As this post is the conclusion in this series about becoming soulmates. I will just give a short summary to recap the previous posts.

I discovered something great, you and your spouse or life-partner can become soulmates. You must just work on this dream. You have to stay focussed to make this a reality, but there are some distractions that can keep you from becoming soulmates.

The distractions that we looked at were

• LACK OF INSPIRATION

• LACK OF VISION

• PASSING PLEASURES

• PROCRASTINATION

• DETACHMENT

• ATTACHMENT

• HALF MEASURES

• TRAPPED BY THE URGENT

• DISCOURAGEMENT!

Distractions are the enemy of couples that want to be soulmates, the remedy is found in the following:

• Focus

• Paying attention

• Attunement

• To love and to cherish

• Eyeing the Prize

IF YOU DON'T INTENTIONALLY SET OUT TO BECOME SOUL MATES, IT'S UNLIKELY TO HAPPEN!

All of the above distractions and the first 4 remedies were discussed in the previous posts. If you missed it you can go back to my blog you will see the series on soulmates is numbered from 1 till today which is the 8th post.

Conclusion

Eyeing the price.

What is your number one goal in life? Maybe it's to send your kids to college or to build a retirement account. Maybe you're determined to raise godly children. Maybe you want to climb the corporate ladder of success.

Having goals is a good thing, because without goals you will be without focus - and we've already determined that focus is critical to being soulmates. Focussing on things other than what is critically important to you and your values can lead you astray.

This whole series has been to give up all distractions to your dream of becoming soulmates. Your task is to get rid off anything that distracts you from that prize. Clarity of purpose has always been the path to achieve one's vision. Focus, intention, and determination are the keys to victory. When you keep your eyes passionately on the prize - becoming a soulmate to your mate - you will not be disappointed.

Putting all of the above into practice!

• Identify the distractions robbing your marriage of vitality and meaning.
• Talk with your spouse about "housecleaning" you need to do in yourselves.
• With all of life's busyness, it may take effort to keep your spouse in the front of your mind and to think positively about him or her.

Begin to make the following part of your daily routine

• Call or text your spouse at midday just to say you're thinking about him or her.
• Make a point to thank God each day for your spouse and ask Him to bless his or her day.
• Kiss and hug a lot.
• Say I love you frequently and mean it.

• Surprise your spouse with a bouquet of flowers or a special meal that he really loves.
• Go on a weekly date night.
• Make love as often as possible.
• Make anniversaries and birthdays extra special.

Thank you for reading, may you succeed in making your mate, a soulmate.
