Empathy levels between soulmates generally remain high because you tend to know how your soulmate feels. The moment you see them, you get a sense of how they truly feel on the inside. They may smile on the outside, but only you can tell if their smile conceals their anger, sadness, melancholy, and other emotions.

9. You see the good in their bad

Everyone has flaws, but only a soulmate sees the advantages in their partners’ flaws. For instance, your partner may be a cleanliness freak, but you don’t mind because their space always smells and feels good. Similarly, you may be highly impatient, but your partner notices how you are always on time or early.

10. You respect differences in opinion

Being soulmates does not imply you will always agree. You have differences in views and personalities, but you respect each other’s differences and are always loyal to them.

There are times when you fight and argue with your soulmate, but neither of you considers splitting up. Even if either of you is highly enraged, you refrain from crossing the line and share a profound commitment and respect.

When soulmates give, it is not out of fear or compulsion but true love and devotion. Because you and your soulmate intend to make each other happy, you will find yourselves giving in to each other’s wishes to see the other’s content.

15. You are two halves of one

We all have flaws, but your soulmate makes up for your shortcomings while you compensate for theirs. Together, you complete each other. If you are shy of public speaking, your soulmate will be a people person. And if they are weak at math, you’ll be a mathematical genius.

Dawn Elizabeth, a writer and creator, shares how she and her husband find harmony and synergy in their partnership. She explains, “I’m his editor when he needs to draft an email or grad school application. He’s my rock when I’m feeling emotional. I make plans and spice up his life, and when I get too carried away with projects, he is the anchor that brings me back down to earth. We’re a good balance and complement each other nicely (i).”
