How would you define a soul mate? Something like a best friend, but more? A person who knows you better than anyone else?
Well, a soul mate is a person you cannot walk away from easily. It is someone who you cannot imagine being without. A person who is in-tune with your soul and a person who makes you question your beliefs and viewpoints and change them for the better if needed.
On the other hand, a life partner is a person who is a companion and a person you can count on in difficult situations.
