How did you know it was true love?

I was talking to my sister the other day, and it struck me that what I was telling her about my relationship with my husband was my definition of true love. We all have our own definition of true love. My hubby and I have been together for over 6 years, and the first 4 were really hard. But after things got easier, we realized that we literally could not function without each other. I mean we spend 2 weeks apart at a time, and we talk on the phone every chance we get, and I make special trips to see him. And I do everything for him, laundry, pay the bills, manage our life, and he works and comes home to spend time with me and the kids. But the way we feel about each other, we just can't not be together. And when he falls asleep with his head in my lap, oh, my heart just beats so hard and I feel so much love. So how did you know that you found your true love? Was it love at first sight, or did it take years to for you to know it was your one true love?

I think its one of those things that you just know. I love my husband more than anything, and i knew after a week he was who i wanted to spend the rest of my life with. True love is when you want to be with that person 24/7 and you just cant picture your life without them.

I completely feel the same way. No other man would ever measure up to my husband, in any way.

Without my husband, there is just no picture. I love and adore him to much

True love gets generated from the mutual admiration.Admiration for the way your partner speaks,write,eats and does things.And when you find that you both have a same taste in almost everything it makes you irrestible to one another.And the next is caring.With all the above said things the caring is the ultimate thing that works as the super glue in the bondage of love.

wow, that is so good to hear that you are pretty in love with each other and that you really spend time and do stuff for each other. i think that true love is also a decision made by a couple to stay strong and steadfast and to stay loyal and loving to each other because all the romance will fade eventually but what would really be nice is that even if all the flames are gone, you still decide to be with each other and still decide to spend your lifetimes together.

Oh I don't think the romance will fade. I know sometimes it is some extra work to get the flames going, but the romance is still there.

I hope what I have is true love. He takes care of me and I take care of him, I always go by the saying, don't waste your time with the one you can live with, go for the one you can't live without. I feel that way about the man I'm with now.

That is so sweet. I feel the same way about my husband, and he feels the same about me. We had a test in our relationship a few years back, where we were forced to be apart. That lasted like 2 weeks and I packed up the kids and went to him. I literally was not functioning for those 2 weeks

I havn't been married yet,but i believe my bf is my true love.I have accepted him after his pursuing one year,during this time i mentioned his patience,love and care.With the time goes,i relized that he plays a important roles in my life,and there are more detailed feeling beyond words.I treat him as my family,and the same he did.Although we will argue with each other sometimes,but we love each other forever.

True love for me is when you accept the person for who he/she is, all of his faults and best attributes. I'm not married yet, but in my current beau, we accept each other, faults and all. We enjoy each other's company even if we just do simple things, and even though were apart, we still continue to love each other.

The chemistry my gf and I have was meant to be, that's all there is to it, I adore everything about her. The things we disagree on, we work out, compromise, try....we don't ever just give up or stay angry... there's too much to cherish to let something small, which is anything and anyone else get in the way of its fruition.No, it didnt take years, it only took about 3 months if that.

I agree one should never give up or stay angry. When we do fight, which is hardly ever, we usually walk away from it, then come back when we are calm. +

I've been with my boyfriend for 1 year and we've been living together for 8 months now. I feel that he is my one true love because I can't see myself without him. In my future and in the goals that I have in life, I see him there with me. And he feels the same way. I don't think that either one of us can be without each other. I'm sure we would survive, but we don't want that.

I don't know if it is true love; but I have said I found true love before. When I said that I was "falling in love" with a person. Since I have felt that many times in my life I think that we have many loves in our life. Each fits that point in time in our life.

love is patient,love is kind .it doesn't envy,it does not boast ,it is not proud. it is not rude,it is not self-seeking ,it is not easily angered. it keep no record of wrongs .love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth,i t always protects,always trusts ,always hopes ,always perseveres,ture love never fails.that is my opinion.

I appreciate your insight into what love is. And everything you said is so very true, and I find all these things in my relationship. But have you found your true love, do you see all these qualities in your relationship? I am giving you a plus because I really appreciate your insight, but you didn't answer the questions I posted. But man, you sure know what love is.

It took years for me to find out my one true love. I had few relationships before, which did not work, even if I gave my 200 percent. I was hurt more than 5x, before I finally found him. Now, I can finally say, I found my true love, because even if there were lots of problems which came our way, until now, we're still together. The love we had for each other, from the time we first committed to love each other, never changed. Though my family never liked him,because they are not rich and prominent in our town, we still fought for our love. We flew away together. Now we have a 2 month old baby girl. We've been through hard times, financially. But together, I know we can make it. We're happy now, together with our baby angel. I would say, that he is my true love because he makes me a better person. He drew me closer to God, and he helped me changed my bad attitudes like having bad temper. Thanks to him, and thanks to God, for giving him to me.... and I hope to spend the rest of my life with him and ofcourse, our baby!

I've never experience true love. At least I don't think so. I guess I will never know until I do. I thought I was in love once, however it was merely a figment of my imagination, and it broke my heart.
