SOME IMPORTANT FACTORS TO CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING YOUR SOULMATE AND LIFE-LONG PARTNER

If you are considering choosing your soulmate and life-long partner, this should not be done frivolously. This should be entered into with a high level of seriousness and transparency.

Here are some of the major factors that I would like to highlight for you:

1. Your soulmate should come only by revelation and not manipulation. A perfect example of a revealed soulmate and life-long partner is that of Ruth and Boaz in the book of Ruth in the Bible.

2. Endeavour to seek divine intervention to lead you to such a one I.e. they should come by what? Revelation!

3. Remember, a soulmate is one who is good for your souls and for your assignment here on earth. If not, then this can abort your destiny, sabotage your purpose and dwarf your growth and development

4. Ensure that your soulmate embraces wisdom and knowledge with understanding. Bottomline, don't run with a fool.

5. Endeavour to choose one that is compatible with you in terms of ideology, spiritual beliefs and your vision. Nb. If that person does not support your vision, then you might have to re-think and re-strategize your decision to embark of this journey with such person.

6. Choose a soulmate with a sweet, loving and teachable spirit. Also, one who believes in open continuous communication with transparency and authenticity. Nb. Endeavour to be your true and authentic self as you desire to have such person as your life-long partner

7. Their morals and values must be in alignment with yours and must be of a high ethical standard. 

8. Don't devalue your soul's needs neither ignore them. Nb. On Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs the need, a person's desire to love and be loved holds a very prominent position on this scale.

9. This person must be someone that you can share your common vision with and one that will further enhance and facilitate your growth and development.

10. He or she should be one that completes you and not one that competes with you. One who you can share your most inner thoughts with, without being judged or scoffed at. One who will listen attentively and be empathetic when necessary..... your confidant!

11. One that has your back in your presence and your absence. Authenticity is key here.

12. One who will not hail you today and nail you tomorrow. Consistency is highly needed here.

13. It should be someone who draws you closer to God and not further away from.

14. Unspeakable joy is paramount here and not just momentary or temporary happiness. It is better to embrace singleness for a season and then to enjoy a lifetime of real happiness for the other seasons of your life.

I will just leave you with these words that your journey of choosing a soulmate and life-long partner should align itself with God's principles for the same. Be empowered today on this journey.
