Most of us can’t help falling for cheesy rom-coms and beautiful love stories. We get drawn in by the idea of meeting “the one” and the possibility of having a rich and deep connection with that person. Despite the joy we get from the idea of romance, not everyone actually believes in it.
That’s why, to help restore people's faith in love, we’ve compiled a list of stories from married couples as they reveal how exactly they knew their spouse was the one. Fair warning: you may turn into a pile of mush after reading these posts.

After we had been together for 4 years I asked her to marry me and she said " you don't have to marry me, I'd follow you to the ends of the earth anyway"
That was reassuring 😁
Some long time later she told me that after the very first evening we met she told her grandmother " I've met the boy I'm going to marry"
What other choice did I have!

I've always felt when I began loving her for what she wasn't. I fell in love with her faults and realized that we balanced each other. She loved me for me, and I'd never had that before.

It was such a small, random moment.
We had only been dating a couple of weeks, and we were driving to see a movie. He said something that made me laugh and put his hand on my knee and I just remember looking over at him and having this moment of realisation - being with him was so easy, so fun, and I felt so light and happy. I had this deep feeling of "this is right, this is it".
A decade and 2 kids later, I still feel that way around him.

When I saw that he could handle my crazy and instead of combating me, calmed me down and made me feel at ease. That’s when I knew, this man is a keeper and he really cares about me and not about winning some stupid fight.
Also the way he worships and looks after me. Coffee made every morning, tells me he loves me everyday, call me beautiful all the time even when I feel the ugliest, and takes “moments” to appreciate the love he has for me, no matter where we are - middle of a grocery store, when we’re driving, or if we’re cooking dinner together.
I love my husband. I am so incredibly lucky to find him.

This was when we were friends, before we even started dating. My sister attempted, ended up in hospital, just before her birthday. Obviously it was a really difficult time for her and for all of us. He specifically bought her a board game so that we could spend time playing it together as a family.

98% of the time we have our ups and 2% we have our downs. When we do have our downs, we like to discuss the problem together and figure out a way so this issue doesn’t happen again and it makes us stronger as a couple. Our relationship from the beginning felt like a strong flowing river, it felt so natural with few bumpy rocks here and there. Your gut feeling will know ;)

I broke up with her after a year,
And within a day I realized that was the biggest mistake I ever did.
(We are together since we are 18yo and we are now 36yo).

I'd never met anyone like him. We just clicked immediately: same values and sense of humor. He completely accepted me as I am and became my best friend in a week. Together 9 years. .

I figured she had all my money, and that a future divorce would mean I could get half back...
*(have been annoying her with this one for 19 years (and hope to do so for many, many more)).
