How do you know..?

Question

How do you know your truly in love with someone? Also, do you agree with people that say it takes a few years before knowing if that person is the one you are going to spend the rest of your life with...

Answer 1

You know your in love when you can't stop thinking about them, they make you smile just hearing their name. You dream about your life with them and even children and you would take a bullet for them. That's love. Also you can't keep your hands off each other.

Answer 2

You will know that you are truly in love with someone when you can take her as she is but with the hope that you may change her for the better if you find something in her that is not to your liking. Aso, when that person is the very cause of your inspiration and happiness in life. When you search your heart and soul and both of them tell you that your life will be empty without that person you love at the moment, then you will know that you have true love for that person.

If you are that kind of person who wants to know the total person first before you get married to her, you will really have to spend a few years doing that. But I assure you that when you marry that person, still you will discover many things about her that you have not known before you married her. Why? Because people change. What a person is right now may not be true to him or her after a few months or years. This fact is a surprise to many but no matter what we do, this is true and you'd better ask people around you about it.

What if you meet someone, have a relationship with her, love her truly for only three months and all of a sudden she wants to get married and tells you that if you don't marry her immediately, she will have to break off with you for one reason or another? Will you not marry her just because you have not known her for long?

That it takes a few years before knowing if that person is the one you are going to spend the rest of your life with is subjective which means that it depends if you are that kind of person or not.

For me, it doesn't matter whether you've known the person you would marry for a short time or many years because I believe that what matters most in marrying someone is the deep and true love you both have for each other for frue love is unconditional and it lasts through understanding and forgiveness.

Answer 3

if you truly are in love with someone there is a feeling of completeness and trust . you knew that the person is the one that you want to be with . when you are not together is like a part of you is missing. you have no reason to be jealous because the love is all you need to be sure. i do believe that before you fall in love that you become best friend first and then in time the love come in and you know when the time is by being together. it may take a few year or maybe one year but some time go by

Answer 4

Life in a never ending process of learning. You can be married to someone long enough but you still find out new things about the person. It is not the length of time that will decide whether someone is the right one for you. It is the spark between the both of you, to begin with. Are you longing to be with the person all the time? Is his or her presence makes you feel complete? And then , is there a willingness to give in, understand and respect one another? That is an indicator that you are in love. Lastly, if you are at the right age, then, you will be mature enough to make a marriage work. Good luck!

Answer 5

You know you're in love when you realize that being with that person will cost you something, and you're willing to pay. You know you're in love when the decision to be loving outweighs how you feel at any given moment. You know you're in love when you welcome the responsibilities of committment just as readily as you do the physical and emotional benefits of having someone special.

As to how long you should wait before deciding to spend the rest of your life with someone, that varies considerably between couples. My wife and I were engaged for four years, but I knew that I wanted to marry her after six months of dating (we needed the extra time to work through each of our individual issues, though). I believe that no one should get married before knowing each other for at least a year, but that's just my opinion.

Answer 6

Nobody can tell you that you are in love but you're own heart. Trust your feelings and make sure you know what you are getting yourself into before you make a big jump. The advice from my mother that I swore by, and relay to my friends, is to live with the person for at least 6 months before marriage. Living with them really shows what they are like on a day to day basis. You will see bad days, sad days, mad days, bad habits, and everything else that's easy to hide when you live appart. You'll know what you are getting "for better or for worse". Maybe you love them, but find that you can't live with them. Maybe she is a slob, or has no person hygiene, or she's lazy and won't clean unless company's comming, maybe she hates her life and wants you to fix it. You won't know if you jump in too soon.

Answer 7

Yes, spend a few years before committing.

Answer 8

They are all you can think about. You would run into a burning building to save them. your heart skips a beat when the walk into the room. Anticipation of their phone call, can't wait to hear there voice, you can spend hours on the phone with them and of there is silence between the two of you it is comfortable

Answer 9

You just know, I don't think it takes a few years at all. Sometimes it can happen very quickly and you just know in your heart.

Answer 10

there is no cinder-fella story here......but i think you can fall in love at first sight, but a happy ever after ending is another story ...love is a chance and if you don't take it that ant living.
