What is a soulmate? A soulmate is someone who is attracted to your soul or your true spiritual essence. Soulmate relationships are harmonious and deeply nourishing on a spiritual level. Your soulmate will be attracted to your radiant essence and passionate commitment to your soul purpose. 

One of the most interesting things about soul mates is sometimes they're the people we resist the most. You'd think we'd run to our soul mates with open arms, but often we end up running in the other direction.

Why do you feel an impulse to push your soul mate away? Why do others give you advice to do the same? How do you change this pattern by accepting your soul mate and signing up for the relationship of your life?

There are countless elements that shape the trajectory of a relationship—how well a couple communicates, their ability to work through challenges, and the simple act of being present when life hits a low note. But beyond the emotional and practical factors that build or break romantic partnerships, there’s another dimension people often overlook when considering long-term commitment: the age at which they choose to marry.

According to Audrey Hope, a celebrity relationship counselor, our sense of timing in love is often heavily influenced by cultural patterns and societal conditioning. “We've been molded to believe the right time to marry is immediately after college—or even right after high school in some communities,” she explains. “It’s like there’s this invisible rulebook, and if we don’t follow the timeline outlined by tradition, we start to feel as if we’re falling behind in life or destined to miss out on love altogether.”
