For me it was not so overwhelmingly powerful as when I was originally baptized by fire [at age 16, even tho I was baptized and confirmed at age 8]. It was more of a profoundly peaceful reassurance. Because of this, I wonder if I had received CE previously but not accepted it or understood it.
Being sealed by the Holy Spirit of Promise to your soul mate is a very worthy goal. It has much to do with your ability to spiritually search together and to truly love one another and others more than oneself. You must be a unit, synergistically serving others.
I cannot say I have a recipe other than to pray,study and ponder together and have your companionship inventories faithfully. You may find it helpful to pray vocally in the same prayer as moved upon by the Spirit. What this looks like: You start the prayer and she interjects her heartfelt thoughts vocally and you interject your thoughts also-finishing each other's sentences as it were.
I hope this helps. Think about it and discuss it with her. Most of this stuff comes naturally and is not forced.
May God Bless you. Your honest desires will surely be fulfilled
