If you believe in the soul mate concept, there may be times you question the health of your marriage. Here are soul mate characteristics that may be in a marriage.

Key Signs of Soulmate Marriages

In order to recognize your soul mate, you must first know yourself. Soulmate marriages can be well balanced, strong, and positive. There should be a lack of intimidation, manipulation, or abuse in a marriage of soul mates. A soul mate should make you feel safe. A relationship with a soul mate is expected to be a natural fit and usually feels like it is meant to be. Even so, every marriage, even a marriage of soul mates, takes the two spouses giving priority to their marriage relationship. A soul mate partner often feels like a mirror to their spouse. Though this does sound a bit boring. A marriage to a soul mate is filled with honesty and support. But then, so are successful marriages of couples who don't believe they are soul mates. There is a sense of familiarity and mutuality in a marriage to a soul mate as well as in long-lasting marriages. Soulmate marriages can be healthy, passionate and harmonious. Soulmate partners can easily get a lot done by working together. Couples who are soul mates often take joy in watching the growth of one another. A soul mate will accept who you are, will bring out the best in you, challenge you, and be your best friend. A soulmate will not require you to change. Hopefully, this is true of your spouse -- soul mate or not. Soul mates relish small moments together and cherish their commitment to their marriage.

Tips for a Successful Marriage

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. Soulmates don't agree on everything. Don't use the soulmate concept as an excuse to walk away from your commitment to your marriage. Remember you can still have difficult times even when married to your soulmate. Romance is a gamble. Marriage takes attentiveness. The bottom line is that marrying a soul mate isn't necessary in order to have a successful and happy marriage.

What are the 3 C's in love?

A strong and healthy relationship is built on the three C's: Communication, Compromise and Commitment.

February may be the month of love, but it takes more than chocolates, flowers and dinner dates to make a relationship work. A strong and healthy relationship is built on the three C’s: Communication, Compromise and Commitment. Whether starting a new relationship or celebrating decades of marriage, here is a refresher course in the three C’s:

Communication

Think about how to use communication to make your partner feel needed, desired and appreciated. Communication is verbal and non-verbal, so actions speak volumes, and remember that listening is a major component of healthy communication. It’s not always what is said, but how it is said, that’s important. If a couple communicates with aggression, the silent treatment or abusive language or actions, it signals concerns that might best be addressed by a professional.

Compromise

Two people in a relationship bring individual experiences, thoughts, behaviors and personalities to the table. Finding common ground means expressing opinions, understanding and accepting differences and agreeing on compromise. If both people feel heard and understood, it helps prevent one person from feeling like they’re giving in, which can build resentment over time.

Commitment

Commitment means putting each other and the relationship first. This requires a lot of giving, and certainly some sacrifice, but the payoff is a relationship that brings true joy and fulfillment to each other’s lives. Knowing that each person is committed to working through challenges and growing together builds trust and intimacy, and helps release the fears and doubts that hold couples back. Relationships can be challenging, and can take a toll on mental, emotional and physical health, mood, or even focus at work.
