You may think of being in love as being a grand feeling or related to big gestures. However, it is possible that there are simple moments that we neglect somewhat in our everyday lives that are signs you’re in love with your partner.
You know you’re in love when you have a sense of feeling at home.
Feeling at home relates to feeling safe and comfortable. There are no strong boundaries or walls put up to keep you from one another; You are simply open with the other and click in a way that makes navigating your relationship easy.
When you feel at home you feel like your life is enhanced by the other person being in the picture. Having them by your side doesn’t exactly complete you, your partner shouldn’t complete you. They compliment you. There is no one else who could make you feel the same level of positive energy and comfort as your partner.
Next time you sit in a room together think about how that makes you feel. Whether you’re sitting down to watch a movie together or sitting apart focusing on your own thing, take a moment to appreciate the feeling of comfort and zero pressure when you are together. Take a moment to think about the love you have for the other person.
It’s not just about having passion within your relationship, it’s about feeling passionately about the other person.
You know you are in love when you can relate to one another. Shared interests are always a perfect middle ground to build communication and passion for sharing something with your partner which makes you happy.
You also find yourself interested in what your partner is interested in. Even if it’s not something you are interested in, your partner’s passion for it is enough to make you want to know what makes them happy.
Seeing their passion and appreciating the happiness they gain from these small things is when you know you are in love. You want to make sure they never lose their passion for the things that make them happy because that is your favourite sight to see.
You know you’re in love when you find joy in every moment.
There is never any pressure to have a good time or enjoy their company, you simply do.
Seeing their happiness and hearing their laugh makes you want to maintain the same level of joy for many years to come.
Not only do you love hearing them laugh, but you also want to be the cause of their laugh. You know that they find happiness in being with you when you have the pleasure of being their cause of joy.
This doesn’t mean you won’t fight sometimes. But as long as you hold onto this joy, you know that you will come out on top in the end. You know that you can overcome any obstacle as long as you hold onto the positive emotions that your partner gives you rather than whatever negativity may be in your life at that moment.
You feel supported and unashamed of asking for them to be on your side.
When you are struggling with something, they are the one you turn to for clarity. You know they would never lead you astray because they only want what’s best for you. You need to take risks in life in order to grow. You know that as long as you have them supporting your growth, everything will be okay.
You know you’re in love with them because they understand you and what you want.
Take a moment to appreciate the little things such as asking their opinion on something and knowing that they’ll take you seriously.
You know you’re in love when the future doesn’t feel uncertain or something to be feared.
You share your goals with one another and know what to expect from the future. Your plans are most likely very similar for how the future will map out. Where you can, you compromise. But overall the future feels like something you can tackle head-on, together.
Being in love means you both want to work and put effort into what you have to make sure that the future is built on this shared idea of where you are both going.
You know you are in love when you can be together, share your goals, and know it is serious and real.
