10 Signs You Have Found Your Soulmate

There are two kinds of people in this world, those who believe in soulmates and those who think it's gobbledegook. A Google search of terms such as 'twin flames' or 'mirror souls' will yield countless stories, theories and testimonials telling you how “When a soul is created, it is split into two parts, mirrors of each other, constantly yearning to reconnect",  there is that one person out there you have a deep, karmic connection with.

So, does this instant, electrical connection exist? For Cosmo reader Candace, it most certainly did. " Nearly 11 years ago, I walked past my now-husband in one of the hallways in our high school and was drawn to his eyes", she shares. "They say the eyes are the window to the soul, and that's exactly the case here. His eyes were just a sample of his incredible qualities, both inside and out. His eyes captivated me in the high school hallway, and I wanted to know him from that moment. We have been together since that time and have been married for three years."
