After more than 25 years of empirical research involving relationships,Finding a Soul mate: 5 Biggest Love Life Traps That Most People Fall Into Blindly Articles spirituality, compatibility assessment and match making, we discovered that too many people fall into these three love life traps:

Love Life Trap #1: Assuming you have only one soul mate
Love Life Trap #2: Waiting for a perfect match
Love Life Trap #3: Expecting all romantic relationships to endure blissfully for an entire lifetime

These beliefs are detrimental to your emotional well-being. They often lead to grave disappointment, heartbreak, despair, and loss of peace of mind when your love life unfolds differently than you had expected.

Getting caught in these love life illusions will prevent you from living your highest potential. It can even cause you to forfeit unconditional, authentic love while you embrace fantasies and unrealistic hopes.

Why Most People Fall Into These Love Life Traps

Many have made these mistakes for two main reasons:

1.  From an early age, romantic movies, fairytales and other external influences have conditioned many people to strive for unrealistic love relationship models.

2.  They think to themselves, "Well, I've heard of many couples having the ideal relationship, being together happily for fifty years or longer. If they can do it, I can too."

Unfortunately, everyone's love life is different. Some are destined to have an enduring, satisfying love life right now. Some may be slated for that later in life. And, others may have totally different love life circumstances, beyond their control.

It's okay to strive and hope for what you want in love and in life. But it's a good idea to be as realistic as possible at the same time.

If you think about it, it makes more sense that everyone has many soul mates because everyone is always evolving, changing, improving, and sometimes regressing at different rates. It's also a mistake to expect one person to fulfill all of your love life demands. That's a lot of pressure for anyone!

Falling into these love life traps repeatedly trip up even the most intelligent and otherwise successful people, so don't feel bad. You can choose to opt-out of them and make the most of your love life, whether you are single or involved.

So, if you have fallen into at least one of the three love life traps, what can you do about it?
 
5 Tips for Escaping the 3 Biggest Love Life Traps

1. Understand that everyone's love life cycles are different. You will go through natural, romantic ups and downs throughout your life, and you will emerge from the unpleasant parts in time.
 
2. Understand that the notion that everyone has only one soul mate will cause many problems. Metaphysical research shows that everyone has many soul mates, and that some are much more compatible than others. If you would like to be involved with a soul mate, be confident that you will connect with another soul mate, and that you will love again.

3. Stop worrying about finding someone who will be compatible for an entire lifetime. All relationships appear to have unique destined beginnings and endings. Some are meant to be short-term (even if the couple chooses to stay together as roommates), and some are meant to be long-term. Surely, you've experienced a friendship that has run its course. Love relationships are similar in that way.
 
4. Embrace shorter-term bonds as learning opportunities instead of viewing them as failed relationships. Whether or not you learned from the experience is of most importance, not how many years you were together. Cherish the lessons, rewards as well as the chance to be together and share one another's lives.

5. Don't worry about being a perfect partner or all things to one person. Instead, accept the fact that this is impossible and that you are both free to develop enriching and rewarding friendships that will positively influence you and your relationship.

If you follow our advice and view your love life from a different perspective, you can drastically reduce stress and heartache. Now, wouldn't you rather have the peace of mind that comes from understanding the true nature of romantic love?

Think of the time and heartache you'll save and the frustration you'll avoid when you stop trying to manifest what is not meant to be and adopt a more emotionally healthy perspective.
