How do you know if he or she is the "right one?" How do you determine if what you are feeling is genuine love? Walter Trobisch, author of I Married You, offers six tests of love and Dr. H. Norman Wright added four additional tests to consider. 1) The sharing test - are you able to share together? 2) The strength test - does your love give you new strength and fill you with creative energy? 3) The respect test - do you really have respect for each other? 4) The habit test - do you accept each other with your habits and shortcomings? 5) The quarrel test - are you able to forgive each other after a "real" conflict? 6) The time test - have you known each other long enough to know each other well? 7) The separation test - is there pain in separation? 8) The giving test - Are you capable of self-giving? 9) The growth test - Is your love progressively maturing? 10) The sexuality test - is there mutual enjoyment of each other without the constant need of physical expression?
