How to Know You Are in Love

How to know you are in love? You show love even when you don't feel like it. It's easy to think you are in love when everything in the relationship is smooth. But the most important time is when difficulties begin. You are in love if, during disagreements, your goal is to find a compromise, not to identify a winner. You are in love if you don't take your partner's words personally and don't doubt them. You don't keep score. You don't hold grudges. You don't withhold your love as a punishment. You are in love if, first and foremost, you aim to understand rather than be understood. You listen and value what is shared with you. And you don't immediately dump your own problems.
