8 Early Signs You Have A Soul Connection To The Person You Love, According To Psychology
These signs point to a love that is much more profound than average.
August de Richelieu | Pexels Everyone says they want a soul connection that lasts. Yet, the number of marriages accounted for has declined constantly over the past few decades. According to studies, in the UK, there were approximately 408,000 recorded marriages in the year 1950. In the year 2000, there was only a total of 306,000 recorded marriages.
They also report that divorce rates have steadily increased. In the year 1960, a couple got divorced every 20 minutes. In the year 2000, a couple got divorced every 3.4 minutes. Furthermore, the Centre for Social Justice reported that within the United Kingdom, a total of 48 percent of parents divorce before their first child's 16th birthday.
Of course, we know that a true soul connection will most likely last for a longer time. When a couple is happily married, the risk of divorce is also considerably lower. While happiness cannot be forced upon a marriage, a couple can work together to ensure they meet each other's expectations and make each other happy. We have collected a list of signs that predict you have a true soul connection to the person you love.
Here are eight early signs you have a soul connection to the person you love:
1. You trust each other

Trust is most likely the most important aspect of a relationship, especially when a couple has a soul connection. Analyze the trustworthiness and reliability of your partner.
It is important to let go of your trust issues when determining whether your partner can be trusted. This will allow you to look at the bigger picture without allowing your issues to get in the way. If you can trust your partner and they are dependable, it might be a sign of a rock-solid and happy marriage.
2. You lift each other up

When two people have a genuine soul connection, they are supposed to support each other above all else. They are also supposed to respect one another.
If these elements are active in a relationship, communication between the two partners will usually lift each other's spirits instead of breaking them down. Instead of attacking each other, partners will focus on resolving the issues they have to overcome. They're friends as well as lovers.
Studies show that supportive partners experience greater relationship satisfaction, improved well-being, and are better equipped to navigate life's challenges. A supportive partner can act as a buffer against stress and adversity, helping individuals cope with difficult situations.
3. You share the same financial views and values

It is reported that money-related issues are the biggest causes of divorce. While every person is unique and has their values, it is important to determine how similar your and your partner's views and values are when it comes to finances.
If the two of you can work together during difficult times and easily sort out differences, it is a sign that the two of you have a soul connection.
4. You show gratitude

A study by the University of Georgia concluded that gratitude plays a large role in the soul connection of a couple. The study suggests that when a partner shows another partner they value them, it could lead to a longer-lasting marriage.
Many people don't realize that the little things count, such as buying your partner a gift now and then or saying "thank you" when your partner does something nice for you. These all allow you to show your gratitude towards your partner.
5. You spend quality time together

While we all have busy lives and often cannot get to everything we need to, it is still important to spend time with each other when married.
It doesn't matter if it's the entire day or simply an hour or two; spending some quality time with your partner leads to happiness and a better connection between the two of you. Couples who spend time together usually have a strong soul connection.
6. You accept each other

During the first few months in a relationship, both partners are filled with love and romance. As time goes by, this feeling starts to go away, and the inner imperfections of both partners come out.
Partners who can accept each other no matter what their weaknesses or imperfections are bound to have a soul connection.
Acceptance in a relationship means acknowledging and valuing a partner for who they are, including their strengths and weaknesses, and supporting their growth and well-being. One study argues that this creates a foundation of trust and emotional safety, allowing both partners to thrive and deepen their connection.
7. You respect each other

Respect is another essential element that a soul connection requires in order to stay that way. It's vital to support and respect each other's needs, inner selves, likes, and even the things they don't like. This shows that you respect them and their choices.
8. You're able to compromise

Relationships in which both partners are able to put away their pride and admit when they have made a mistake are said to last longer.
Couples who are able to compromise and able to accept each other's mistakes are usually happier together. When one partner makes a mistake and admits it, the other partner should be able to compromise and show respect, as well as accept and live with the mistake.
Having a soul connection means you and your partner have to work together to make it last. It takes time, dedication, respect, and trust to make a marriage work.
Research shows that couples who are skilled at compromise and conflict resolution tend to report higher levels of relationship satisfaction. This is because both partners feel heard, valued, and that their needs are being considered.
These signs are predictors of a true soul connection. If these predictors are present, it means you are likely to be happily married or together for years to come.
