When individuals are in love, they do three things:
How can you tell someone is in love with you?
What are the signs that someone loves you?
To be honest, you don’t need your spouse to declare they love you to be convinced. In a partnership, true, professed love performs a unique function.
However, you can tell by their conduct, attitude, and actions that your spouse is genuinely in love with you and isn’t simply being nice to have sex with you or take advantage of you.
Let’s look at why knowing that someone or your spouse is really in love with you is so essential before we look at the signs:
A happy, long-term partnership is built on mutuality.
Why? Because a partnership requires two people to be successful. The relationship is destined to collapse if the affection isn’t reciprocated. If not now, when will you be able to do so?
He tried for two years to make her happy.
Jeff is a good buddy who fell in love with and dated a woman who couldn’t care less about him.
He was aware of everything.
He pushed on, though, in the hopes that if he successfully pleasures her, she would one day return the love.
He presented the table with all he had to offer. He was generous with his cash. He was willing to give of himself. He purchased presents for her.
He had a rift with a few people. He had a rift with his sister, for example. He was assisting her sister manage here in Nigeria when he mishandled the money for the wine company.
It was a two-year romance.
He acknowledged the relationship was a total waste of his limited resources the last time we talked.
The important thing to remember
If there isn’t reciprocal love in a relationship, it’s doomed to collapse. The reason for this is that a relationship requires both partners to be successful. There is little chance for the relationship’s success if the love is not reciprocal.
That being said, here are three indications that someone loves you (or that you love someone):
They enthusiastically inform you about their day and significant events in their life.
To put it another way, they want you to be informed about their life. They consider you to be a part of themselves. As a stranger, no.
My girlfriend nearly always kept me informed on the highlights of her day, even if she didn’t say yes or no after I asked her out.
“Josh, today I discovered a new way to make fried rice. I spotted it on Instagram and decided to give it a go. See, when I come over tomorrow, I’ll show you how to do it.”
“Joshua, there’s something that’s been bothering me for the last two years. I haven’t been able to get the guts to tell anybody. Is it possible that you will be available tomorrow? I’d be delighted to tell you about it. I’d want to hear your thoughts on it.”
It’s possible that yours isn’t that black-and-white.
But the point is this: when your partner or someone you’re asking out shares the highlight of their day or a piece of their life with you, it’s an indication that they’re emotionally comfortable with you or in your vibe.
It’s a different sort of closeness to feel comfortable in someone’s energy. That sense of security and safety is much appreciated. — Anonymous.
Keep an eye out for this sign: emotional security.
Do you get thrilled when your spouse or a potential love partner tells you about their day or shares a small secret about their life with you?
If these people are introverts, this is a significant indication of closeness. If they can’t hold it together while you’re around, chances are they’re at ease with you. And it’s a strong indicator of emotional safety: the freedom that genuine loves feel when they’re with their partners.
They value your thoughts and activities.
When someone cares about you, your actions, inactions, behaviors, and attitudes begin to matter to them.
My girlfriend has yet to say yes to my proposal before her last birthday, which was on September 3rd, 2020.
I didn’t share her photos or wish her a happy birthday on that day until about 8 p.m., when I emailed her my birthday greetings. I didn’t even pick up the phone and dial her number.
Even though several people texted her to wish her a happy birthday and someone even brought her a cake, her day seemed incomplete. Why? I didn’t wish her a happy birthday because I didn’t wish her a happy birthday.
She was a lot more reserved when I phoned her the following morning. “Do you think everything is fine?” Yes, she said. We hung up after a few minutes of one of the driest talks we’d ever had with her.
Her buddy left me a voice message later that evening. It was a full-fledged emotional explosion! She was furious with me that night because she couldn’t take it any longer. She was devastated and enraged that I had failed to wish her a happy birthday.
I needed to apologize to her before we could resume our normal conversation and spend quality time together on weekends.
Even though she had gotten many wishes from friends, mine was so essential to her that my failure to deliver destroyed her day.
When someone cares for you, they pay attention to your thoughts, actions, and attitudes. They pay a lot of attention to your actions and inactions.
Keep an eye out for this sign: a feeling of importance.
Do your spouse or romantic possibility place a high value on your thoughts, actions, and attitudes in their presence?
If you answered yes, it means you’re near to their heart. That you are important to them. It indicates that they are really smitten with you. Do you have any idea why? It takes someone you care about to betray you. Even the smallest details will be overlooked by others.
They make concessions for you
Someone really loves you if they are willing to sacrifice their beliefs and firmly held convictions for your sake. It implies that you have a special place in their hearts.
For example, after 10 p.m., I don’t answer the phone. Second, I go to bed at or before 12 a.m. every night. As a result, I only attend vigils on the first nights of the new year.
Why?
Because interrupting my sleep cycle causes havoc for the next two days. However, since my girlfriend’s job shuts at 11: 30 p.m. on occasion, I occasionally stay up until 1 or 2 a.m. talking to her on the phone.
But why did I give up my sleep schedule for her? I do so because I adore her. I care about her, therefore I make an exception for her.
When someone cares about you, they will treat you with respect. They will make room in their life for you. This may need them compromising their beliefs or going out of their way especially for you.
Keep an eye out for this sign: special treatment.
Are you treated differently by your spouse than other individuals in their life? Do they ever go out of their way to assist you with a task or a need?
If they do, it indicates they are willing to put their lives on the line for you. And it takes a lot of love to be willing to make such sacrifices.
