11 Concrete Signs You Have A Soul Connection To The Person You Love
When these signs are present, you know that you are deeply connected to the person you love.
wavebreakmedia / Shutterstock A soul connection is a profound spiritual bond between two people that extends beyond the physical world. It's about how they resonate with each other, an intuitive recognition that allows them to understand one another in a way that no one else has. The love is unconditional, and they are accepting of each other, even during hard times.
Some connections extend beyond surface-level attraction and sharing common interests. It feels so deeply rooted, it's as if two people share the same heart and have met in another lifetime. Differentiating between a true soul connection and a fly-by-night romance is critical to knowing that you are exactly where you should be. These signs are unmistakable.
Here are 11 concrete signs you have a soul connection to the person you love
1. You feel as if you've known them forever

Whether you've known them for a few weeks or several years, the person with whom you have a soul connection will feel as if you've known them forever. There is a particular familiarity between the two of you that cannot be explained. It just is. Others might not get how you are so closely tied, but it is not for them to understand.
The immediate comfort that you found in one another seems like a continuation from a past lifetime. You can't put your finger on it, but you've met them before, in another existence. The connection is timeless and will last forever, no matter when either of you ends up.
2. You don't need words to communicate

Nonverbal communication or automatic when you have a soul connection to the person you love. You can look at each other and understand what is going through your heads without speaking a word. There is an inexplicable inner knowledge of what speaks to your partner's soul, and others can't wrap their minds around it, but they can see it.
A glance, a subtle expression, or simple silence between you speaks volumes. You don't need to ask what the other is feeling because you can feel it, too. Even when you are not next to each other, the energy is palpable.
3. You grow individually and together

True soul connections are those that inspire you to grow instead of holding you back. They are not competitive by nature, but supportive, making each partner feel as if they can conquer the world. You want to do better because of them. The empowerment is not tangible, so it can't be seen or touched. It is spiritual.
A soulmate pushes you to become the best version of yourself. The relationship won't be perfect, but it will be worthwhile. The intention from the universe when sending this person into your life is to transform you into someone who knows exactly who you are and what you want out of life, and you are not scared to go after it.
4. You can't describe the attraction between you

A soul connection comes with a draw to one another that cannot be described. No matter what is going on in the world around you, your partner is always at the back of your mind. When you are away from them, you want to be close. When you are away from them, you can't wait to get back, and when you are next to each other, you could stay there forever.
Conflict or distance can't even keep you apart, as it seems there are invisible forces that always pull the two of you back together. But that doesn't mean that the bond is forced. The attraction is magnetic, and neither of you could deny it if you tried.
5. You feel completely safe being yourself

The person who has a soul connection with you will allow you to be unapologetically you. They won't try to change who you are at the core, but will help you be your very best self. You can be open and vulnerable without fear of rejection or judgment.
You don't have to perform for them, impress them, or hide parts of who you are. Your realness is celebrated, not tolerated, and you can show up raw and unfiltered and still be loved. The greatest gift you can give another person is acceptance.
6. Time feels different around them

When you connect with your soulmate, time seems to move differently. It will either stand still, or hours will feel like minutes. All of your other priorities take a back burner, and you are present and focused on spending quality time with your person.
It doesn't matter if you're watching movies, planning your next adventure, or just sitting together in silence. Every moment is filled with peace and ease. You're not in a rush to go anywhere in particular, but you know that you want to be wherever they are.
7. You have the same emotional frequency

There are times during a relationship when you might feel one way and your partner feels another way. This can create an empathetic disconnect where no one understands the other person. But with two people who have a soul connection, they often find themselves having the same emotions at the same time.
Call it spiritual alignment, but those with a soul connection can feel when the other person is hurting, scared, or joyful. Because of that, they can relate to each other in a way that many cannot. Even when the two of them are apart, they 'feel' each other and can have emotional ups and downs that are not necessarily their own.
8. You respect the things you don't understand about each other

It's important to remember that a soul connection isn't about having the perfect relationship. There is an understanding that things will not be perfect. You understand that human beings have flaws and fears, and for some reason, you are more patient and empathetic with the person you love like no other.
Even in the areas where your lover needs improvement, you handle them with care and gentleness. You encourage growth and development, but don't put undue pressure on them to change. You allow them to evolve organically and in their own time. You understand that growth is a lifelong process and give them the space and grace to evolve.
9. You feel a deep sense of purpose together

When you have found the person you connect with on a soul level, your relationship feels like it's a part of something much bigger. There is a shared purpose that you must uncover and a journey that you are about to embark on together.
People with strong soul connections are meant to create, heal, and grow together in a way that impacts the entire world around them. By just being together and following the path that the universe has laid out for them, they will inspire others and spread the love that they share.
10. You experience meaningful coincidences

When you have a soul connection, there will be synchronicities and coincidences that are too powerful to ignore. Your life paths are aligned, and it seems like perfect timing. You start to understand that it might be meant to be. It's like you were intentionally placed in each other's lives like the missing piece of a puzzle.
The universe brings you together in the most strange and wonderful ways. Your paths crossed for a reason, and you are determined to find out where this road will take you. It feels like a never-ending adventure that you want to stay on forever.
11. You don't question the love

A real soul connection is one where you don't doubt the love. You just know you can count on them to be there for the long haul. You are not anxious about anything to do with them and have a trust that you never thought was possible.
The inner peace about the bond you share makes everyone feel secure and protected. Even when things are hard, there is no uncertainty. You know in your heart and soul, and this is your person, and that you were divinely created for each other.
