Are You Soulmates?
Forever is a long time, do you want to spend your life with your partner? Whether it was love at first sight or you’ve grown up together, how do you know if your partner is the one? From testing your relationship to the way they make you feel at home, here are 20 ways to find out if you’re compatible for life:
1. Travel Together
So you want to know if you can live together forever?–– Try traveling together. Traveling brings out a lot about someone. It shows how they handle stressful situations and how they problem-solve. Traveling with someone will also expose how similar or different you do things. If you can travel together, you can be together.
2. Travel Apart
On the other hand, traveling apart will also expose the truth about your relationship. If you’re confident to travel without your partner that shows you don’t need them you want them. If you’re missing them while you’re far apart that means you’re longing for their presence and would rather be together.
3. Live In A Small Space
If you can handle living in a tent or an RV for a couple of weeks with your partner, that’s true love. Book a road trip or rent out a tiny home together if you want to put your relationship longevity to the test. If you can live in close proximity and still want to be together, you’re meant to be.
4. They Feel Like Home
You’ll know you’re with your soulmate if they feel like home. When all you feel is comfort and ease with them by your side, you’ll be at home wherever you are. They’re your happy place in human form.
