How to know when someone really loves you 2015-11-18T11:46:04-05:00 Dave Willis
Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

Have you ever wondered if someone really loves you? I think we’ve all been there. As kids, you can pass notes that ask the question bluntly: “Do you love me? Check yes or no.” As adults, it gets a little more complicated. We long for the security of knowing your friends are true friends and your family has your back and your spouse (or fiancee or boyfriend/girlfriend) truly adores you.
So, how do we know? And, how do we communicate that WE really love our own loved ones. Below, I’ll explain the simplest “Litmus test of Love.” In my new book The Seven Laws of Love: Essential Principles for Building Stronger Relationships there’s a FREE bonus chapter called “How to Know When Someone Really Loves You” which you can download instantly when you preorder the book. This chapter is available exclusively for those who preorder the book The process of researching and writing this book was a life-changing experience for me, and I hope and pray that reading it is a life-changing experience for you as well!
So, how do we know when someone really loves you? Here how:
There are many factors to know that real love is present. I outline the 5 keys to knowing when someone really loves you in the free chapter I mentioned above but ONE of the most important ways to know is simply this: When someone loves you, they’ll show up when you need them most.
Time is the “currency” of relationships and investing in any relationship requires an investment of time. When you really love someone, you won’t just show up in those moments that are convenient for you; you’ll show up in the moments that are most important for them. When you’re facing struggles and everyone else is running away from your mess, those who truly love you will rush into your mess so you won’t face it alone. When you’re hurting the most, look around at those who have reached out to you, prayed for you, supported you and encouraged you. Those are the ones who truly love.
