How can anyone tell that they found the right partner in life? There are cases where bf/gf who were madly in-love for 7 years ends up hating each other after marriage; ending it an annulment or divorce, while there are some old couples who, according to their stories got married after knowing each other for 3-4months only, ends up celebrating their 55th wedding anniversaries and are still in-love with one another... how can we tell? or should i say can we really tell?

You know when you found the right partner by how you feel for that person but that does not mean that the right partner will really be your partner for life . Like anything else in life you can lose what you had either by circumstances or just because you fall out of love with the one you loved with all your heat . No one can tell what tomorrow will bring so we should enjoy what we have today and not question if we will still be in love tomorrow .

thanks for the reply. i just find it so frustrating that you have given your best to make everything work for your relationship, but still it can/may end up crumbling down... well, i guess your right... there's nothing permanent in this world, save for change... do u think there is a way to like, increase chances of making your right partner, your partner in life?

For me, there's is no right partner or perfect partner but only a partner that can understands and loves you whoever you are. You can't find a partner but you can pray to have a good partner if not a perfect one besides no one is perfect. Once you pray to God to give you a partner, He will give it to you on the right time and place. Don't look and wait for someone, just pray for it. If God is the one who gave it to you, for sure it would be good and you'll never regret it.

Like almost everyone else, I also would love to find the "right" partner and keep her for life... well, I believe finding the right one isn't really simple, as I have been to a long-term relationship before, for 5 years and yet ended up after we both agreed to call it quits... we both have given ourselves an ample time understand each other and make every little things in our relationship right as much as possible... but things didn't go our way.... yeah, we have thought to getting married but that plan didn't really come to reality as we have felt that somehow we couldn't make a good couple who could last a lifetime and we're afraid we won't be giving our future children a wonderful parents... we didn't really mean to scrutinize our 5 years of being together...it just happens, like we have both fallen out of love..and we just listened to our gut feelings...and am happy we had it that way... coz now, am happily engaged with my present girlfriend...and everything seemed so right though there are times we have some shortcomings...but still it won't take longer that a day to sort things out...and seemed that she fills in the emptiness I have, and I do the same to her... so i should say, there's not really a way to tell if you finally found her but to rely on your heart and your gut feelings. then ask God to be a part of your relationship. Godbless!
