How to Know True Love ?

How do you know when you have found true love? I have heard this question countless times and have to be honest with you. No one really knows how true love works. There are different types of love. Puppy, true, and false are the three most common forms around. The best way to really identify true love is to explain the differences between these three. Puppy love is the type most teenagers experience. It is pure infatuation. The parties involved in a puppy love will feel the need to constantly stay at each other's side.

Usually, puppy love is found in couples without any previous relationships. These couples feel the need to boast about their feelings, often displaying heavy public emotion. They constantly feel the need to physically touch one another and have an obscene knack of showering one another with pet names and compliments. Without their companion, by their side, they may exhibit a lack of self-confidence, bouts of depression, and serious jealousy issues. It is this immature nature that separates puppy love from true love. This type of relationship has a legitimate threat for abusive situations.


False love is exactly that. This is a relationship based on lies. These relationships tend to base primarily on their passions and lusts. Couples in false relationships have one party, who truly cares about the other party, who has no moral or ethical obligations to their mate. Psychological and physical abuse is fairly commonplace. Someone always gets hurt when these relationships end.

True love is unlike any other form of love. Couples truly in love appreciate every moment they are together, even when they are apart. They are comfortable knowing every detail of each other's lives. Their relationships are so strong, a psychic bond is formed. Similar to the bond between mother and child. For example, it is not uncommon for a couple to be in two different stores and purchase the same item, or be in different sections of the same store and come back with the same item in their hands.

True love is when a couple accepts one another, regardless of how they change. They feel so comfortable talking to one another, that they can hold a serious conversation during the most private moments. They are so comfortable with their relationship, they can change in front of one another without a second thought. True love is knowing this is the person you are going to be with until the day you die. You can easily picture taking care of your mate, when they are at their worst or best. They naturally recognize when something is bothering their mate. Children blessed enough to have parents truly in love, enjoy their parents playful proddings. They get a chance to see what it takes to make relationships work. Without a good working understanding, children are at a distinct disadvantage in their future relationships. It is imperative for children to see parents sharing their affection with the entire family, which will only further enhance their chances of having successful relationships. It is important to note, every relationship requires a lot of work. Couples experiencing true love have less work to do, however there are still areas they have to work at. Puppy love can grow, but requires a lot of work and patience. False love will never work, because one person does not feel the same as the other. People truly in love will find a way to make things work, even when times are at their hardest. Without that determination, there is no chance of success.
