How To Find Your Soulmate?
The person that we hope to spend the rest of our lives with must first and foremost be a best friend, yet we have many friends and only one soulmate. How are we to know when a certain someone is the one we are meant to be with?
We might evaluate our partner by making a list of all the things we have in common—our favorite band, our favorite movie, our favorite pizza topping. Now, while all of these may seem like potential deal breakers or deal makers, the list of favorites should never seal the deal. After all, just think about how many of your friends from high school that you shared these things with you no longer talk to. Why is it that despite having things in common you grew apart from teenage friends? The same reason that old acquaintances are forgotten explains why so many couples that thought they would be together forever are today ending in divorce.
A list of things in common might be what brings a couple together, but what will ultimately keep you together is having a basis for the relationship grounded in unchanging principles. Unlike that band that you were so obsessed with when you were a kid but now think are cheesy, Biblical principles will never change. However, believing in a common set of principles doesn’t mean that you have found your life partner and soulmate. This is what misleads people into thinking that simply meeting someone at church ensures that he or she is a person of integrity. Principles are nothing without actions! One must not merely believe in the truth, one must walk the walk!
The deal-maker of a solid relationship is to find someone who is walking the walk. Although only God knows what is written on a man’s heart, we are given a little bit of psychic energy when finding our soulmate. How can you know if someone is truly walking the walk? How can you recognize Mr. Right or Mrs. Right? You’ll know it when he or she makes you want to be a better person. When they inspire you. When they encourage you to be who you want to be. When they love you in such a way so that you love yourself. And in turn, your love for them will make them a better person, so that over time, your mutual love will make the relationship stronger and stronger.
