. No relationship is perfect, and even soulmate relationships will experience ups and downs. Still, that bond will be much harder to break. Soulmates have an easier time of accepting, even learning to love, each other's imperfections.
