True love is choosing a person who will be with you for the rest of your life. It's tolerance! Tolerating, accepting each other, even when they get on each other's nerves.
There is no logic in love. Sometimes nothing you think of makes sense. The only thing you can believe in is your feelings.
1. Love should evoke a feeling of fullness
Not the void. It must not be misunderstood or unappreciated. Love should give you more reasons to wake up smiling, to hug the person you see in the mirror, to feel safe and supported. Love shouldn't cause you constant tears or self-doubt. Your person should not be the reason for the pain. It should be the reason for your smile.
2. The right person will always support you
That only true person of yours will not try to keep you around for fear of losing you. It will not hold you back on the road to success, it will push you forward to follow your dreams. It encourages you to become the best version of yourself. He will be with you even when you start to lose confidence in yourself because He believes in you more than anyone else. Sometimes even more than yourself.

If you want to settle down with someone special, you need to enjoy every step of the relationship. Enjoy the initial infatuation phase. Enjoy getting to know each other. Enjoy the comfort of each other's side. Don't plan the perfect future in order to enjoy the moment. Travel together through all the stages of love and enjoy a relationship that will change over time and periods of love.
4. Love can be peaceful
In gentle, small subtle ways. They surprise each other with little treats and send each other sweet messages. Remember that the healthiest relationships are not the most exciting. They act as a constant, regardless of the mood. You are always there for each other.
5. Arguments don't have to keep you apart
When you're with the right person, you'll find healthy ways to communicate. They won't always be happy with each other, but when there's a problem, they'll talk. You will feel safe to open up to each other, even if your feelings are messy. Every time you go through a time of disagreement, it will give you an opportunity to show a new side of yourself. You will become a stronger team, not a weaker one.

You don't want to have a completely separate life because then you won't feel like a couple at all. However, you also don't want to spend every waking second together. You don't want to become too dependent or attached to your partner. You want to have your hobbies, your friends, your interests. Sometimes these areas can overlap, but not always.
7. Love will also hurt
Even when you're in a nearly perfect relationship, there will be hard days. You won't always agree. You won't always be in the best mood. A partner should never cross unforgivable boundaries or push you to your limits. Both can make mistakes, but they must not become a habit. Respect each other.
