Life
I never believed in soulmates until I met my boyfriend. I always figured that everybody had someone that was meant for them at a certain time in their life. But a soulmate? Someone you share an immediate connection with and continue to feel that way for your whole life? I wasn't so sure until I met him, and then I just knew. But even if I wasn’t 100 percent sold on the idea, there are easily some questions you should be able to about your partner to determine if they really are soulmate status.
The questions vary from the deep, inciteful inquiries to slightly vein queries. There are questions you should be able to answer that help further your connection, like on your soulmate's values or dreams. And there are those little things you should know in order to be the best partner for your SO. What makes them happy? What are they afraid of?
All of your communication and intimacy should give you insight into these 23 questions about your soulmate. If you know that the two of you connect when it comes to a positive outlook in situations, then you can answer correctly if they're an optimist or a pessimist. Keep in mind that if you're unsure of some of these, it doesn't mean you need to break up immediately. Instead, focus on learning the answers so you can feel confident in the fact that you are with the one your soul love.
1What's On Their Bucket List?
You don't have to know the entire list, but you should be able to mention a few items on your partner's bucket list. That knowledge means the two of you have talked about dreams and desires. Even if it's something as simple as they want to see a baseball game at Fenway Park, it matters.
2Do They Want Children?
Huge, right? Whether you want children or not is irrelevant at the moment. You need to know if your partner wants children and what that means to them. Is it something they can't live without? Is it something they can compromise on?
3What Are Their Political Leanings?
You don't always have to agree with your soulmate on their political leanings, but it's important to know their world views, especially on social and economic issues.
4What Are They Afraid Of?
It doesn't matter what your partner is afraid of, what matters is that you know so you're able to help in a situation. If they're afraid of severe weather, then you'll know to be more comforting and reassuring to them during a bad storm.
5What Do They Love About You?

You have a connection as soulmates, but that doesn't mean the two of you always react in the same way. If you haven't seen your partner in a variety of situations or you have no idea how they handle their own emotions, that needs to change. People can be unpredictable, sure, but it's comforting to know how your SO will act if they lose a family member, if someone makes them angry, or even if they're overwhelmed with life.
