To recapitulate
We perceive a deep connection among couples and so we call them soul mates as soul connection is beyond emotional connectivity. Although there is discord on the emotional level, a deeper connection exists. Then we recognize that no one is away from us and that we are part of them, and they are part of us. It is an evolution of human existence, the human consciousness.

FAQs on how Sudarshan Kriya benefits couples
When you practice Sudarshan Kriya (SK) regularly, it brings down stress biomarker levels - hormone cortisol and blood lactate which is responsible for stress in your life. SK uplifts feel-good or mood-lifting hormones like dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins. When stress reduces, you feel happy with yourself and your life partner. When you feel good in life, you care about the people around you and your partner.
Research shows physical & mental health benefits are often from the first session. And results are cumulative; they grow stronger over time. When a couple is healthy, both physically and mentally, they share a lively and lovable relationship.
For instance, your mental health symptoms can make you feel lethargic, impact your ability to express empathy, or cause feelings of anxiety and isolation. Then it can cause codependency or even resentment of your partner.
With better physical health, your brain chemicals (endorphins, dopamine, adrenaline, and endocannabinoid) associated with happiness are also on a higher side. For instance, couples can explore common interests, intimacy, etc. in a much better way. Such individuals make a happier couple.
With optimism and life satisfaction, couples tend to let go of each other’s mistakes, are patient towards the partner, look for the best in each other, and be a helping hand in the spiritual growth of each other.
The effects of Sudarshan Kriya last between life partners. In one study cited by Prevention Magazine, not only did anxiety reduce 44%, but this state of reduced anxiety lasted for six months. Results from studies on people with PTSD and depression also showed sustained effects. See details and references at Sudarshan Kriya.
Sudarshan Kriya (SK) impacts your perspective. Instead of fighting over trivial issues, you feel grateful for how your partner cares for you. SK improves patience. So you give a patient ear to what your spouse wants to share. SK increases empathy. Thus the couple develops belongingness to each other. With the enhancement of such qualities, the frequency of fights comes down, and if at all the couple fights, they end in compassion and humor.
While breathing happens automatically, most of us are unaware that working with the breath can give us the ability to manage our minds and emotions. Every emotion you experience has a corresponding rhythm in your breath. By changing the rhythms of breath, you can change your emotions. The heart of The Art of Living Happiness Program, Sudarshan Kriya, uses specific rhythms of breath to get you unstuck and take you effortlessly into a state of meditation.
