Are you (or your twin flame) already married? What does that mean for the journey? What happens next?
Twin flames often face prior marriages or relationships when they begin their journey to union. Sometimes these can be soulmates there to help further the path (even when it doesn’t seem like it), and sometimes it can be a false twin flame, slowing things down.
It might be that you don’t reach union in this lifetime. It might be that their current relationship won’t last. It’s hard to give a one-size-fits-all answer here, but I do have some advice on navigating forward.
If you’re trying to understand the connection you’re dealing with, take our twin flame test and let us help you understand your path forward.
What Not to Do
I’ve talked about twin flames in other relationships before, and the standard advice holds true here.
- Don’t blame yourself, your journey or your mirror soul. This doesn’t mean something has gone wrong.
- Certainly, don’t blame the person your twin flame is married to. They’ve done nothing wrong either.
- Treat this like you would any other separation stage. Make sure you fully understand what a false twin flame is because it’s likely that one (or both) of you are married in order for you to learn something from this experience.
Perhaps you will get together and reach a physical union later in this lifetime. Perhaps you spend this lifetime married to someone else to prepare you for union further down the line. Whatever you do, you need to avoid causing pain to anyone involved.
That’s just bad karma that no journey to union needs.
Challenges of Being with a Married Twin Flame
Being with a married twin flame can be difficult, but it is possible. It requires patience and understanding from both parties involved and trust in the universe that everything will work out in the end.
Any twin flame separation has challenges. When you have to see them with someone else… that brings about some specific problems.
One of the biggest challenges is dealing with feelings of jealousy or insecurity when one partner is still legally married to someone else. This can be especially hard if there are children involved or if one partner has strong religious beliefs that prevent them from getting divorced.
In these cases, it may be necessary for both partners to take a step back and evaluate their relationship before taking any further steps toward reuniting. Move slowly.
Then you need to find ways to stay connected while apart. Twin flames are connected at the higher levels no matter how physically (or romantically) apart you both are. Keeping this communication open can become… tricky.
The third challenge is learning how to cope with separation from your twin flame without letting negative emotions get in the way of progress toward your spiritual path. Even though being apart can feel like torture sometimes, each person needs to focus on self-care activities and take advantage of this separation.
Remember, you’re currently apart for a reason. If we do nothing to prepare, this stage won’t end.
What to Do If Your Twin Flame is Already Married
It can be heartbreaking to discover that your twin flame is already married. Even worse to be constantly confronted with it when you understand the level of the connection and perhaps they don’t yet.
It’s a difficult situation to navigate, and it can feel like you’re stuck in limbo with no way out. But don’t despair. There are things you can do to cope with the separation from your twin flame and keep yourself on the path of spiritual growth.
First, focus on self-growth, healing, and self-love.
This is an important step for anyone who has encountered their twin flame, especially if they are already married. Take this time to work on yourself; practice meditation or yoga, read inspiring books or take up a new hobby that brings joy.
Don’t focus on them. Don’t focus on their current partner. Focus on you.
Second, trust the universe’s plan and let go of attachment to the outcome. Trust in the divine timing. Understand that although this journey may take longer than expected, it does not mean it will never happen – only when both souls are ready will true reunion occur naturally without force or manipulation from either side.
All of this was already planned out by both of you on the higher levels, way, way before you ever met. It might suck for the moment, but it was part of the plan. It serves a purpose.
Thirdly, stay open-minded about how reuniting could look. Keep an open mind regarding what kind of union would best serve each other’s highest good while staying aligned with the soul mission and being prepared for when the timing is right.
The Important Bit
It’s obviously challenging and difficult when your twin flame is already married. How quickly you’re able to move beyond this and what happens is up to how you react in both the short and long term.
It requires patience, trust, understanding and love to make it through the journey of reuniting two souls. Although the path may take longer than expected if true love is present then the universe will align its way for reunion.
