“I no longer believed in the idea of soul mates, or love at first sight. But I was beginning to believe that a very few times in your life, if you were lucky, you might meet someone who was exactly right for you. Not because he was perfect, or because you were, but because your combined flaws were arranged in a way that allowed two separate beings to hinge together.”- Lisa Kleypas
They say that true love is like a unicorn. Most people in today’s jaded world rarely believe that the true love shebang is for them anymore. While we’re not getting into the world of discussing soul mates we can say for sure that every once in a while you do meet that one gem of a person who makes you feel like you can pull it off for the long haul. They’re rarely what (or who) you expect them to be but here are the essential features in your relationship to let you know that you’re set for life.
- You Trust Them With Your Life
The force of trust which holds your relationship together is strong with this one. Trust is the basis for a strong lifelong relationship.
- You Can Be Vulnerable
You can completely let your guard down around them no matter how depressed or ugly you feel. That tangled bed hair won’t matter.
- They Back Up Their Words With Action
They’re actions back up the words they profess. They are completely dependable that way.
- You’re Tuned To Each Other’s Needs
