In my experience there is a difference between a "soul mate" and a "twin flame" - at least that is how I would sort out different relationships I have experienced in this incarnation.
To me a "soul mate" does not need to be a sexual partner or marriage partner. I would define a soul mate more along the lines of a classmate. I have been married to three "soul mates" in this incarnation. The current one for 22 years.
But I have also met my "twin flame" (for lack of a better description). When we met it was like jumping into a lake of molten lava - even though we did not act on any sexual attraction because he was married when we met. But we recognized each other instantly, and we had (have) an almost physical connection, even when we had absolutely zero contact for many, many years. I can know what he is thinking at any given moment, can sometimes see what he is doing as if through his eyes. There are not words to describe the relationship except to say that we recognized each other as being part of the same whole.
