The Truth about Soul Ties & How to Break Them

Rebuilding Us: Marriage Podcast

Today's guest, Tweeny Randall, helps to shed light on the concept of soul ties. Maybe you’ve felt ‘stuck’ after a past relationship, or perhaps you’re curious how soul ties form—even outside of a romantic relationship. Tweeny and I share experience and research on how soul ties affect us in relationships.

Episode Highlights

• What is a Soul Tie?
  Tweeny breaks it down simply: Soul ties are spiritual connections between people, formed not just through romantic or sexual relationships, but even in deep friendships or parent-child bonds. There are healthy soul ties, and there are unhealthy ones that can hold us back.

• Recognizing Unhealthy Patterns:
  Unhealthy soul ties often look like idolatry or dysfunction—when someone’s mood or approval dictates your happiness, or when a past relationship leaves you unable to move forward. If you’ve ever thought, “Why can’t I get over this person?”—this might be why.

• Freedom Through Forgiveness & Spiritual Release:
  Tweeny shares her real-life process helping a young woman break free from an unhealthy connection.

• Practical Tips for Your Marriage:
  Even strong couples need boundaries. Tweeny suggests radical honesty—especially when attractions or resentments pop up. Keep secrets out of your relationship and invite accountability.

• Prayer for Breaking Soul Ties:
  For those ready to be free, Tweeny leads a powerful prayer (also available on her blog!) to help you sever unhealthy spiritual connections and restore your joy in Christ.
