How do you know when it's true love?

You just 'know'. Being in love isn't something i can explain, i just know that i'm in love. I guess some clues are the fact that i 100% fancy my partner satill, after 6 years together, and still obssess about him all the time, miss him even when we're apart for a few hours, have the feeling that i can't live without him, constantly worry that something bad will happen to him when he goes out on his own (even just to the local shop!). Those sorts of things are the only way i can describe how you know you're in love with someone. But don't worry, once you are, you'll know about it! There'll be no mistaking that true feeling of being in love if you've ever lucky enough to be.

I define true love as loving someone no matter what they do. When you think of them every day, no matter how busy you get. How a single smile or laugh from them can somehow make your entire day perfect and then some. That's just how I define it. This kind of love never seems to fade, and never seems to change. Though it CAN grow.

For the average person, love is a manifestation of the violent, possessive doership of the ego. Whereas for the spiritual person, it is not a sentiment at all, but a state of mind in which love exists to the degree in which the selfish element is transcended. According to the average person, the desire for possession is the criterion, the touchstone of sincerity or reality by which love is to be judged. Even the mother is accused of not loving her child if she is not particularly possessive towards her baby. Love - the sentiment, and love - the non-affective state of mind, where a subject-object relationship does not exist, are infused by the same force. Though basically not different, one is steeped in egoistic involvement, the other unaffected and pure. The former is exemplified by the love of a man for a woman, the latter, sometimes called divine love or caritas, is a luminous pool of light and not a beam focused on one object at a time

The true love is our creator :-) As an opposite of us, we must love someone that same love with us , that is both love the Creator of us. And that will be the same purpose of us in life and both fear to do sin, obey God and then can live happily and peacefully ever after even there's so much trouble and obstruction ahead. :-)

I knew I was in love with my boyfriend when we spent an entire week together, 24 hours a day and did not argue, get tired of each other, or even think, wow, I need some time to myself. I have done things in this relationship that I always said I would never do.. (like handle our finances, do his laundry, make dinner, make lunches) When I started doing that without expecting anything in return.. that was love to me. Its being unselfish, being willing to give your all and not expect anything in return. And I'm not saying I do all this and get nothing in return.. I'm saying its the first time I've done it without expectations. Its a different feeling.

When I met my boyfriend, the very first time i saw him, spoke to him, looked into his eyes, i knew. I just knew. It was like an electric shock that made me say "What the hell was that???!" Although the circumstances of our meeting were all "wrong" by societies standards, I knew that we were meant to be together. Both of us fought our feelings for a long time, because of our circumstances and fear, but once we opened up to them and got honest, it has been pure bliss and i think of nothing else. I know people say you have to get to know a person to love them, but i disagree to an extent; perhaps to have a relationship with that person, yes, but love is truly blind, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, etc. Feelings can't be controlled, action can sure. But when you meet your true love, you have this certainty, this clarity that maybe has never been there before. I do believe in soulmates and that there is someone out there for everyone, and that when you meet that person you'll know...you'll just know for sure. If there is doubt, it probably isn't love.
