1. When you do something very normal or silly that you always do and receive a look of such genuine admiration that it melts you. It's the "of course you brought donuts for your co-worker's birthday," or "of course you forgot to put the toothpaste cap on again" look that reminds you that you are loved for who you really are.
2. When you take a short moment to watch the person you love walk away, get into a car, or pick something up, and you stop to admire the way their body moves. It's that moment when you realize you're basically checking them out from a distance. You then feel a tinge of excitement when you remember that this is the person you're in love with.
3. When you've had literally the worst day on the planet. You come home feeling defeated and alone only to be reminded with a forehead kiss or comfort pizza already ordered that you're never alone even on your worst days.
4. When you're having a disagreement and then all of a sudden you end up laughing in spite of yourselves.
5. When you're at a dinner or celebration of some kind with each other's families and it just feels like home. When family love crosses divides and you find that you have a new member of your family and are a new member of another. Loving moments just seem to multiply.
6. When you spend a few Friday nights staying in with trivia games, Netflix and pizza. You feel an insane comfort knowing that with one person, you can create any amount of fun that you may have needed so much more for in the past.
7. When you accomplish something amazing or even just have a marvelously funny story brewing in your mind and your heart swells up with excitement to tell them.
8. When life hands you adversity. Whether these struggles be within your relationship or family, or only in your own life, some of the most rewarding moments of love come when you feel like the world is caving in. Because you know that there will always be someone to protect you. You know in your heart that they will never leave you abandoned and afraid.
9. When you are completely exposed to someone, and yet you feel nothing but safety and love. This can mean anything, from moments of intimacy to being emotionally exposed and vulnerable. You know you are showing all that you are and are loved for it.
10. When little things like catching their scent from a t-shirt make your chest tighten and warm.
11. When you are faced with life decisions and you have a partner and best friend to support and guide you.
12. When you get really wrapped up in meaningful conversation and you note how incredible their ideas are. Being able to learn from the person you love can create some amazing moments.
