Relationships aren’t easy. You’re not even 100% sure who you are, but you should be in a relationship with someone else? This is a big question. But despite the difficulties, people succeeded. There are about two million weddings every year in the United States alone; that’s about four million people who believe they’ve found one for them every year! But how do you know you are ready to commit to your lover? We see some signs below. If you end up nodding your head at the points we’re making, likelihood is your search for a lifelong partner is over.
You are your Best Self
We act differently around the various people in our lives. When we are around our childhood friends, we might act a little more ridiculous than usual. When we are at work, we are very professional, and so on. If, when you are with your partner, you think that you are the best version of yourself – like the version of yourself that you like the most – then that’s a terrific sign that they should be a keeper. If they lift you up and motivate you to be and do more, then you will know you cannot stray too far with them by your side.
Similar Value
Being like a burning home is a good sign, but it isn’t everything. Two people can have fun with one another, but still not get along in the long run. Why? It all boils all the way down to values. As you become older, your values and beliefs will become more important. If you are in tune with, say, the way you consider people for life or raising kids and so on, then that’s a pretty good sign that you will be spared some of the headaches that future couples often have.
Differences Can Be Bridged
You and your partner should have differences. Life would be so boring if everybody was the same! So don’t fret if you start to see small disagreements. What matters is whether the differences can be bridged. For example, if a couple has very different views about how their child should be educated, then that’s a problem. If they both support a rival sports team, then that’s fine so long as each person puts their love for the other above their love for their team. Differences can be celebrated, not a death knell for relationships!
Your Exciting Wedding Details
Perhaps the biggest reminder you have found you want endlessly is your increased excitement about marriage. Attending a marriage and starting to imagine your own wedding day with your partner? Lost in daydreams about wearing a halo style engagement ring? Hear a song and think that it would make a terrific first dance song at your wedding? All of these are signs that you’re subconsciously starting to believe that your partner is the person you want to get older with.
The Future Is One
The differences in people become more pronounced with age. When you are, say, thirty years old, everybody’s more or less in the same boat: but as you become older, the decisions about where you live, whether you have kids, and the rest really come to the fore. Before you commit to your partner, it is important for you to know that you and your partner agree on this big decision. If they share a vision of their future and it sounds just as thrilling to you then thoughts are more likely to pan out. If you think they’ve gone mad, then you may have a problem.
Finance and Culture
Deciding whether to commit to someone should be about love, but this is the real world, so, sadly, it isn’t. Two big, additional factors include finance and culture. If you earn the same amount of money and have the same spending approach, you’ll avoid multiple arguments that causes so many problems for other couples. The culture of the two people is also important – background matters a lot in life!
You Just Know
Finally, and not too soggy, but: you will just know. If you look at the person you love and cannot imagine spending the rest of your life with someone else, then the search is over. It will be a feeling of contentment and pure love that you’re going to not be capable to ignore.
