what are some ways to tell if you love will last? and if you are "soulmates?"?

Answer 1

1. Do you make each other laugh?
2. Are you inseperable?
3. Do you finish each other's thoughts?
4. Do you have a lot in common?
5. Do you have similar future goals?
6. Do you have a deep intimate connection?
7. Do you feel like you would throw up if your soul mate was ever with another person?
8. Do you feel like you can't live without this person in your life?
9. Do you wonder what this person is up to when you aren't with them?
10. Does this person make you feel loved, safe, and happy?

If you answered yes to all of these questions, then you might be a good match, but there is no such thing as soul mates. And there is no way for anyone to know if love will last, except to continually work on the relationship with this person. Relationships are constant work and need attention and care to help them continue to grow. It's a lot of compromising and being selfless all for the other person's happiness.

Answer 2

Ah, the first blush of love. Fun, isn't it? However, love that lasts will eventually ease into something a little less heady and a little more real. How do you know if it will? You don't. But you CAN take steps to raise your chances:

1. Decide to give time and effort to nurturing your relationship, no matter what gets in the way (kids, new job, your/his family, outside interests)
2. You can commit to keeping the sizzle going in the bedroom by being aware of the need for variety and playfulness.
3. You can decide that whatever temptation you might have, you are going to keep yourself for this person because you are committed to them.

Sound hard? It is...but so worth it when it works. Good luck.
Oh, by the way...get rid of the "soulmates" idea, it's a concept mainly used to sell books. If you are stuck on that, it blocks you from seeing the people around you with whom you don't have an instant connection. Who knows, in the long run one of them might turn out to be the love of your life. That is a much better thing than some mystical pre-ordained being with whom you think things will effortlessly work out. Love doesn't work without work.
Wishing you the best.

Answer 3

The first thing to do is to eliminate all ideas about "soulmates". They're a romantic's ideal, and it doesn't exist. Even if it does exist in some rare cases, you ruin every relationship you are in if he/she doesn't in some minute detail fit in with what your idea of a "soulmate" should be. Thus you ruin even a good relationship because you are looking for this fictional "soulmate".
Now to know if your love will last, that's a better question. Rule #1: Relationships are all about work. You have to work to make any relationship last. Even if you both are very compatible from the getgo, you both still need to work at it. And that start with being realistic about the relationship. If you can come through most fights and arguments with a deeper understanding and respect of each other, then most likely, it will last.

Answer 4

Wow, only one hopeless romantic so far with regard to soulmates. Lots of realists here.

Personally, I don't think that there is anyway to tell if "love will last", and I don't believe in soulmates.

That said, I will admit: I have encountered certain individuals - male and female - with whom I have perceived a certain connection or exceptional bond. It is rare. I would guess that in my life I have found five such individuals. However, as it might involve a female, I don't believe that such a connection is any evidence that love with such a person would last or that we are in some way mystically attached to one another, i. e. "soulmates".

Answer 5

There are no sure signs that will say if love will last. Feelings and people change over time....Change is part of life!

The idea of "soulmates" is very romantic,and we see it in novels and in the movies. But real life is different, because people are not perfect and they make mistakes and bad choices.

When choosing a partner, you should keep your eyes open and you should use your brain, too. (What was cute in a guy when he's 18 is no longer cute when he's 30.) That's when advice from healthy family and good friends comes in very handy!

Answer 6

Perhaps the surest sign is how well the two of you resolve your disagreements and conflicts.

If every time you have a disagreement, the two of you end up fighting a lot. Then your relationship probably won't last long.

But if you don't have a lot of disagreements. And any disagreement you have, you resolve it easily with your partner. Then you are probably each other's soulmates. And your relationship will probably last.

But if you haven't yet had any serious conflicts or disagreements. Then you don't yet know enough to judge your relationship well. In this case, you need to wait and see.

Answer 7

There is no such thing as soulmates. That kind of thinking will have you divorced before the 1st year is up.

To make a marriage last you have to communicate, trust, act honorably and with respect, compromise and don't sweat the petty stuff.

Answer 8

Your soulmate shares the same values, morals and lifetime marriage goals as you do.
The smaller details matter far less.
Being compatible in regard to those things will make or break a relationship everytime.

Answer 9

No such thing as soul mates, and no way to tell if love will last.
All you can do is do your best to know as much about the person you are going to marry.

Answer 10
