How do you know if you love someone?

Question

Not just as a friend but more than that, what are things that you may feel, what are things you feel?

Answer 1

If you say yes to all these things then you love her:


-you'll love her even if she gained 200 pounds
-you'll love her even if she got pimples all over her face
-you'll love her even if she became disabled
-you'll love her even if she got bad grades
-you'll love her even if she lost her job
-you'll love her even if she did something wrong
-you know for sure that you'll be happy spending eternity with her, that even if she becomes wrinkly and old and fat, you will think that she is the most beautiful person in the UNIVERSE

Answer 2

The moment you think you love with someone ask yourself these questions.

Would I still love them if they...

1) were 200 pounds heavier?
2) were happier in love with someone else?
3) made less money?

Often times, it is mainly infatuation and fascination that someone feels. It takes more time to develop into a committed, unconditional love. Scary thought is that I know too many couples that have tied the not , yet do not have those deep feelings for the other.

Answer 3

You will know you REALLY or TRULY love a person if you are willing and able to go a mile of sacrifice, to go deeper than sex, to be with that person in sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer, to be able to sacrifice even your own happiness just for the person to be happy even if it means losing that person.

I found an article on the net, I hope this can be useful:

EVERY relationship has a cycle. In the beginning, you fell in love with your spouse. You anticipated their call, wanted their touch, and liked their idiosyncrasies.



Falling in love with your spouse wasn't hard. In fact, it was a completely natural and spontaneous experience. You didn't have to DO anything. That's why it's called "falling" in love... because it's happening TO YOU.

People in love sometimes say, "I was swept of my feet." Think about the imagery of that __expression. It implies that you were just standing there; doing nothing, and then something came along and happened TO YOU.

Falling is love is easy. It's a passive and spontaneous experience.



But after a few years of marriage, the euphoria of love fades. It's the natural cycle of EVERY relationship. Slowly but surely, phone calls become a bother (if they come at all), touch is not always welcome (when it happens), and your spouse's idiosyncrasies, instead of being cute, drive you nuts.



The symptoms of this stage vary with every relationship, but if you think about your marriage, you will notice a dramatic difference between the initial stage when you were in love and a much duller or even angry subsequent stage.



At this point, you and/or your spouse might start asking, "Did I marry the right person?" And as you and your spouse reflect on the euphoria of the love you once had, you may begin to desire that experience with someone else. This is when marriages breakdown. People blame their spouse for their unhappiness and look outside their marriage for fulfillment.



Extramarital fulfillment comes in all shapes and sizes. Infidelity is the most obvious. But sometimes people turn to work, church, a hobby, a friendship, excessive TV, or abusive substances.



But the answer to this dilemma does NOT lie outside your marriage. It lies within it.

I'm not saying that you couldn't fall in love with someone else. You could. And TEMPORARILY you'd feel better. But you'd be in the same situation a few years later. Because (listen carefully to this):



THE KEY TO SUCCEEDING IN MARRIAGE IS NOT FINDING THE RIGHT PERSON; IT'S LEARNING TO LOVE THE PERSON YOU FOUND.



SUSTAINING love is not a passive or spontaneous experience. It'll NEVER just happen to you. You can't "find" LASTING love. You have to "make" it day in and day out. That's why we have the __expression "the labor of love." Because it takes time, effort, and energy. And most importantly, it takes WISDOM. You have to know WHAT TO DO to make your marriage work.



Make no mistake about it. Love is NOT a mystery. There are specific things you can do (with or without your spouse) to succeed with your marriage.



Just as there are physical laws of the universe (such as gravity), there are also laws for relationships. Just as the right diet and exercise program makes you physically stronger, certain habits in your relationship WILL make your marriage stronger. It's a direct cause and effect. If you know and apply the laws, the results are predictable... you can "make" love.



Love in marriage is indeed a "decision"... not just a feeling.

If you do love someone you won't have to ask other people how you will know. This is not meant to sound like a smart _ss answer. It is just a fact from someone who knows.
