Sureness comes from results and checking those results on an ongoing basis. Partner for life? Your initial decision is whether you can continue to love this person. There might be a number of factors in that. Do you communicate? Will you take the steps to keep communicating? And when you are both older, will you still be attracted to one another? You can't see into the future, but you can decide whether to give it your best try and whether you will keep trying. There will be tough times. Take that as a given. What will get the two of you through your tough times? A continued commitment to love and to communicate works better than anything else. Attraction isn't enough. Everyone gets older and pretty faces turn into wrinkles. If you still talk, you can still be friends. If you still love, you can still be committed. Or maybe the other way around. That's the key thing to agree on between the two of you. You sit down with your partner and you make an agreement that no matter what happens, you won't stop talking to each other. Then you say to yourself "This is someone that I can love forever." Then commence with the living happily ever after. Congratulations and good luck!

The answer, of course, is that one cannot do so.
It is quite rare that one can tell the future, so that any decision one makes is based on ones conjecture as to what the future might be. Without exception, things change, people change, and events of life cause one to change to meet those events as well. The paradoxical truth is that change is the only absolute on the physical plane of existence.
As for your partner for life. The reason religious books suggest that a marriage is for life is that it takes that long for one to work through all the problems caused between people who are married. Marriage is an opportunity to literally work through the subtle psychological programming within oneself relative to ones parents, but not everyone is up to such a challenge.
The answer to your question is.... one cannot do so.

It is more than just being sure for life....If you really love someone and feel happy with them then it is great. It doesnt mean that you will be happy with them for life. Sometimes things change, it is possible things will end in divorce. Just dont worry about it. Life your life today, respect your partner and weigh the good and the bad.

No one can sure for the decisions, we can calculatively take the steps under the circumstances and stuck till they proves rite by the time. But yu no body can take the place of GOD, he is the ultimately the final authority.

life is all about taking decisions and living with the consequences.when a decision gives proper consequences we call it positive decision and the reverse is negative and is termed as a mistake.again you can only learn from your mistakes.so every decision somewhere becomes a right decision in the long journey of life.
