So you think that you are in love. Are you sure? How? Why do you think that you are in love? Why do you think that it is not temporary attraction? Why do you think that you both are destined to grow old together? Let us try and find out.
Do you feel happy with your beloved? Do you feel that if you both were left alone on an island for seven days, you would enjoy it? Or you will get bored? How about your self esteem? Does your beloved make you feel good about yourself? Is his/her focus on your good qualities or sometimes faults? What about you? Are you looking for some signs of weaknesses in certain areas, or are contented and satisfied with the whole package?
Love is different than any other relationship and has its own measures. It goes beyond friendship and one has to ask questions to find out if it is love and nothing else. Coming back to our inquiry, what if your beloved gets you some clothes? Will you be delighted and wear immediately, or will you try to look at it critically to find out how you will look in that particular piece of clothing?
Do you smile at the thought of your beloved? Get dreamy? Want to share everything good? Say, you see something good, or complete a some work very satisfactorily, will you immediately tell your beloved about that? Will you impatiently wait to share that? Do you ever compare him/her with others? Give a second look to someone of opposite sex? No? What if the person is stunning in looks? Would you still rather never think of giving a second look and continue with the thoughts of your beloved? What if you go to a movie together? Will you try to look at each other in the darkness or rather watch the movie? Do you watch the movie at all while you are together? Are you planning of the future together? Having children, a new home, new life, etc? Do you talk about how you both would like to spend your old age together? Have you also thought about the career options after marriage? If your answers to all above queries is in positive, you need to look at the relationship seriously. Because you are in love! Love is difficult to find out. Many times, we feel that we are in love, only to find out afterwards that it was not love. It is better to make sure that it is love before committing. Wishing you all the best.
We are given a short life. We must enjoy every moment. If you believe that you are in true love, please do not delay further. Proceed with marriage immediately.

I have been dating a wonderful man for 13 months. He has brought up the subject of marriage which excites me to no end. We have discussed where we will live, bills, responsibilities, etc. We have even discussed what type of wedding we will have. I am concerned because when we talked about the year of the wedding, I said 2009 will be good, however he says the year 2014. This has led to confusion on my end. I dont bring up the subject anymore.
