How Do You Know

In today’s world, knowing if you have love is hard. It is hard to know how to act rightfully when you love someone. However, there are some key factors when there is love present in a relationship. 

One key factor is respect. A person who truly loves you respects you, respects your opinions, respects your boundaries, and respects you as a person. This does not mean they need to agree with you, but they can respect the fact that you think differently and feel differently. This is an important part of love.

Another key factor is that they want to hear what you have to say, whether you are venting or saying something good about your day or you just want to say your opinion or question something. Someone who loves you will always let you speak for they want to know everything about you, your thoughts and feelings 

Another key factor is time. People who love each other make time for one another. Whether it is a date night or just sitting on the couch and watching a movie, time is important. This means time without phones or distractions. That is what love is.

The last key factor in knowing love is that they will want to protect you. When you care deeply for someone, you want them safe, whether it be when they are with you or not with you. You will always want them to be safe. Like a mama bear will always protect their cubs, when you love someone, you are always looking out for their safety, their physical, emotional, and mental safety. All aspects of a person are important when you have love.
