I've been with my wife for over four years now and I can't remember exactly when I knew she was the one for me, it just seems like I always knew. What's your experience with knowing that you are in love? Does it happen slowly over time or all at once? Have you ever been wrong?

We all say that love becomes family after long period.And it's like yesterday you've started to know each other.lol,i feel like this is the feeling that everyone would want.It makes you feel comfortable and also stable.I think it does really happen slowly over time.

Love is an entirely different feeling that can not remain hidden for long. This happens slowly over the time because the one that happens too fast is not love but infatuation. I hope you know true love from the very moment it happens.

there is no clear sign that it is love. it is not a formula that one can devise and solve. it is not a lost thing that can be found. it is not a discovery. it is something that one finds himself/herself in the better situation because the person makes him/her a better person. if one is in this situation, i think it is what eople call love.

I guess at first it is really hard to tell whether what we feel for someone is love or just infatuation. Sometimes it does happens slowly, especially if the person loves us so much and takes good care of us then we eventually fall in love with the person.

I know it when my heart and mind never stop thinking about him. I met my husband in our class and never thought that he is the one for me. I remembered i don't even know him even were in the same class of 6 months and I regret that. Until one day he became our group leader and slowly knew him as a good person. At first i never thought that I going to love again because my heart was broken during that time but I did. I only knew that I love him when he kiss me and i feel that his lips was still in my cheek for long time and until now I feel the same.

Its different, some can fall in love after a few days and some are after a decade or so but the thing is we will fall in love. My experience of knowing that I'm in love is that I become very concern about that particular person for almost no reason at all. You will always thinking on what she is doing right now or if she's thinking of you. There is also that whenever you see her there is some sort of reaction going through your chest like a shock and also the blushing. Anyway i really think love should not base on a persons feeling as it can just go away, it should be according to your free will.

Being in love I guess for me is kinda hard before, when I met my partner I was in a 11 year relationship, luckily that 11 year relationship has ended. Then I get to know my current partner, she's one of my friends and I must admit, I got struck by her personality, I am madly in love with my partner now and were in a course of building our lives together, for 4 years, it never came to the point that I experienced slowing or feeling that I was wrong.
