Spiritual Connection in Romantic Relationships

Some couples find themselves surprised to discover a spiritual connection in their relationship. They weren’t necessarily looking for it, and yet they found themselves blessed by it. On the other hand, some individuals won’t consider starting a romantic relationship if they don’t feel a spiritual connection. For some singles spiritual connection stands as a non-negotiable as they seek a partner, or more often a soulmate.

A spiritual connection brings a unique and powerful experience to a romantic connection. Quite often our spiritual connections take our breath away and open us into realms of living and loving that we never imagined possible. As a matter of fact, many couples who find themselves in a relationship with a spiritual connection say, “I never knew it could be this good.“ At the same time, we’ll see that sometimes our spiritual connections and soulmate relationships can also bring unexpected challenges. We’ll again see that those challenges offer, or are, the very ignition point of many, many, many unexpected blessings.

Here we’ll start off by giving the term spiritual connection meaning. Then we’ll look specifically at the unique aspects of soulmate spiritual connections and spiritual love connections. We’ill continue by identifying the signs of a spiritual connection, including in our sexuality. Finally we’ll consider spiritual connection as a path to awakening and divine union.

Let’s dive into this juicy topic…

What is a spiritual connection?

As humans we can connect with one another in many ways, on many levels, and in many unique dimensions. As we well know, some people connect romantically on a physical, hormonal, and sexual level, yet lack the alignment or capacity to sustain a romantic partnership. Others may connect through their emotional wounding or fears, sometimes sharing comparable traumatic experiences. Similarly, romantic partners may connect and choose each other based on hero, rescuer, or savoir dynamics – sometimes being the rescuer and sometimes being the rescued. Other times we connect intellectually with shared wisdom or intellectual pursuits. All of these ways and levels of connecting stand distinct, although sometimes simultaneous with, spiritual connection.

Inherently a spiritual connection happens when the meeting, alliance, or relationship between two people feels as if it was spiritually or divinely “ordained“ or “meant to be.” The meeting or connection may often occur in ways that seem unfathomable, as if the circumstances couldn’t have been orchestrated through anything other than spiritual intervention. A relationship of this type holds a higher sacred purpose that neither person in the connection may understand upon initial meeting. In most cases, the purpose of that spiritual relationship is much greater than the experience of the two people in it. 

To take this a bit deeper let’s look at what happens when we have a soulmate spiritual connection. In this case, yes the couple may likely have come together to serve a higher collective purpose. Yet, simultaneously or even first, as soulmates, they found each other and stepped into romantic relationships in order to evolve each other’s souls. They have come together as both a safe space for one another, and also as conscious triggers or “button pushers” that illuminate their partner’s barriers to true love and a spiritual love connection. The spiritually connected pair’s shared experiences and actions happen in such a way as to invite the two beloveds to step beyond their inner constructed limitations, and into the fullest and highest expression of themselves and their souls.

Signs of a spiritual connection 

As you might desire to identify when you actually have a spiritual connection with someone or know how to recognize one when it arrives, it can help to know the common signs of a spiritual connection. The following list offers key indicators that you may have found a spirtual deep soul connection.

1. A sense of synchronicity or divine timing in your meeting or connecting.
2. A familiarity that seems to span more than this lifetime.
3. As you look into one other’s eyes you quickly see or sense the light of the soul beyond the body’s form. 
4. An ability to feel and understand each other well beyond words.
5. A knowing that you came together in service of each other, as well as to humanity.
6. The ability to see, and consciously lovingly call out, the barriers that the other person has built against love.
7. You push each other’s buttons in a way that may impulsively want to make you run, push away, withdraw, or in some way blow up the connection. You get that a deeper part of you knows the importance of staying.
8. Working through conflict you find that your spiritual connection is deepened into an even stronger communion as you consciously navigate those upsets.
9. You know you’re in service to one another yet this generosity happens without self abandonment or losing yourself. 
10. You have regular experiences of awe, bales of laughter, and healing tears.
11. You can’t possibly describe the love that you feel.

Going deeper still, when you have a romantic spiritual connection with someone it can also include a conscious sexual dynamic. So let’s take a moment to explore a few of the signs of spiritual connection sexually.

1. There’s a frequent transcendent, out of body or beyond the body, experience in your lovemaking.
2. Your bodies regularly find an effortless rhythm that allows your spirits and souls to move your bodies rather than any conscious intention or choice from the mind. 
3. You can feel the presence of the Divine in the bedroom with you. You feel it holding space for you as well as inviting your shared surrender to it.
4. You know that at times your lovemaking serves a greater purpose. You might even use sex magic to amplify the goodness in your life and in the world around you. 
5. You realize that your physical intimacy and lovemaking has become a pathway to a deeper divine connection for both of you individually and as partners. 

As you reflect on your current relationship, or as you seek to manifest your soulmate, you’re invited to consider these signs and even feel them — as if they are here now, even before they take physical, energetic, emotional, or spiritual form. Spiritual connections have immense power within us, between us, and beyond us — whether we are consciously aware of it or not — whether we have met our spiritual soulmate yet or not. What if you can call in and cultivate a spiritual connection with a partner, present or future, starting now? What if?

A path to awakening and divine union

When it comes to attracting, recognizing, embracing, and sustaining spiritual connections in romantic relationships, we must know that the path will not always offer rainbows and unicorns. Many people expect a spiritual connection to bring light and love all the time. Yet again, as the quote from A Course in Miracles implies, a true spiritual connection is here to help us reveal all the barriers we’ve built against love, all the barriers we’ve built against the sacred divine presence that embraces us all. For it is this secret divine presence that is true love.

If you find the courage to say yes, to step in fully, when a spiritual love connection presents itself to you, you will find yourself on a path of sacred awakening. You might be called into a divine masculine embodiment, or you might be invited to open into the presence of the divine feminine within you. Or maybe it’s both. Maybe it’s a calling beyond your greatest or wildest imagination. The reason you’re called to a spiritual connection matters not. What matters is your willingness to say yes. Your willingness to accept the invitation into your greatest self, your greatest love, and your greatest life.

In closing, we must mention that spiritual connection and divine union often happen simultaneously. When we say yes, when we open our hearts, when we step into the mystery and the magic of the unknown, we may just have the most breathtaking, indescribable experience of falling into the truest love. When you say yes, you also finally have the opportunity to embrace the sacred inseparable union of your own humanity and divinity – the place where true self love lives. 

Further still, in our courageous opening and surrender, we may experience the ecstasy of the moments where — whether gazing into each other’s eyes or intertwined in lovemaking — you just might lose sight of where one body begins and the other ends. These blessings remain just beyond form, just beyond what can be seen with the eyes, waiting for us to trust enough to say yes to real spiritual connection.
