How do you know she is the one?

My cousin has been with his girlfriend for a couple of years now. This weekend he asked me "how do I know she is the one?". The smartass answer is if you have to ask, she is obviously not. I think the real answer is as follows. I don't believe in all this soul mate stuff. I think you need to be lucky to find someone that you really love and loves you just as much and society puts too much pressure on people to get married after a certain amount of time. If you can say yes to all of these items, she is probably the one.

  • If you love and respect her more now than you did the first month of your relationship, she may be the one
  • If you feel like you can work through any issue together she may be the one
  • If you think that if things got a little worse and stayed that way, you could you still be happy for 50 years, she may be the one
  • If you can see and appreciate other women without wanting them because you know what you have is so much more than physical, she may be the one
  • If you had a daughter, would you be proud if she grew up just like her mother
  • If you love yourself enough to allow someone else to, you might be ready
