If you are reading this, you are likely to be curious if your relationship has what it takes to go to the next level. If you are already on your way there, then you are just visiting to check if the status of your relationship corresponds with the signs.

You must be thinking if the face of your partner is first thing you want to wake up to every morning, and the first person to annoy with your antics! Okay, we planted that in your head, but you are thinking about it, right!? We’re also kidding about the annoying bit, since your partner is supposed to love you for who you are. But hey, what’s fun without a little teasing and weird habits?

A marriage is a beautiful phase, as it represents the life-long commitment between two people who are dedicated to spend the rest of their lives together. But how do you know if you are there? Based on our bridal consultant’s experience with different couples, we have boiled it down to these seven unmistakable signs!

1. Being Able To Finish Each Other’s Sentences.

You don’t need to hire a psychic to read your partner’s mind: you are likely to have that abilityyourself! For some supernatural reason, you know the words to finish his sentences and the next thought that is going to pop up in his mind. You know what he is thinking and you don’t even need to ask him to elaborate on his opinions, simply because you get it.

Well, by being able to know what the other person is thinking, there won’t any playing hard to get, or quarrel-until-everyday-unhappy.  Okay, the second bit was made up, but you know it is true! Your wedding preparations will not be littered with mini-heart attacks and unprecedented surprises. Instead, it will be streamlined, as the differences are most likely to have been smoothed out through complete understanding of each other’s brainwaves.

2. Knowing That Happiness Is The Key To A Long-Lasting Relationship

Most couples reach this stage when they are able to compromise certain circumstances to ensure that the happiness is preserved and not tarnished by trivial matters.

However, this does not mean there won’t be a lack of disagreements. No disagreement is a good sign, but that’s exceptionally rare … and humans have very eccentric minds, which explains the unexplainable (see what we did there?) random mood swings.

But the difference is how you are able to set aside your differences and work out a solution together, instead of harping on about the nitty gritty details that are not subject to immediate change. This is an essential ingredient in a happy wedding, because the absence of this mindset will destroy your big day in front of your very own eyes. If you choose to view everything with bitterness and anger, then we can assure you that it is something that will not produce the best results.

3. Enjoying The Same Hobbies Or Having The Same Habits

Your friends probably accuse you of being so similar. From the way you two laugh at the same kind of jokes (which they usually don’t understand and scratch their heads at), having the same liking for a certain type of food, and even how (eerily) similar looking you both are! Because you both have been together for a while, somehow you two start to enjoy the same hobbies together. Even though opposites attract, similarities are usually the icing on the cake!

4. Appreciating Each Other’s Different Preferences

You may like to spend your time browsing through online shopping sites; he may enjoy playing computer games, such as Counter Strike. You prefer to watch chick flicks; he prefers the action and loud noises of cars racing against each other!

But here’s the difference. You might not know how to play computer games, but somehow you are able to sit beside him (miraculously) and root for him as he destroy his enemies. He doesn’t get chick flicks, but still watches the movie of your choice because he knows it will make you happy.

And that my friend, is a sign of appreciating each other’s preferences! Instead of nitpicking at each other’s idiosyncrasies, the both of you complement with each other, resulting in fruitful marriage that everybody will envy you for.

Look out for Part 2 of this article, where we look at the final three unmistakable signs that you are destined to be together forever!
