Unlike life partners — what we consider to be soul-mate relationships or “the
one” — twin flame relationships are intense and challenging relationships that
force us to deal with our unresolved issues and, through trials, tribulations,
and breakthroughs, become a bigger person. Because of this intensity, it’s
uncommon for twin flames to be a lifelong partnership. Rather, they are people
who enter your life for a period of time to help you grow and steer you on
course. “It is common for those relationships to separate because they are very
difficult to maintain.”
