True Love Test to Evaluate Your Devotion FactorRelationships start out in the infatuation stage, and may or may not lead to love WARNING SIGNS YOUR RELATIONSHIP MIGHT BE IN TROUBLE Desire for Other Women Are you still interested in dating other women, and not completely content with just one woman? If you fail this true love test, she’s not the one for you. Need to Hold On Do you ever have flashes of wishing you could marry right away because of a fear of losing your partner? Infatuation can last from 6 months to 2 years, so rushing into marriage can lead to a future of disappointment. Don’t Rock the Boat Are you open with your feelings? Have you ever had difficult conversations with her and worked through your differences. Or if there is something about her that bothers you, do you hold it inside for fear of upsetting her. Do You Just Like Being a Couple Are you just in love with the idea of being in a relationship, or with her? Being in a relationship may un-complicate your life. Maybe you are less lonely, you have someone to hang out with, someone who cares about you. But make sure this isn’t the only reason you are sticking with her. You Get What You Give Are you both givers in the relationship? If you often see her as selfish in the relationship, than it is not true love. Or if there are often times when you expect more of her than you would be willing to give, you are not truly in love with her. SIGNS OF TRUE LOVE Experiencing Highs and Lows Have you experienced the lows in the relationship as well as the highs? Experiencing and growing stronger from relationship conflict, helps confirm true love. Seeing her Faults A true love test is to see and understand the imperfections in each other. Building Friendship and Time Alone There are many qualities that you admire about her. It isn’t just about a sexual attraction. If you enjoy spending time alone with her, not with your friends around, not involving sex, then you gain extra points on your true love test. You See a Future Can you envision a future with this woman? Or are there things about her that you find difficult to live with now, and hope to change in the future. She Enhances You Does she complete you? Does she enhance you, rather than cause chaos and confusion in your life. Does she help you grow as a man? You should still remain independent, and balanced in other aspects of your life (time with family, no change to work life, etc). All love that has not friendship for its base, is like a mansion built upon sand. - Ella Wheeler Wilcox
