While a soul tie will develop between any two people who are open to one another, the strength of those soul ties depends upon how deeply involved you become with another person. You can become soul tied to family, friends, co-workers, and the leadership you are under.
The Power of The First Bond can be positive energy or negative energy!
We all want to be loved in return for our willingness to love others.
Emotional connections and physical ones are both important. However, the physical is not just sex. It's a hug, massage, little kiss, reassurance of the emotional bond without having to take your clothes off.
Healthy sex life is important too if it can be had. If not then the rest of the relationship should be bound by the stronger bonds. When we connect with someone our minds, heart, and spirit has a way interlocking with the other person’s thoughts, heart, and mind on a spiritual level.
Not all soul ties are ungodly, however, and soul ties can be formed without sexual intercourse. Soul ties can be formed in relationships where two people are just close friends as was the case with David and Jonathan.
Jonathan Befriends David
1After David had finished speaking with Saul, the souls of Jonathan and David were knit together, and Jonathan loved him as himself.-1 Samuel 18:1-Berean Study Bible

Food For Thought….
There is a communication of soul to soul and spirit to spirit.
The stronger the bonding or soul ties between friends the deeper and more lasting the relationship is. The emotional and mental strengths of one sustain the other in times of adversity. (Difficulties or misfortune) and allows them to rejoice with the other in the time of triumph.
Emotional Intimacy….
There are times when we seek an emotional bond - We crave closeness, warmth, and comfort from another human being. We want and seek to have a special connection with another person on a deep emotional level. (Wolf, 2014)
Sexual Intimacy….Wolf (2014), states that sexual intimacy involves a degree of vulnerability and trust - for some more than others, and in some scenarios more than others. (Have you ever considered why a "quickie" with your clothes on maybe "hot" but less intimate than slowly undressing with your partner? Think about it. It's a matter of exposure and vulnerability.
Keeping in mind that intimacy isn't a "destination" but rather, an experience or set of feelings.
Indeed sexual relationships form extremely strong soul ties, even as strong as blood relationships (your mother, brothers, father, and then grandparents), followed by friendship with people who are not your relatives. If you have children, the soul ties to them will probably be the strongest of all.
Sex creates a “soul-tie” between two people forming the most intimate of all human relationships.
Maybe soul ties are one of the reasons why in the West most families are dysfunctional and there are so many divorces. The husband feels that the wife does not give her entire love to him, and the wife feels in the same way about her husband (Rich, 2011).
They are together but they seem distant, unavailable to each other. They don’t understand each other fully and they don’t know why this is so. Well, this happens because both of their souls are tied to other peoples’, so they can’t be fully together (Rich, 2011).
The bottom line is -The fewer soul ties you have, the freer and happier you feel, so make sure that if you ever do have them, they are made with the people who are truly special.
