A spiritual connection when you’re in love with your partner is one of the best ways to build a healthy, romantic relationship! Here are four tips for increasing your soul-to-soul bond with the man or woman you love.
Before the tips, a quip:
“Marriage should lead to a profound friendship of spirit, which will endure in the next world.” ~ Shoghi Effendi, Lights of Guidance.
And that’s one key to increasing spirituality in your love relationship: focus on the idea that you’re building a bond that will last long after your physical bodies are no longer here.

4 Easy Ways to Strengthen Your Spiritual Bond With Your Spouse
1. Pray or meditate regularly together. Focusing on God, Buddha, a Higher Power, or whatever touches your soul not only opens your heart and soul…it connects you to whoever you’re communing with. There’s something about praying as a husband and wife that deepens your relationship, especially if you’re open, honest, and vulnerable. Make it a habit to pray or meditate as a couple regularly.
2. Read books about spirituality together. The last book my husband and I read together was Wayne Dyer’s 10 Secrets for Success and Inner Peace. Every night before falling asleep, we spent 15 minutes taking turns reading out loud from that book. This increased our spiritual connection, our knowledge about how the Universe operates according to Dr Dyer, and taught us things we never knew about each other.
3. Find other ways to be spiritual as a couple. When do you feel closest to God or a Higher Power? You don’t necessarily have to go to church, synagogue, or a temple…you can feel spiritually empowered while you’re hiking, sailing, gardening, watching the fire on a cold snowy night, or knitting. To bond on a soul level with your spouse, do activities that you both find spiritually uplifting.
4. Talk about spirituality or religion. Learn how to discuss both the controversial and the mundane aspects of spirituality (if there are any mundane aspects!). If you attend a church, for instance, you could talk about how to make your religion more spiritual. If one of you’re ill, you could discuss how to include your doctor in your prayers for healing. Be open to discussing different viewpoints and disagreements – because there is no right answer when it comes to spiritual matters!

I love this article, Laurie – it touches my heart just thinking about people building a spritual relationship together. I believe that when we strengthen the spiritual aspect of our relationship we can handle all the ups and downs of the relationship that happen over time.
During difficult times with my hubby and I, we have both surrendered our relationship over to our higher power and suddenly things change for the better. I think the whole process of being spiritually senior instead of ego dominant supports us to have healthy relationships, finances, career, health and so on.
I had to laugh though with your first sentence “…when you’re in love with your partner” as I hope people are in love with their partner – why are they in the relationship if they are not!? But, I also think that during those times of feeling unloving towards a partner is the best time to connect spiritually (there have been times when I’m really irritated by my hubby, but when I connect with him from myself as spirit to him as spirit I touch into such a deep affinity for him and I realize it is my ego self that is irritated so I can then laugh and let it go).
