True Love Signs-How to Tell if it’s True Love or Lust

true love

Is is true love or simple physical attraction and lust? What are true love signs for Christian singles dating? How do you know you’ve found your “true love” of a life time?

Is It True Love?

The following true love prerequisites will help you gauge whether or not this person is “the one”:

True Love: The relationship causes both parties to grow closer to Jesus

True Love: There is implicit trust and no fear of being vulnerable

True Love: The couple has great communication with each other

True Love: Neither party doubts the truthfulness of the other

True Love: True love waits for sexual intimacy. Intense physical
attraction, but neither party defrauds the other (1 Thes. 4:6,7)

True Love: When there are disagreements (if you never had any, someone’s
not being real), the daters have learned how to argue,
but still remain close

True Love: There is no jealousy or controlling behavior.

True Love: Family members and friends confirm and approve of the dating relationship.

Closing True Love Thoughts

Of course, the above is not an exhaustive list of true love signs, but is useful in helping singles assess the potential of a true love match.

Is there such a thing as one true love, or can there be a number of “true loves” in one’e life?

    I am going thru a divorce because my husband continued to cheat on me. I have been with him for 10 years all together. I done everything I think I could of done to make it work. Someone else has been calling me that has been going thru the same thing as I have. Talking to him has been great because we have so much in common. I am really scared that he will also hurt me to. But I know he is a great guy because I have known him for a while. Why do I feel this way ?

    Dear Michelle:

    Are you still married? You have no right to be with this man, and besides, a Rebound Relationship will only cause you and him more pain. I will be praying for you.

    Ok True Love. Im with this guy that is about 5 years older then me. We dated before but then were forced apart. I know I Love him, But is it true? We get along, talk things out, waiting until marriage to have sex, trust each other, and when we’re together it feels like we’re one. he says he wants to marry me. But I want to know if its real. Can you help me???

    Hi. ok - so i know that the internet isn’t the best place to go for relationship advice, but i really need some help here. I think I’m in love with this guy - i mean, not just like the fluttery-heart crush - i seriously believe that i want to be with this guy for the rest of my life - to raise his babies and go through the good times and the bad times by his side. i honestly can’t picture myself with any one else. heres the catch - This guy is engaged. I know that he doesn’t really love the girl, but she loves him and he is very obsessed with her. so - do I keep silent and go to their wedding and try to be happy for them and have to live with myself? will this feeling ever pass? or do i tell him how i feel and risk ruining our friendship and perhaps their relationship? help.

    Hi, I am 16 years old. And dating a 23 year old guy.
    He is a VERY christan guy, he tells me that he loves me very much and that nothing matters to him as much as I do.
    I KNow that he wants to get married, sooner or later. But I am not sure what I am feeling for him. Its either I feel sorry for him…OR i really love him.Because when we are appart i really miss him and hope he was by me. But when he is with me…I feel like i really want to be with him. But its always diffrent, Sometimes i feel lonley. But i know that he loves me, but iam not sure if i do..! How do i find out?!?!?!
