Everyone wants to meet their Soulmate. In fact, one of the most common questions we occasionally have is “When am I going to meet my Soulmate?”
We have many Soulmates in this life but their purpose is all the same- they are here to challenge and awaken us so our soul can evolve into a higher state of consciousness.
Our Soulmates always arrive when we are ready for them and not a moment sooner. They arrive when we are ready to learn the lessons that we were destined to fulfill.
Soulmate relationships are often not forever, this is because sometimes the relationship can be too intense. Soulmates can also be friends and relatives, they don’t always have to be romantic partners. Regardless of this, you will always feel a strong, energetic connection or a past life history together.
Soul Mate
Someone who is aligned with your soul and is sent to challenge, awaken and stir different parts of you in order for your soul to transcend to a higher level of consciousness and awareness.
Many of us spend years obsessing about meeting a Soulmate, but fail to notice what we are really asking for. When we ask for a Soulmate we are really asking to grow and develop in consciousness, and not understanding this can sometimes block the energy from coming to us.
Alternatively, if you are done with the soul lessons for now and are just looking for a companion to share the rest of your life with, what you want to be asking for, or manifesting is your Life Partner.
Life Partner
A companion, a friend, 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 others needs and wants.
A Life Partner is more like a companion or friend that you feel a strong connection to. It may not be a deep, soul connection like a soul mate, but there would be a mutual feeling of trust, understanding and respect. A life partner is someone who is dependable and considerate of your needs and wants. Of course, a life partner is also someone that you are attracted to and that you love and care for.
While you will still be learning lessons from a life partner, they are more about lending support and giving you a guiding hand as you navigate through your own soul journey.
Meeting your Life Partner is usually not something you spiritually or energetically prepare yourself for like you would with a soulmate. Instead it requires emotional and mental preparation and physically putting yourself out there.
It is possible to have your Soulmate also be your Life Partner and it is also possible that you and your Life Partner can develop a deeper, soul connection- it all just depends on which direction you choose to steer.
Some key differences that i found out for each relationship type are,

At different times of our lives we will need and want different types of relationships. Neither is better or worse than the other, it is all a personal decision and one that you will feel guided to as long as you are following your heart.

Good one Rajeev… I liked the way you tried to explain the greatest misconception in most of the folks that soulmate has to be a husband or wife… Completely agree with the fact that soulmate can be a relative or a best friend…. However I believe that there is no stage where which can be defined as “being ready for a soulmate” .. it just happens, a soulmate can even help you abridge the biggest chasms of your life when a person feels that he/she is not even ready to accept anyone ….
Thank you Abhishek. And I acknowledge your view that you kept here. Humans are very intricate beings and every mind has its own mechanism of handling change. Thus, in my case I have felt that when someone makes way in our life there are certain circumstances or situation that prelude their arrival making you ready for them.
