How do you realize your partner is truly the one you are to spend your whole life with?
This is a really important question that everybody who is dating eventually asks themselves. The thing is that we live in a world where relationships don't last like they used to and divorce seems more common than marriage itself. No one wants to enter a relationship that will bring nothing but pain. So in light of this its really important to know whether your current partner is the one to walk down the isle with or not.
I'm a firm believer of love. I also believe that love can blind people more than acid poured in the eyes. When we fall in love with a person, we tend to see the good in that person and ignore the bad. We want to see them as perfect and this can often lead to being taken advantage of. So in choosing a partner, you have to ask yourself whether that person will love you as much as you love them and if not, will they take advantage of you and your love. That's a very important question.
You also have to ask yourself whether your partner will support you and your dreams. Everybody has goals and aspirations and we need someone who will support us and not try to tear us down or abandon us when things get tough. It may seem unlikely but it is actually very common. People can be very selfish in their relationships, not caring about what their partners want in life. Choose wisely because there is nothing better than knowing that your partner believes in you and will support you no matter what.
Lastly, your partner must feel like home. If you re going to spend the rest of your life h some one then that person must give you a feeling of comfort that no one else does. Most people don't know this but infidelity is not always rooted in sexual attraction to someone else. It can start simply by feeling more comfortable in their presence than in your spouse's. Your partner should do all these and if they cannot then the relationship will be an unhappy one.
Take note please, no matter how happy a relationship is, no matter how perfect it may seem, there will always be ups and downs. There will be good times and bad times but during the bad, when it seems like all is almost lost, knowing that your partner does all the things I talked about will be motivation to make it work. And if your partner is good to you, be good to them. Its a partnership. You both deserve love and affection equally.
