If we receive comfort and support where there was once hurt, it feels so good; it feels like we have a “soulmate.”
If you want to have a soulmate it’s easier to act in the way you want a soulmate to behave toward you. Find out about the things that hurt him or her as a young person. Find ways to empathize and comfort those hurt places.
Another example: Dan’s father didn’t let him have money of his own and or allow him to make decisions, even about what clothes to buy. His wife gave him advice about how to spend money and they argued about financial matters.
If she fully understood his sensitivity toward being told what to buy, she could support him in making decisions, encouraging him to recognize his feelings, and come to careful decisions. She could grow in empathy for Dan and he could grow in making wise decisions. They would feel like soulmates.
