When someone enters into a relationship with another person, questions often arise, even after living together, such as: "Is what I feel love?" and "Do I love my partner?" and "Do they love me?" According to the magazine "Family Process," psychologists from the University of Alabama highlight three key distinctive signs to focus on if someone has doubts about true love.
1. **Positive Response**
The harmony between partners and the way one partner does not belittle the feelings and thoughts of the other indicates sensitivity to their needs. They are always ready to support each other, showing care and affection, and do everything to express increasing respect for their partner—this means they truly love their partner. If the other partner feels and behaves in the same way, it can be said that they love each other as well.
2. **Genuine Soul Connection**
If both partners are open with each other and are not afraid to reveal their flaws and weaknesses or to appear silly, then when they are together, neither should pretend to be superior to the other. They should behave naturally and express their attraction and desire to stay together, sharing feelings, thoughts, impressions, and emotions. They are on the same wavelength and practically understand each other even without words.
3. **Stability**
When a person thinks about their relationship, they do not feel uncertainty, distrust, or unpredictability. On the contrary, they feel confidence and security. If their relationship is built on unconditional acceptance and trust in each other, this is true love.
