All relationships have ups and downs. You may have drifted apart and are wondering whether you found your soulmate or if it could be someone else. Here are secrets on how to maintain relationships with soulmates, even if yours has gone sour.
Have you been bickering more with your soulmate recently? Is the once seemingly impenetrable love you had for each other starting to crack slightly at the seams?
Maybe what was once unbridled passion has gradually fizzled out, and you’re left with a gnawing feeling that you made a mistake somewhere down the line, or perhaps they aren’t your soulmate after all. I’d like to share some of the key signs of failing soulmate relationships before providing some invaluable tips on how to maintain relationships and rekindle a lost spark with a loved one.
Soulmate relationships aren’t all sunshine and rainbows
All soulmate relationships have their ups and downs – as with everything in life. Not every experience with the love of your life can be blissful, perfect, and flawless. In fact, the very purpose of a soulmate is to teach you about the realities of life and help you grow spiritually so that you have the necessary skills and maturity to take all of life’s experiences in your stride – good and bad, beautiful and ugly.
In Hindu culture, a soulmate is someone who helps you lead a life that serves a higher purpose. Whether you’ve found this person or not, even the deepest soulmate relationships have times of strife and moments of disconnection. There are so many reasons why relationships fail, though the most common relationship killers are a loss of trust, poor communication, different priorities, and a lack of respect or intimacy.
How to rekindle a dying flame
If you are having problems with your soulmate and are unsure where the problem lies and how to fix it, here are some classic signs that your relationship isn’t working, and some steps you can take to repair it.
Signs your relationship isn’t working
Here are three symptoms of a relationship gone sour to look out for. If left to fester, they could eventually spell the bitter end of what could have been a blissful, long-lasting relationship with your soulmate.
Loss of trust
Security is one of the most important aspects of a healthy relationship. If you lack sufficient emotional support from your soulmate or find that they are unreliable or dishonest, it can be difficult to open yourself up to trust them again. Loss of trust can manifest itself in many ways, from jealousy and possessiveness to outright lies and infidelity.
Poor communication
Sometimes disagreeing with your partner is normal (and even healthy) as it’s better to talk through your problems than not talk at all. But when it gets to the point when you are solely communicating in an angry, defensive, or passive-aggressive way with each other, you need to make a change and reevaluate your relationship.
Different priorities or goals
It can be difficult to grow with your soulmate if you have vastly different relationship desires or life goals. If you are both constantly on different pages and can’t seem to reach a compromise, you might need to seriously consider whether there is a better, more suited match for you out there who can better meet your needs.
How to repair your soulmate relationship
If you recognize some of the warning signs of a failing relationship between you and your partner, do not despair! All is certainly not lost. By asking yourself what you can do to fix it, you’re already taking the right steps to repairing your soulmate relationship. Here are three ways you can start to get your relationship back on track.
Foster open communication
Good communication is the key to any successful relationship. Always carve out regular time to talk about you and your partner’s concerns. Listen fully to what they are saying and empathize with their feelings. Show gratitude and appreciation for the things they do for you and make sure they know how loved they are.
Learn their love language
Make a list of responses to: ‘I feel loved when you…’ and whether it’s receiving flowers, planning a weekend away, or initiating sex, make a concerted effort to show your love the way your soulmate wants to receive it. The more you learn each other’s love languages, the stronger your soulmate relationship will become.
Rebuild trust
If trust has been broken, winning it back can be difficult. Some good starting points are: to practice open communication and forgiveness, avoid dwelling on the past, and apologize sincerely for any mistakes. It may take time to fully trust each other again but working on your issues together will only make your relationship stronger.
Can you have more than one soulmate?
People can have multiple soulmates in their lives – from deep platonic friendships to fiery and passionate loves. The only commonality is that you were brought onto this Earth to teach each other a lesson (or lessons). Whether the love of your life or a forever best friend, keeping relationships healthy and strong takes time and effort for both parties.
But not all soulmates can stay in your life forever. Perhaps you have taught each other all you can, and it is time to go your separate ways. Or maybe the experience wasn’t supposed to end happily but was intended as an important learning experience for your souls to grow and develop.
Should I look for another soulmate?
If your current relationship is going down the drain and you can’t seem to fix it or work out your issues together, there may well be another soulmate out there for you, hiding in the shadows waiting until the right time to appear in your life. Or maybe your soul partner is already in your life but you haven’t made the soulmate connection yet.
Whichever the case, having a Soulmate Sketch done can help refocus your mind and reframe the value of your current relationship. While the soulmate sketches I draw may not guide you towards your forever match, they could help steer you towards a fleeting partner to help guide you on your journey to develop the power of your mind and soul.
