Your relationship feeds and nourishes you with companionship and
love. And if you are like most women, you want to keep the juices
flowing, the intimacy building, communication steady, and the commitment
on a solid foundation. But what about the deeper concerns – your souls
and the soul of the relationship? You will want to grow your
relationship so that you are always moving closer, touching each other's
hearts and deepening your connection at the level of your souls. You
yearn for a soulful relationship.
The care and feeding of your souls and the soul of the relationship
may take a bit of creative thought. You'll want to introduce the right
ingredients to make your relationship soulful and meaningful. Here are 8
creative ways to light up your partner's soul and turn your
relationship into a soulful one.
- Talk About What Matters Most to Him
Draw out your man's soul by asking what really
matters to him, what he wants for himself and for you. Your mate might
have forgotten the dreams he had for his life when he was 20. Perhaps he
dreamed of sailing around the world, writing a book, or standing in
front of a schoolroom full of kids. These dreams fueled his soul at the
time and by getting him to remember them now, you might just reignite
them in his mind to accomplish in the future. If he accomplishes just
one of his dreams, you perhaps will have helped him fulfill his soul's
purpose.
- Treat Him to Some "Soul Food"
Write "I love you" with mustard on a hotdog, with
ketchup on an opened-face hamburger, or with chocolate sauce on a plate
topped with a strawberry and you'll have given him a bit of food for
thought on how much you love and adore him. Treating you mate with "soul
food love signatures" will do more than satisfy his palate. He will be
licking his lips for more of you.
- Dance to Soul Music
There is nothing like slow dancing to soul music to coax out the soulful lover in your mate. Start with something like Love and Happiness by Al Green, turning up the volume and dancing cheek-to-cheek. Move on to Try a Little Tenderness by Otis Redding and hum along in his ear. Then top it off with Sexual Healing
by Marvin Gaye and you have set the stage for an evening of soulful
lovemaking. The loving feel-good lyrics of these "oldies but goodies"
will put the soulful groove back into your romantic relationship.
- Touch Him with Your Soul Through Conversation
The deeper you go in conversations the more he'll
be touched by your soul. Spend an hour cuddled up on couch telling him
your fondest childhood memories such as, the things your granddad said
that turned your head around or how your mother fixed you oatmeal
dotting the top with raisins to make a smiley face. Tell him secrets you
have never shared with him before, your inner most feelings and
philosophy about life. Lead him on a journey through the storyline of
your life and he will travel into the depths of your heart and soul and
emerge with a bigger piece of you than he ever thought he could have.
- Share Your Dreams with Each Other Every Morning
Dreams are the storylines of your souls told in
the soul's language of symbols and elements. In dreams, your fears,
sorrows, as well as your joys are revealed. By sharing your dreams with
each other, you gain entry into the terrain of your emotions, ones that
fuel you or those that hinder you from expressing what's in your hearts.
Also, dreams can reveal a lot about the two of you and your
relationship dynamics. Sharing your dreams helps you both maintain that
important emotional connection as well as bringing your histories and
future together to light.
- Treat Him to a Psychic or Astrology Reading
Yes, your guy probably has many unanswered
questions. Maybe he's wondering about his next career move, how to deal
with his demanding boss or even the mystery of his connection with you
like, if you were together in a past life. The gift of a professional
psychic reading will not only answer the important questions but also
open his mind up to the spiritual dimensions of his soul and the hidden
side of life. With a soul reading, for instance, he can gain insight
into the many facets of his personality, his soul's legacy and a
storehouse of talents he may not have known he had.
Because you love him as much as you do, you wish you
could give him the sun, moon and the stars. And you can. An
astrological transit and progression reading will help him understand
the energies effecting the situations at hand and help him set his
course for the future. The information he comes out with will be as
meaningful for you as it is for him.
- Get Him to Read to You From His Favorite Book
The intimate and soulful moments you create now
will become your fondest memories in the future. Hours of reading aloud
to each other will nourish your relationship, especially if the book is
meaningful to both of you. Whether poetry, a suspense novel or love
story, the experience will slow you down and refocus you both on what is
important – spending quality and tender time together.
- Help Him Trace His Roots
Tracing your mate's family history can become a
yearlong research project for the two of you, one that will create hours
and hours of enjoyment and intrigue and surprise with each discovery.
Maybe you'll discover that his great grandmother's mother was a full
blood Cherokee or that his great grandmother was the first Black woman
to own a movie theatre in the US. You will be doing your part to give
him a sense of pride while at the same time growing your relationship
closer. The historical facts about his family may very well fill a book,
but more importantly the process will do a lot to make your
relationship a fulfilling one.
If you are with your soulmate, your souls are already deeply
connected. But if you want to continuously bring out the "soul" in your
relationship, you may have to think of even more creative ways move him
and groove him continuously towards your heart.
