If your partner does these 12 things, you should think about keeping them forever.

You deserve to be loved with no uncertainty. You should never have to question how he feels about you. You need someone who will show you every single day how he feels, not only through little day to day actions, but in every single thing that he does.

If you haven’t already, find someone who…

1. You can truly be yourself with. 

He should make you feel beautiful and comfortable in your own skin and make you forget all of your self-doubts.

2. Will spontaneously send you a letter or sweet text, for no other reason than to make you smile.

He knows how much it means to you, and he wants to make you happy.

3. Will turn your bad days around. 

He’ll do anything he can to make you smile or brighten your day, even if it means temporarily putting aside his own problems.

4. Listens to you and truly pays attention. 

You’ll know you found him when he surprises you with that bracelet you saw in that store window or takes you to the new restaurant you’ve been dying to try.

5. Will show up at your door in the middle of a fight just to make sure you are okay.

It doesn’t matter what he’s doing or the time of day, he will find a way to be there to dry your tears and hold you until everything is better.

6. Will go out of his way to show you that he’s willing to fight for you. 

Find the one who would never let you go to sleep hurting or upset because of him. The one who just can't bear the thought of you in pain.

7. Intuitively knows what you need and then does it without hesitation.

Whether it’s bringing you soup when you’re sick or simply being a shoulder to cry on, he’s there without you ever having to ask.

8. Is thoughtful and will surprise you and plan out dates for the two of you.

This guy will care enough to take the time to plan out even the smallest details and make sure everything is taken care of.

10. You can have late nights and deep conversations with.

He'll be someone you can talk to about absolutely anything and will do the same with you in return.

9. Will always be patient with you, even at your weakest moments. 

He will understand your past and accept your flaws even when you don’t. He'll get why certain things make you so upset and embrace it.

He'll be someone you can talk to about absolutely anything and will do the same with you in return.

11. You can be goofy with. 

Find someone who makes you laugh so hard, you feel like your insides might explode.

12. Knows when to be serious too. 

He'll know when you aren't in the joking mood. He gets that certain things aren't laughing matters. He knows when to be a man and sit down and talk like a grown up.

If you have already found this kind of love, I hope you know how lucky you are. Hold on to this man, and never let him go.

If you haven't quite found him yet, just know that he is out there and he is waiting for you. Everyone deserves to feel loved this way.

Thie is the biggest load of rubbish I have ever read. Really want to know what it is all about - LOVE; and it is ugly and difficult. My wife and I love each other deeply, however struggling through numerous IVF cycles, and lost children before having a set of wonderful twin babies, your start to understand what love and real commitment is about. If you think that love, loyalty and solidarity is a walk in the park, and that love is as simple as that that giggling partner who make you feel warm and fuzzy with no effort on your part, then you and the author of this bullshit article need to get a grip! Lets just follow the 12 simples steps - really???? This is what represents journalism and/or relationship advice???? Love is team work, difficult times, dedication and devotion to each other, regardless of the circumstances. Fight together, and fight for each other - ALWAYS. Regardless of the shallow nature of this rubbish article stay true to each other for real reasons - Shame Mama Mia - Shallow!

I love that - what you've described! It can be ugly & messy but also so wonderful and beautiful!
I did read the article thinking "yes we both do that for each other" & I think that's a key too, that you both strive every day for happiness and even in the worst times, so long as one of you is fighting for your relationship you'll always come back to each other. Someone once said that's the key to a long lasting & happy marriage - so long as one of you is always madly in love with the other, no matter how dark times get you'll always survive & thrive.

Congratulations on your precious kids!!!
