When Two People Are Meant To Be Together, These 11 Things Always Happen
The universe works in mysterious ways.
Bobex-73 | Shutterstock In a fairy tale story, it doesn't take a genius to know when a couple is meant to be with one another. The stars align, they click almost immediately, and everything magically works out in their favor. And while this may be rare in real life, when two people are meant to be together, these things always happen, whether it's feeling safe together or using conflict to strengthen their bond.
While many people try to manifest true love, some are just lucky to find their soulmate. After they've spent so much time working on themselves, they're finally ready for a lifetime partner, and can meet the love of their life at the most random time. And it's usually only after they've become the most evolved version of themselves.
When two people are meant to be together, these 11 things always happen
1. Their paths cross when they're ready

They might have seen one another in passing, but for some reason, they never got to know one another. Like some invisible force, someone or something always interfered, which led them to not speak for years. However, when the timing was right, their paths inevitably crossed again.
Because they're meant to be, this happened when they were ready to welcome in love. They move in sync and everything seemingly falls into place when they're together. Call it destiny, but when it's truly meant to be, there is no second thought.
As psychologist Mark Travers explained, "Being with the right person doesn't mean life suddenly becomes perfect or easy, but it'll often feel easier to navigate with them by your side. The relationship itself won't be a source of anxiety, self-doubt, or instability. There's no stress about where you stand with your partner, because it feels like you're on the same team, facing life together."
2. They don't feel butterflies, they feel at peace

When two people are meant to be together, they don't feel butterflies for one another; rather, they feel deeply at peace. In their daily lives, there's a ton of uncertainty. From their careers to their friendships, it's easy to feel like life is a chaotic mess.
But if there's one thing they feel comfortable and safe with, it's each other. Without needing to try too hard, their partner has a gift in being able to put their mind at ease. Whether it's after work or in a high-tension moment, their partner's energy is soothing and allows them to get the rest they deserve.
3. They separate to evolve

They may not be completely whole when they first meet. True soulmates usually meet once or twice, and then spend years after evolving to be the perfect match for one another. The universe is telling them they need more time to prepare. Without them even knowing, it sends challenges, heartbreaks, and life lessons to prepare them for each other.
In the moment, it feels pretty devastating, but with time they slowly begin to realize that everything happens for a reason. They grow to appreciate and find enjoyment, even in tough times. This only prepares them to be a good partner and, according to psychology expert Stephen Joseph, "People able to grow and develop are more creative in their approach to life and its obstacles."
4. They mirror one another's wounds

When someone is in the right relationship, it won't just bring them a sense of peace; instead, it will evolve them like never before. These relationships will peel back layers, exposing unhealed wounds that were never addressed. They love one another, but the work doesn't stop before the relationship.
People can do as much work on themselves as they want. Yet in a relationship, it's typically a new set of rules. From addressing relationship trauma to flaws within themselves, they'll be the mirror that exposes each other for who they truly are, in the best way possible.
5. They always find their way back to each other

Sometimes, things don't work out the first time. Maybe a job opportunity takes them away or they have a lot of work to do to improve themselves first. Either way, the couple in question separates, leaving everything they've built behind. While it may feel like it's over, they always find their way back to each other.
It may take years, but the universe is always going to find a way to bring them back to each other and force the couple to see how much they're meant to be. As couple and family psychologist Gregory Matos said, when it's meant to be, both partners feel like they were chosen for one another.
6. They click automatically

When two people are meant to be together, they tend to click right away. When they meet as strangers, there's something between them that's unexplainable. It isn't magic or rose-colored glasses, it's an undeniable feeling of connectedness.
When they talk to one another, they "get" each other on a spiritual level. There's not a lot of explaining that needs to happen. Without them even realizing it, within a few minutes, there's something about the other person that just makes sense.
7. Conflicts strengthen their relationship

Couples go through their fair share of ups and downs. Even the most fated relationships are bound to be complicated from time to time. From disagreements about finances to petty arguments about dishes, every couple has conflicts. However, how couples handle these pitfalls says a lot about them.
According to psychologist Mark B. Borg, Jr and psychotherapist Haruna Miyamoto-Borg, "Conflict isn't proof of failure; it's proof of engagement... Every rupture is an opportunity to repair — and every repair makes the bond stronger." If couples are able to handle conflict with grace, they are simply meant to be.
8. They have the same vision for the future

Couples should be on the same page when it comes to their future. Unfortunately, sometimes, they just don't share the same vision. From wanting to move to different locations to not being in sync on starting a family, there are many reasons why couples might not have the same future in mind.
But because the universe has connected these two, it isn't hard for them to get on the same page. Completely in unison with one another, these individuals don't need to spend too much time figuring out how to make one another happy.
9. They communicate without saying a word

It may sound strange, but when two people are meant to be together, they don't need to say much of anything to connect. A quick look at their partner and they know exactly how they feel without needing to dig deep. Maybe it's because they know one another so well, but a big portion of knowing one another often has to do with body language.
According to communication speaker Nick Morgan, "Most humans are reasonably good at reading the signals of people that they know well — long-time colleagues, friends, and family — especially when they are moved by a strong emotion."
10. Their hearts and minds agree

In a relationship, there's often a tug of war between one's heart and mind. A person may like someone, but there's something in their heart or mind that just doesn't want to budge. And while this is normal for most people, for those meant to be, it isn't complicated.
Without needing to think twice, someone instantly knows that person is the one. From getting to know them, their mind logically knows this person would make a great partner, and their heart feels at home. And with zero hesitation, they're willing to put themselves out there and give the relationship a go.
11. They feel safe being vulnerable

It isn't always easy to be open with someone and it takes a considerable amount of time to lower their guard and truly feel at home with them. But when someone is truly meant to be with their partner, there's no doubt in their mind that this is "the one."
With zero fear, they can be vulnerable and honest. And according to licensed clinical psychologist Jennifer Caspari, "Being vulnerable is part of being human. Being vulnerable requires us to let our guard down and be seen for who we authentically are. This is difficult, and a key part of enhancing self-acceptance and genuine confidence, building relationships, and strengthening quality of life is allowing ourselves to be seen by ourselves and others."
