1. You know when their physical characteristics become irrelevant – you can look at your partner and truly feel that it wouldn’t matter to you if they lost a limb or got badly burned or scarred or whatever.
2. You know when you want to raise children with them. If you don’t want kids, you’ll know because both of you will be in agreement on this.
3. You know when you feel trust in them and you trust yourself to do right by them.
4. You know when you realize that although you may meet other people who are smarter, cuter, richer, funnier, etc. than your partner so what, you would never want to leave them for someone else.
5. You know when money is irrelevant…if you both just have a loaf of bread to your names you are willing to share it and be poor together and get your finances together, as a couple.
6. You know because you are willing to work together for the future.
7. You know when they fart around you, you smell it, and you want to marry them anyway.
8. You know when you think about what would happen if you had a medical emergency that they would do what you wanted.
9. You know because you have a complete being on your own and you feel ready to share your world with someone else.
10. You know because you have faith and you feel safe and secure with them.
