How do you know if they are the one?

This is how I knew ⬇️

I felt safe

I smile a lot

He always put me first

It felt different

I was comfortable

He didn’t judge me

Our love languages matched

My gut didn’t tell me anything different

GUESS WHAT!! We are still together and married 11 years later 🫶🏾

What about you what made you think they were the one or if you haven’t found the one what made someone not the one?

... Read moreFinding 'the one' is a personal journey that varies for each individual. It's essential to recognize the signs that indicate a meaningful connection with someone special. Many people report that feeling safe and comfortable with their partner is a critical indicator of true love. When you smile often around someone, it’s a sign that they bring joy into your life. Another significant aspect is how your partner prioritizes you; when they consistently put you first, it showcases a strong bond and commitment. Understanding love languages is vital as well. When both partners share the same love language, communication becomes seamless, leading to a deeper understanding of emotional needs. Your intuition, or gut feeling, plays a significant role too. If it consistently tells you that you are in the right relationship, it's a positive sign for the future. It's also important to consider experiences from the past, as they can shed light on what makes someone 'the one' or conversely, why someone may not be. Reflecting on qualities that made past relationships fail can be as beneficial as identifying positive qualities in your current partner. Identifying the right mix of compatibility, comfort, and mutual respect can help you recognize the potential for a lifelong partnership. What did you feel when you knew your partner was 'the one'? Engage with the community to share experiences and thoughts on relationship growth and love.

I actually just figure my children father is not the one for me! I know I should’ve known this long ago but it didn’t sink in until I tried to set boundaries and it was as if they never existed! He’s always saying I have it good I’m a SAHM and he’s the provider but I’m still unhappy. He says I’m ungrateful. Possibly!
