How I Knew He was “The One”
In honor of Valentine’s Day, it had me thinking about my own love story...but let’s be honest Love stories can be so boring unless you're living it. The world loves to make it look amazing on the screen but in reality the same. Do you find this perfect person one day and just know this is the one for me?
As lame as it is to say, For me….Yes.
My happiness with my husband makes saying that a whole lot less lame. I would tell anyone time and time again that happiness is worth it. And for me, I live those words daily, I continue to choose happiness even when things become more than I think I can bear.
But all of that happiness almost didn’t happen because I was too afraid to admit, this was the guy. I knew it one day when we were discussing music. We are both such big music fans and it felt like I had just met someone who truly loved music the same way as me. Like it was the air I breathed. In an instant I asked myself one question…what did we NOT have in common?!
The truth is we have plenty of differences, but it was just the realization that this was the guy I was supposed to be with for the rest of my life.
Here’s what I realized:
We had common core beliefs in many ways. – Not every topic but the topics that would make a difference in raising kids together or just getting along, we often felt similar. And our differences were respected by one another
Our attraction was on a bigger level than just physical- I am completely in love with the way my husband looks but that’s not all I love about him. I love spending all day with him. Truly he is one of the only people I actually like to spend time with at all.
He really is my best friend- This isn’t like I said above because it’s one thing to like to spend time with someone else and it’s another when you trust that person completely. Well mostly, I still struggle with trust but he is someone I give the most trust I have to give. Good days or bad days, I like him, I love him and I always want to talk to him.
We have electricity- I know that sounds weird but when we touch, it actually feels like a shockwave. It is nothing like I had ever felt in my life for anyone else. It was more pronounced at the beginning of our relationship but every so often, there it is. ( No… not like he shocks me)
Physically we clicked- Now in regard to physical…perfection. That is all I have to say 😉
Others around us saw it too- I’m not one to say follow what others say, but sometimes the people who are around us daily can see it. They can tell whether two people are right or wrong for each other.
Those were my 6 biggest realizations, but I do have a bonus. I also just knew.
It is cliché, I know. But it is true. I had that feeling every time I saw him. It was almost nagging me to accept it until I just admitted it out loud. I never fantasized about being with him for the rest of my life. I just knew I was supposed to be with him for the rest of my life.
Are you with your... one, how did you know?
