Ten Signs of True Love in a Relationship

Everybody is in a relationship at some point in life. So the big question that follows after you have been dating for a while is whether you guys are actually in love? You could question your love or your partners, but this question comes up every now and then until of course you are sure of it.Well, the good news is that there are always signs that will tell you about the ‘true love’ part of a relationship and therefore this list. Here, we talk about ten signs of true love in a relationship.
10. PRIDE AND JEALOUSY

One of the easiest way to tell if your partner loves is by the way they behave around you. Are they jealous when you flirt with someone else or talk about your ex or even mention the opposite gender? If so, chances are you have hit good luck. Also, another thing to really observe is whether your partner is actually proud to be seen with you. So there you go, be observant.
9. SHARE THE BURDEN

Well, there is no gun to your head forcing you to share your burdens with each other but if that happens subconsciously that is a sign of love right there. This implies that you cannot see your partner in pain or in suffering and you would do whatever it is to take that burden off of them. You will listen to their burdens, lend them a helping hand or even a shoulder to cry for if the need be. The point being, you are always there for them.

8. THE CONCEPT OF ‘WE’

There is not ‘I’ in a relationship. Everything is about the two of you. Every decision you make will have an impact of sorts on your partner and you need to be thoughtful and considerate while making your decisions. If you are doing that then you have eliminated the concept of ‘I’ in a relationship and you have moved on to the concept of ‘we’. If you are already there, chances are you are pretty much in love.

7. NEVER BREAK A PROMISE

There are many people who don’t really bother with the promises they make and they end up breaking them. But if you make a promise to this one person and even though you are not that good with keeping promises, but the thought of breaking your promise with your partner bothers you and you just can’t do it, you are in love. Keep the promises you make and you’ll have a happy life. Trust is everything.

6. DON’T HURT THEM

No matter what happens, the thought of hurting them bothers you. The thought of hurting them does not cross your mind and you can’t even imagine that. Whether it is physical or emotional or both, the thought stays miles away from your mind. Sure, payback feels awesome, revenge might make you feel better, but love is something that makes you selfless in every way.

5. EFFORT

If you are in a bad place in your relationship and everything seems to be going wrong you might want to try and fix it. Of course, that should be the logical step; fixing it. If you are making every effort in the book to improve the situation and work on your relationship and you are trying hard, that’s a sign right there.

4. SACRIFICE

In order to live, there are certain sacrifices that have to be made. At every turn in our life we make a sacrifice one way or another. That’s what this is all about too. If you are in love and you are happy and you want to stay that way, you will have to make sacrifices and you will not be bothered by that. Don’t worry, if you are lucky it will be a two-way street; it won’t be only you making the sacrifice.

3. PAIN AND ANGER

There are instances when you are hurt by the actions of your partner or something of that sort. You can be hurt, but you never feel anger or feelings of hatred towards them. You might even be annoyed, irritated and frustrated but there is no way you are going to stay that way for long. Ignoring them, giving them the cold shoulder hurts you more than it might hurt them. There’s a sign.

2. HAPPINESS

Having a bad day and you see your partner and you smile and you forget about all the worries in the world. Being around them makes you happy; being with them makes you happy, their happiness turns your world upside down. You’re in love.

1. YOU GIVE SOME, YOU TAKE SOME

Love is a two-way street ladies and gentlemen. You can’t expect to keep taking in love and you can’t just keep giving. You be selfless and you expect nothing. You don’t need justifications, you don’t do any favors. Nothing. You give some and if you are lucky, you get some.
