A Soul Mate can be recognized with the help of God when you having achieved a high level of spiritual development in your Christian walk. When we decide to make the choice to follow God, I believe HE will put in our path the right people and the right situations that will mold us into the people that HE wants us to be. We, as humans, get ourselves into the messiest positions and relationships, but God in HIS infinite wisdom and grace can dig us out if we seek HIM.
