Relationship Advice for Keep Love Alive
This past weekend, we gave what we think was our best ever presentation on the soul mate spark--how to get it and how to keep it. As we were talking with people from the audience, it was abundantly clear that many had felt the thrill of finding a "soul mate" and only to have the relationship lapse into "ordinary" and full of disagreements.
What we told them was that once you find your soul mate, you can keep the passion and even deepen it throughout the years. Your relationship doesn't have to become empty and lifeless as a lot of long-term relationships seem to be.
One bit of relationship advice is to keep loving with abandon as you did when you were first together.
Even if you have been together for many years, you can go back to that feeling.
Here are a couple of ways you can begin doing that...
1. Remember physical touch? Try touching with the intention to connect.
So often we give someone a hug, especially those we love and see each other every day, without really connecting with that person as we hug. We're thinking about what we have to do that day. We're not even looking at our loved one!
Change your way of hugging by bringing your awareness to how much you love that person as you are hugging him or her. Don't say a word and watch how your relationship changes as you do this.
2. Make a loving connection throughout the day in some way.
If it isn't possible to physically phone, email or text your special person, simply direct your thoughts to how much you love and want to be with him or her. Actually build excitement to be with this other person. As your excitement builds, so will the other person's desire to be with you.
We often say that in order to have what you want you have to move toward it and not do things that take you away from it.
Start doing at least one thing today that will reignite your love for each other.
