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.

    What are the signs that it is only lust?

  8. Julie on April 30th, 2009 2:00 am

    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?!?!?!

    okay….
    everyone on here is always talking about themselves and their problems of how do i know its love? What are the signs? Is it love or lust?
    Have a deep think about why you are asking all these questions?
    Its because you have doubt about who you are with. Ive been there, ive tried to pretend to love someone and make up a love story in my head. But seriously if things arn’t working out its for a reason. You may truly love the person but its not the right time, you may make excuses up for your lover and live a life from your head and not your heart. It sounds cheesy but its seriously how you feel them with your heart. I believe to have a deep connection with someone you need to feel them everywhere from your mind, heart, pelvis area your soul. You also need to feel comfortable around that person enough to be who you really are.

    If your still asking the question:
    what is love????
    i guess you havn’t really found love until you have an answer.

    Make sense?

    p.s. being alone is the most precious time to get to know yourself and have freedom. Never be afraid of being alone.

    I have this guy who helped me come to Christ at a very low point in my life (Paul). He happens to be the best friend on the guy I was dating(Robert). The guys i had been dating was not a Christian(Robert). Needless to say I gave my life to Christ almost 2 months ago in the presence of this friend.(Paul) Hope your following me….Right after I gave my life to Christ I confronted Paul about possibly being more than friends. He said he didnt see me that way and only as a friend. Well time has gone by now and we’ve spent alot of time together since and I am finding him more and more attractive. I keep praying to know more about these feelings and nothing happens except the feelings get stronger. He seems as though his feelings are changing but since he hasnt heard from God that its ok he wont admit it…. Im struggling right now because i dont know wut to do. I feel like i could be completely wrong and feel dumb and hurt if i say something. I dont want to get hurt, what shud i do? He is a very goal oriented Christian and i feel as though he waits for God to tell him wut his next move shud be and he has a lot of things he wants to accomplish. I also feel like thats why hes not considering dating at this time because he doesnt want anyone to stand in the way of wut he wants to accomplish. HELPPP

    I fell in love with a guy. But ya know it can become difficult to figure out if he is really “the one”. You never know if it’s your wants getting in the way. So i was pretty unsure.
    My good friend once told me, “Love can be blind, not showing whats really there.”
    I honestly think he is the one, but Im gonna have to see what God does in my life.

    I am in a very bad situation, please help me if you are a human being in a real meaning……Plz. The story is that I am in LOVE with my cousin, it is in an extream level & it is imposible for me to marry him as it is restricted in our family. I am in the situation that neither I can marry to someone else nor I can marry to him. I am in a very difficult situation. Please help me out by your kind & valued suggestions. I will really pray for you….. Waiting!!!

    There’s a woman that I’m really really attracted. I am nervous at the same time excited when she’s around. She’s fond of telling jokes and I would laugh out loud. She’s been on my head everyday, every moment, every night. When we look at each other there’s something unexplainable that we both know we have. I am now wondering if this is already love, infatuation or merely lust?

    My husband has been having an affair for 2 months now.
    he’s claiming he’s fallen “in love” with her.
    he’s claims he puts God first, then HER, then our kids.
    but he hasnt been reading the bible, or praying
    and has even stopped coming to church all together!
    this girl is only 18! (my husband is 25!)
    please pray that he sees this girls true colours
    (both her and her mother KNOW he’s married and they’re ok with it!)
    please pray for clarity, guidance and wisdom, that the sin he is committing gives him such intense guilt that he may turn away in disgust and cry out to Jesus.
    we’ve been together for 6 years, married for 5 months before all this happened, and we were baptised together the day after our wedding!
