If it were any other person, their practice of wearing sandals with socks or leaving towels on the bathroom floor would be like nails on a chalkboard. But how can you tell when you truly love someone? It’s a good sign if you find their more eccentric habits endearing rather than annoying. Though even the most loyal lover can only put up with certain things for so long, it’s better to be amused than irritated, even if it doesn’t last. It extends beyond sex. Science says that sex matters. Research indicates a connection between regular sex and overall wellbeing. Numerous studies have shown that having sex can actually improve your physical health by reducing discomfort, stress, and immune system function2. But if you’re asking, “How can you tell if someone is the one you truly love?” Consider what sex means in your relationship as a helpful starting point for your analysis. You’ll know it’s more than just a crush if you have a deep connection outside of the bedroom or if you would be together even if sex was momentarily off the menu. You unknowingly learn things from one another.
