Even when you’re crazy in love with someone, it can often be hard to know if he or she is “right” for you. How do you know you won’t feel differently in a year? Ten years? A lifetime?


Deciding if you can commit to someone is a deeply personal determination, and everyone has different criteria. As in any verdict, you have to start by assessing the evidence.

Is he or she ”the one”? You can finally relax and figure it out using the list of positive signs below.

1. You trust each other

Trust is one of the strong pillars of every relationship. The level of trust in a relationship will determine how the relationship will end (breakup or marriage. If you are with the right partner, trust should be the foundation on which your romantic relationship is built.

2. You communicate

Communication plays an important role in a relationship. A relationship that lacks effective communication will eventually crash. When you’re with someone you really love, you listen and care about what they have to say – you don’t just wait for your turn to speak. And once you’ve listened, you speak, not only with your words but with your actions.

3. You are honest with each other

Trust is the foundation of any successful relationship, and honesty is the bricks and mortar. Partners in a loving relationship are honest with each other, not just about their past and their actions, but about their feelings and their fears.
You need to feel secure about being honest and secure that your partner is being honest with you.

4. You Compromise

Every relationship has its occasional disagreements and difficulties – it’s how you respond to such situations that shows whether or not you are a good fit. A steady, loving relationship is in one in which both partners are open to making compromises.
Couples don’t have to like the same thing all the time.

5. You express your love

Love can be expressed in many ways, from a simple ‘I love you’ to an impromptu back rub at the end of the day. It’s easy to get so caught up in your own life that you forget about your partner’s. Loving couples make an effort to understand whatever it is their partner is going through and make them feel better about it by showing concern.

6. You help each other grow

If your partner is considering a career change, you should support them. If your partner is trying to quit a bad habit, you should be by their side, ready to help. It is hurtful when someone you love takes no interest in your personal struggles. The right partner doesn’t hinder you or drag you down but is supportive and helps you grow.

7. You make time for each other, and also provide space

No matter how busy you may be, your relationship should remain a major priority in your life. Spending time with your partner shouldn’t feel like a burden, but a pleasure you look forward to. At the same time, spending too much time with your partner can dull your relationship, and you should never be too dependent on your partner for your own happiness. Maintaining a little independence from each other will help your relationship grow strong.

8. You stick together when times are tough

The right partner will be there beside you, whether times are good or bad. It is one of the best and clearest indicators of the way a person feels to see how they behave when you pass through a difficult situation together. If they’re not there to help you through minor turbulence now, you probably can’t depend on them to be there when times become truly difficult.
