How do you know that your partner is "the one"?

I don't know if there is any correct answer to it. I am married for last twenty three years, knew him for seven years before marriage but was not into any romantic relationship, but just as a good friend. Our marriage was arranged and fixed by family. And I am grateful to God to have such a wonderful person in my life. We went for a dinner date first time after our engagement ceremony.

Well, I guess nothing is ever 100%, but praying about your decision before making a final commitment would be important to me. I have heard even brief premarital counseling helps aid in the reassurance you’re indeed on the same page, and the right route. My dad has given many premarital counseling sessions by hundreds of couples (he’s a pastor). In my state they give you a discount on your marriage license if you attend a few premarital counseling sessions. If people put their partner’s needs before their own they probably have a good chance of making it. My family is huge, and only two have ever been divorced. It also helps to put God first. But many others have had successful marriages other ways as well!

My husband and I got along perfect with each other so I knew he was the right one for me.

You never can be "sure"... I've been married and divorced twice... I much prefer to stay single now. No more heartbreak and I can choose what to do without asking someone else if they prefer to do something else instead.

It's not easy to commit to marriage, marriage has various trials. There are those who try to survive and there are those who choose to end it. Reflecting on what happened to my parents' household, my father insisted that he would not divorce my mother no matter what.
