How I Manage My Marriage…

My Wife and I Are Soulmates, But What Does That Really Mean?

My wife, Julie, and I are soulmates, but what does that really mean?

To me, all that means is that two people exist in a symbiotic space. There is work that has to be done for the relationship to succeed– even if you are soulmates.

We are still two individuals with desires, wants, and needs. It's important to recognize and respect these differences in any relationship.

I've realized that my dreams are my dreams, and I can't expect Julie to mirror them in her realm. We are unique individuals, and that's perfectly okay.

However, as time passes, a natural alignment occurs, bringing our dreams closer together.

Here is a great example of the alignment. In the past few years of our marriage, Julie has done an incredible job scaling her fashion brand, Julkee Fashion (something I had been intrigued by for years). Her patient and consistent approach has led to a point where today, I can be of service to her as she grows and scales.

Our dreams may have started off differently, but with time, they have aligned, and it feels truly special.

This journey has taught me a valuable lesson: with time, things change.

Patience and understanding are crucial elements that allow dreams to align. Supporting our spouses through their passions is paramount. By creating an environment where growth and harmony flourish, we support and respect each other's aspirations.

I encourage you to reflect on your relationships. Embrace the unique dreams and desires of your loved ones. Please give them the space to grow and follow their own paths. Doing so can cultivate a more profound connection that brings you closer together.

Remember, change is constant, and it often brings forth beautiful transformations. Allow time to work its magic, and be open to the unfolding possibilities.

Action Step of the Day → Think about one of your partner’s goals and express how much you admire their aspirations. It could be as simple as slipping a sentence into your daily conversation, but let them know they are appreciated.
