Have you ever wondered if your partner is the one? The one you’re meant to spend the rest of your life with?
As my grandma always says, dating is different from marriage. In a dating relationship, you can quit whenever you don’t feel the vibe anymore, but marriage is a lifetime commitment.
I don’t know about you, but I’m always on cloud nine when I see couples who have been together for more than 50 years and are still madly in love with each other.
Before you walk down the aisle to say, ‘I do,’ I’m sure you’ll want to ensure that it’s with someone who checks all your boxes. That’s the purpose of this article: to assist you in making the right decision before embarking on the journey of ‘I do’.
Therefore, sit tight, get your pen, and read on because we’ve put together a checklist to reveal the 10 signs that your partner might just be “the one” you’ve been searching for.
1. You can be yourself around them
There’s nothing like wearing a mask when you’re with the right person because they bring out the inner child in you and allow you to be the craziest and most relaxed you can ever be.
With them, you don’t need to pretend to be someone you’re not. So if you feel comfortable and accepted around your partner, that’s a good sign.
2. You have similar values and goals
There’s a saying that you cannot work together unless they agree, so if you and your partner are headed in the same direction and there is an intersection of your values, mission, vision, and goals, then you are on the right path.
3. You make each other laugh
Humor is the lifeblood of any relationship. When you and your partner can’t help but burst into fits of giggles together, it’s a clear indication that you share a unique and joyful bond.
And if you guys are lively, crack jokes, and laugh it off without anyone feeling offended, then it’s a sign that your journey will be filled with lightness of spirit and laughter.
4. You can communicate effectively
Communication is the glue that holds relationships together. You should be able to talk to your partner about anything, both good and bad.
If you and your partner can talk openly, listen actively, and resolve conflicts with understanding and respect, then you’re on the right path.
5. You support each other’s dreams
In a relationship with “the one,” dreams aren’t just individual aspirations; they’re shared visions of the future.
A good partner will always support your dreams and ambitions. He or she is your biggest cheerleader. So if your partner is happy for you when you succeed and there to pick you up when you fail, that’s a great sign.
6. You trust each other completely
Trust is the cornerstone of any solid partnership. You and your partner should be able to trust each other completely.
If you can’t trust your partner, then you won’t be able to build a strong and lasting relationship, and that’s already a but in your relationship.
7. You’re physically and emotionally attracted to each other
Attraction is sexy, but it’s not just physical; it’s emotional too. So if you and your partner have a soulish connection and bond, then it’s a pointer to “the one.”.
But if both of you are not irresistibly drawn to each other’s minds and bodies, believe me, it will be difficult to maintain a long-term relationship, which in this scenario is marriage.
8. You constantly imagine spending the rest of your life with them
Do you often find yourself picturing yourself and your partner with your kids in your home having fun? Do you see yourself celebrating life milestones with that person by your side?
There’s a saying that when you find the right person, you’ll know because you can’t imagine spending the rest of your life without them.
Why? Because they are your best friend, lover, and soulmate all in one. So if your partner gives you warmth and excitement about the future, then you’re likely in the presence of “the one.”
9. You respect each other
When you are with the right person, you value and honor their thoughts, feelings, boundaries, and individuality.
And even when you’re angry or upset, you still treat them with dignity and kindness because you can’t imagine being rude or disrespectful to them.
10. You cut off all other distractions
As a lady, has a guy ever made a pass on you and you were like, “Not interested, my man is better”? Or, as a guy, has a lady ever flitted with you and you are like “My babe is much prettier than you can ever be”?
If you find yourself one hundred percent into your partner, consciously choosing to eliminate distractions that could potentially harm your relationship, then that’s a great sign.
Final thoughts on 10 signs your partner might be ‘the one’
If your partner checks off most of these boxes, then you’re in luck! Cherish this relationship because you’ve found someone special!
Of course, no relationship is perfect. There will be times when you disagree or fight. But if you have a strong foundation built on love, respect, and communication, you’ll be able to overcome any challenge.
