What Is True Love in a Relationship? 5 Undeniable Signs

We’ve all wondered at some point, “What is true love in a relationship?”

It’s a question that has puzzled hearts and minds for centuries.

In our previous article, “Is Love a Commitment, a Choice, or Just a Feeling?” we explored the different facets of love. Now, we’re taking a deeper dive into true love and what it really means in a relationship.

What Does True Love Really Mean?

True love means fully accepting your partner as a whole person, with all their strengths and flaws, and feeling a deep, lasting connection. It involves mutual respect, healthy communication, and unconditional support, making both partners feel happy and understood.

Or as one of our favorite philosophers, Gottfried Leibniz defined it in his Theory of the Good:

“Love is the pleasure one takes in the happiness and perfection of others”

Over the years, our gifted psychics have provided spiritual insights to countless individuals seeking love and relationship guidance.

We’ve seen the highs and lows, the doubts and the certainties.

Through these experiences, we’ve come to understand the signs of true love and the qualities of loving healthy relationships.

And that’s what we’ll share in this article.

So, whether you’re in a new relationship or still searching for that special someone, we hope our knowledge will help you navigate the sometimes tricky waters of love.

The 5 Undeniable Signs of True Love

Love is a combination of actions, emotions, and shared experiences. Here are five undeniable signs that you’ve found true love in your relationship.

You Feel Comfortable Being Your Authentic Self

With true love, you don’t need to pretend or hide parts of yourself. You feel at ease showing your partner every facet of your personality, quirks and all.

We’ve seen many couples where one person was afraid to reveal their true self, fearing rejection. But their relationship blossomed into something beautiful and lasting when they finally opened up.

That’s a sign of true love as clear as day.

You Support Each Other’s Dreams and Growth

In a truly loving relationship, partners encourage each other to pursue their dreams and become the best version of themselves.

You’re not in competition…instead, you celebrate each other’s successes.

For example, if you want to change careers, your partner supports your decision and helps you research options…even if that means you’ll have to be in a long-distance relationship.

You Have a Deep Sense of Trust and Security

Trust is the foundation of true love.

You feel secure in your relationship, knowing your partner has your back. This doesn’t mean you never disagree, but you face challenges together.

Addressing conflicts constructively is one of the ways to maintain happiness in a relationship.

Not long ago, we worked with a woman who shared how her partner’s unwavering support during a family crisis made her realize the depth of their love.

You Communicate Openly and Honestly

Healthy communication is very important. And when you have it, that’s a typical sign of true love.

You can express your feelings, thoughts, and concerns without fear of judgment. Even in disagreements, you listen to the other person’s perspectives and work towards understanding.

We’ve guided many couples to stronger, more loving relationships by helping them improve how they communicate.

You Feel a Special Connection That Goes Beyond Words

True love often involves a sense of connection that’s hard to describe.

You might feel like you’ve known each other for lifetimes or have an inexplicable bond.

Many folks we work with describe this as a “gut feeling” that sets their relationship apart from others they’ve experienced. In some cases, this is what we call a psychic connection between lovers.

Now that we’ve covered the signs of true love, let’s discuss the characteristics of loving and healthy relationships. In other words, what shows that each partner wants to keep the other person happy?

The 5 Qualities of Loving Relationships

Here are the five common qualities in strong, lasting partnerships we’ve observed over the years.

Mutual Respect and Appreciation

In loving relationships, partners respect each other as separate human beings with their own values and dreams. They appreciate each other’s differences and don’t try to change or control one another.

So, if you’ve accepted each other’s differences and celebrated your individuality, you have a strong foundation of trust and understanding.

In our experience, this leads to unconditional love and long-lasting relationships.

Emotional and Physical Intimacy

While relationship coaches debate whether emotional or physical closeness is more important, our practice shows that both are essential for maintaining true love.

Partners in loving relationships share their innermost thoughts and strong feelings, creating a deep emotional connection.

They also maintain physical intimacy, not just through sexual affection but also through simple gestures like holding hands…a very effective method when trying to save a dying relationship as well.

Shared Responsibility and Teamwork

Every loving relationship thrives on partnership. Both individuals or family members take responsibility and work together to overcome obstacles.

You might have heard the famous Fawn Weaver quote that starts with:

“The Greatest Marriages Are Built on Teamwork”

Think of everything from sharing household chores to supporting each other during tough times.

Most couples that have found balance enjoy stronger, more harmonious relationships.

Forgiveness and Understanding

No relationship is perfect…and true love doesn’t mean never making mistakes.

What matters is how couples handle these situations. In successful relationships, partners are willing to forgive, try to understand each other’s perspectives and learn from their experiences.

Similar to how forgiveness is a way to heal from a broken heart spiritually, it is a gift to your partner, allowing love to bloom.

We’ve helped many transform relationships once they realize forgiveness is a key ingredient.

Maintaining Individual Identities

While loving relationships involve a strong connection, they also allow space for individual growth.

Partners support each other’s personal interests, friendships, and goals outside the relationship. This balance between togetherness and individuality keeps the relationship fresh and exciting.

As Tamsen Firestone wrote in her article:

“To be a better person in your life and a good partner in your relationship, it’s critical that you strive to maintain a strong sense of independence and autonomy and a well-developed point of view”

Our Final Words on True Love in Relationships

True love in a relationship is a beautiful journey of growth, understanding, and mutual support. The strengths and values you bring to the relationship fuel this journey.

A process that involves accepting each other wholly, communicating openly, and nurturing a deep connection that goes beyond surface-level attraction.

As we’ve explored, true love manifests in various ways…from feeling comfortable being your authentic self to supporting each other’s dreams and maintaining individual identities.

We are certain about one thing:

Every relationship is unique, and the path to true love isn’t always smooth!
