“How do you know when it’s true love?” A question that has entered the minds of humans of all ages over the eons of our existence. Is it rooted in infatuation? Compatibility? Emotional connection? A feeling of comfort? A combination of the above?

I believe that, just as much of the human experience, the concept of ‘love’ is a difficult one to explain. That’s why most people just say “When you know…you know.” It’s an attempt to express that love is something you just feel rather than something you’re able to pick apart and describe.

Love, also, is objective. We all experience it in different ways, express it in different ways, and receive it in different ways.

I do think, however, there are some universal pieces of the experience that, when we can recognize them, we can place them under the umbrella of “true love” and be confident that’s what we are feeling for another person.

What are some of these feelings? Let’s discuss…
