Their meeting created all the signs and symptoms of a twin flame reunion, and each brought one another to greater heights of joy and creativity. When John demanded that Harriet abandon her relationship with Mill, Harriet complied. But John saw how unhappy this made his wife, and he learned to accept Mill's role as her lifelong platonic lover and friend. It is important not to compare your relationships against the ideal of the twin flame, and find it lacking. Love by any name is just as sweet.
Humans tend to like to categorize things - relationships included.
The purpose of categorizing soul mate relationships is to understand them better and to help us to learn the lessons each has for us. If you wish to meet your twin flame, begin by cherishing the love you have now in your life. Given statistics and the law of averages, not everyone has a twin flame similar in age who is available. Meeting and having a relationship with our twin flame is highly unlikely in our life. But don't be disheartened.
