Soulmates prepare you for your Twin Flame

Soul mate connections show what you do /do not want in a relationship and point you to your truth.
How?
Have you ever made a vase or bowl out of clay?  You put a lump of clay on a wheel adding more clay here and removing from it what you do not want, shaping and reshaping until it is just right.  Then you remove it, FIRE it up to CURE it and then paint it creating a beautiful masterpiece from what was once a simple lump of clay...
It is in the final stages of creation that any remaining lumps that were missed are found are removed to create the final masterpiece. 
Much like the Twin Flame journey:  we do not WANT to change until we MUST.  The Twin Flame  relationship is the final creation of our Lifetime Masterpiece in the Mastery of Self.  That is where the beauty of this journey is.
Our Twin Flame is the one who makes us finally work on ourselves... looking inward instead of outward blaming others...shaping and removing what does not belong and where we are purified by FIRE to become our true authentic selves:
Beautiful, Strong, and Uniquely and Imperfectly Perfect.
