00:02 Are you wondering if you've really fallen
00:08 for the right person?
00:10 Do you want to know if what you're feeling
00:11 is actually the real deal?
00:14 You think the passionate feelings you have for someone
00:16 will last forever, but all too often,
00:18 you find yourself suddenly falling out of love
00:21 and feeling disenchanted with them
00:22 for reasons you may never fully understand.
00:25 True love is about so much more
00:27 than just chasing that fleeting fairy tale feeling.
00:31 Here are eight definitive signs of true love.
00:34 One, you understand each other.
00:37 Does it feel like your partner understands you
00:39 in a way that no one else ever has?
00:42 Do you feel like a pair of good friends
00:44 who know how to make each other laugh,
00:46 comfort one another, and cheer each other up
00:48 when having a bad day?
00:50 Understanding is something that can only come
00:53 from having a true emotional connection with someone,
00:55 which is why it's so vital to making a relationship work.
00:59 They see the real you and accept you for who you truly are.
01:03 They love all the things that make you so special
01:06 and never once judge you for your flaws or past mistakes.
01:10 Two, you respect one another.
01:13 Does your partner treat you as their equal?
01:16 Are they willing to listen to you,
01:17 value your opinions, and accept your differences?
01:21 If your partner truly respects you,
01:23 they won't ever try to control you
01:25 or make your decisions for you
01:26 because they know that you are your own person
01:29 and they trust your judgment and your capabilities.
01:32 Respect is a key ingredient
01:34 for any strong and healthy relationship.
01:36 True love can never flourish if there is no respect
01:40 because it is the glue that holds relationships together.
01:43 Respect is what makes you feel free to express yourself
01:46 and remain honest with one another.
01:49 Three, you look out for each other.
01:51 Does your partner always call you
01:53 to know if you got home safely
01:55 or make sure you never forget to eat
01:57 or buy you little gifts to make you smile,
01:59 cheer you on before a big test or presentation,
02:02 and offer to drive or cook for you when you're too tired?
02:06 It's these little things that show the essence of true love.
02:09 When you love someone,
02:10 you want to do all you can to keep them safe
02:13 and protect them from any harm or danger.
02:16 You don't ever want anything bad to happen to them
02:18 because the thought of them getting hurt
02:20 is almost too much for you to bear.
02:22 So you look out for them
02:23 and you don't doubt that they do the same for you too.
02:26 Four, you're supportive of one another.
02:30 Do you and your partner inspire each other
02:32 to reach for your goals?
02:34 A person who truly loves you
02:35 will never try to compete with you or outdo you.
02:39 They don't get insecure when they see you succeed
02:41 or belittle your accomplishments,
02:43 but rather they're genuinely happy for your success
02:46 and supportive of you and all of your dreams
02:49 because true love means only having each other's
02:51 best interests at heart.
02:53 There's no jealousy or rivalry there
02:56 because you both just want the same thing,
02:58 to see each other happy and fulfilled.
03:00 Five, you're patient with each other.
03:04 True love is patient, kind, and gentle.
03:08 And while that certainly doesn't mean
03:09 you and your partner won't ever get on each other's nerves
03:12 or drive each other crazy sometimes,
03:14 your love for one another is the reason
03:16 why you won't ever give up on trying
03:18 to make things work between you.
03:20 You accept each other's flaws
03:22 and talk openly about your problems.
03:24 You don't just throw in the towel
03:26 or run away from them when things get hard.
03:28 You patiently stand by their side
03:30 and put in the time and effort
03:32 to resolve your issues together.
03:35 Six, you're willing to compromise.
03:38 Do you think true love means no fights?
03:41 Some people think that finding true love
03:43 means never having to fight with your partner about anything
03:46 but conflict is actually an inevitable part
03:49 of any relationship.
03:50 No two people will ever agree on everything all the time
03:54 because no two people will ever have the same exact ideas,
03:57 beliefs, needs, thoughts, and feelings about everything.
04:02 A healthy amount of conflict
04:03 can actually be good for you and your partner
04:05 because it shows honesty and open communication.
04:09 And when you're willing to compromise
04:10 or make sacrifices for their sake,
04:12 then you're telling them that you really love them,
04:15 care for them, and prioritize their wellbeing.
04:18 Seven, you're not interested in anyone else.
04:22 When you're really in love,
04:23 you're simply not interested in being with anyone else.
04:27 It is far deeper than your little crush
04:29 from which you can get bored and move on with your life.
04:32 You stay loyal and faithful to your partner
04:35 because you know that what you two have is precious,
04:38 beautiful, and rare.
04:40 You care about the history you have together
04:42 and the life you want to share with them,
04:44 and you wouldn't carelessly throw it all away
04:46 just because it's not new or exciting anymore.
04:49 Falling in love can make everyone else pale in comparison
04:53 to the object of your affections.
04:55 You can't ever think of ditching them
04:57 just because someone else comes along and catches your eye.
05:01 Eight, you change each other for the better.
05:04 Do you think your significant other
05:06 is changing you for the better?
05:08 As cheesy or cliche as it may sound,
05:10 when you really deeply love someone,
05:13 they inspire you to become a better version of yourself,
05:16 and they bring out all of your best qualities.
05:19 You want to be the kind of person they deserve to be with,
05:22 someone they can be proud to call their partner.
05:25 Their love has helped you love yourself more,
05:27 and their unwavering support and belief
05:29 have made you believe in yourself too.
05:32 The myths surrounding what it means to find true love
05:35 can be incredibly damaging
05:36 if you let them skew your expectations
05:39 and hold your partners to unrealistically high standards.
05:42 But relationships don't need to be perfect
05:44 just to be worthwhile.
05:46 What matters most is that there is honesty,
05:49 trust, respect, openness, and emotional intimacy
05:52 in the love that you and your partner feel for one another.
05:56 It takes a lot of time and effort
05:57 to make a relationship with anyone,
05:59 no matter how well matched you may be, work.
06:02 That's why you first need to be sure
06:04 that the person you're going to give your heart to
06:07 is really the right one for you.
