Is it a feeling? Does your heart tell you? Does your mind become more at ease? Can you really be yourself around this person? Do you think about him all the time? Do you finish each other’s sentences? These are just a few questions that we have asked ourselves or our girlfriends when it comes to answering the question… How do you know that it’s true love?
Many times, we become addicted to the idea of being in love without allowing true love to unfold. The concept of love is blinded by dinners, romantic trips and the feeling of companionship. We are so very quick to give a relationship the status of “in love” without allowing time to properly show us if the other person is capable or willing to truly love us the way in which we deserved to be loved.
True love is not a label nor is it a statement. Love is a verb, an action word. You will know when you have come in contact with true love. Your gut, your heart, your mind, your spirit will be in full agreement. Every aspect of who you are will be fulfilled in the partnership. Let me show you. Your dreams, desires, goals, ambitions will be supported and motivated. This person will understand your mental and emotional makeup and realize that your imperfections is what makes you uniquely perfect. Spiritually, the two of you will encourage each other. Understand that when a person is in love, they study the object of their affection. Love does not leave you guessing. Love does not mistrust. Love does not hurt.
The truth of the matter is that we genuinely know when the love we desire has come into our lives. The real question is not how do we know but do we have the patience to wait and if we truly love ourselves enough to know that we deserve nothing but pure unconditional love with butterflies.
