It’s amazing how many singles believe that a soulmate relationship is supposed to be perfect, guaranteed to work even under the most adverse conditions.
After all, when it comes to “true” soulmates, the fairytale promise of “happily-ever-after” should be etched in stone. If it weren’t, it wouldn’t be considered the ideal and would be less important to pursue.
It is heartbreaking when soulmates drift apart because they fail to form a bond after meeting or when the relationship crumbles due to irreconcilable differences later on. Promises made prior to incarnation remain unfulfilled, which is a tragedy for both souls whose evolution required the fulfillment of a destiny.
Matches made in heaven fall to earth, and if all goes well, they become committed partners. Many do, and their success in developing and maintaining their love is an example to everyone around them. However, many soulmates never make it to the altar, and some never even make it past the introduction stage. Why? Perhaps they are simply unprepared. They lack the maturity to recognize the spiritual connection and how perfectly their soulmate complements their own qualities.
When physical attraction takes precedence over heartfelt love and friendship, a man or woman may pass up the opportunity for a soulmate who appears more like an old friend, believing that sexual attraction is a prerequisite for long-term love. Conditioned mindsets and cultural imperatives of ideal body types, compatibility tests that profile a match, and wish lists of qualities that represent ideals can lead to the search for a match that does not exist. Unrealistic expectations can be difficult to overcome because our culture constantly validates them. They develop into mindsets that drive desire and influence personal preferences during the mate selection process.
Soulmate relationships can be extremely difficult. Each life requires growth through a series of lessons that challenge the ego to surrender to love and respect the commitment. Prior to the incarnation, a set of goals and pre-conditions were agreed upon, some of which would be difficult to meet even under ideal conditions. Affluent in love and under pressure to complete, two souls may have been overly optimistic when devising a lifetime plan. The difficulties they chose may have been too much for them to bear. The same emotional patterns are repeated in some cases, and soulmates fall further from grace, compounding their karma.
Although not every event in a couple’s life is predetermined, some possibilities and constraints were written into the destiny plan. For example, one partner may have agreed to assist the other in emotionally maturing and healing psychological patterns that the soul has perpetuated in previous incarnations. They are meant to expose any flaws in their soulmate’s character and demand growth from them, no matter how strongly they object. Or one partner may be more psychologically mature and find it difficult to relate to a partner who is stuck in the past. Many people are learning about establishing equality in their relationships at this time. Some people may find it difficult to value their partner’s point of view and to choose equality over more traditional male and female roles, especially if they are subconsciously clinging to their parents’ legacies. They decide to split up because they are tired of fighting the battle of the sexes.
When there is a lot to make up for in this life due to past life karma, the lessons can be especially challenging. One partner may wonder what they did to deserve someone whose cup never seems to fill no matter how much love is given to them. It would be terrible to discover that you murdered your soulmate in a previous life. However, if you keep your promises to them in this life, you will be able to redeem yourself in their eyes.
Negative recall Past-life impressions can be carried into this life and can sometimes interfere with the bonding process. The ghost of memory elicits a strong emotional response, which may cause a soulmate to flee in the opposite direction. One woman whose soulmate relationship failed the tests said, “Sometimes we couldn’t be in the same room due to the strong energy.”
Soulmate relationships fail for the same reasons that any other relationship fails. Unfaithfulness, addictions, or a lack of love, whatever the cause, soulmates who are unable to break free from their destructive patterns will eventually give up and lose interest in keeping the relationship alive. Some people will find it difficult to accept that their relationship has no hope and will find it especially difficult to let go. A soulmate’s emotional pull will cause some men and women to tolerate abusive patterns for far too long. It is sometimes necessary to leave a relationship in order to repair it.
Twin souls have a lot riding on the connection lasting even after the break-up. They may have dreams about each other at night and connect psychically on occasion. They may even fantasize about reuniting in the future. In fact, soulmates are sometimes given a second chance. After failing to honor the commitment the first time, a man I interviewed said it took him 15 years to reconnect with his soulmate. He appreciated the second chance. Twin souls may reconnect for a second chance if there has been significant growth and milestones have been reached. If they do, they are given a wonderful opportunity to forgive and restart fulfilling their important promises.
