How do you know if you've found the one?

[Harrison_z]

For those of you who have been married how did you know she was the one? Like what was the process?

I'm not married but I believe the right one is the one whose schedule in life matches yours. Guys that were perfect for me when I was 19 were terrible for me when I was 21. Our personalities and schedules in life were no longer in sync and matching one another in that age in my time. One thing I observe from successful and married families is the husband and wife found each other before they became successful. I know one case, where two teenagers started dating, and in their 30s both had PhDs and they had been married ever since age 24. I know another case where 2 people began dating at 18 and later the girl got a PhD in psychology and the man got a degree in corporate law, from the same university they got accepted into for under grad where they met each other. My aunt owns a law farm and has a very good marriage and her husband met her before she became a lawyer. In their early relationship, he was the high status one and she was the one who had less status. Now she is the president of a law firm and he is her chauffeur.

You realize one day that you want to wake up next to her for the rest of your life. That you want to share all of life's experiences with her. That she accepts you with all your flaws and vulnerabilities.

First s date and then a marriage proposal and acceptance and then you know.

I don't know but it always says on the divorce paperwork that "the one" is taking half your shit, so I'll pass on the one.

I could not imagine life without her.
