Being in love, to me, is a combination of:

- Total acceptance of the other person, even embracing nearly all of their flaws and tolerating the rest. You actually revel in your partner’s preferences and quirks, finding them endearing, not annoying.
- Mutual trust, admiration and respect.
- Sharing of feelings, ideas, experiences, goals, desires and moral compass.
- An “electricity” to your affection for each other and great chemistry, both physical and emotional.
- Wanting to know what makes your partner happy, what makes him/her laugh and caring about what his/her opinion is. You truly care about this person.
- A feeling that while there may be others in the room or others who are interested in you, they disappear because your partner is the only one who matters to you.
- The desire to help and lend support to your lover in good times and bad as a partner, listener and sounding board, not as his/her rescuer, judge or parent.
- A willingness to make time for and put him/her to the front of your life priorities.
- Being able to disagree without being disagreeable or hurtful and to “fight fairly,” (including compromising where necessary) without losing respect for your partner or yourself.
- Thinking of your future only with your partner as part of it.
Most of all, with love, you two think about each other all the time. Little things you see each day remind you of your partner. You truly cherish the times when you are together. When you are apart, you think about the next time you’ll get to talk with each other or be together once more. And when at last you see each other again, it is as if you are finally arriving at your emotional home – that place of comfort, peace and serenity that is where you are meant to be and want to remain always.
