Stop Guessing: 3 Proven Signs She's Right for You

Stop Guessing: 3 Proven Signs She's Right For You.

Are you wondering if she's "the one"? In this episode, I share the first 3 things I looked for in my wife, Emma, to know she was right for me. These aren't just abstract ideas, but practical steps based on my own experience. Let's dive in!

#1: Same Faith Foundation

Faith is central to everything.

Explain how a differing faith would create significant challenges.

“Missionary dating" and why it rarely works.

“I can change her” is a dangerous mindset.

#2: Shared Values

Beyond religion, core values are crucial.

You need to be in alignment on important areas like: Physical health, Family values, Views on travel and relocation, etc…

#3: Trustworthy Friends and Mentors Approve

The importance of external perspectives.

Oxytocin and the love goggles approve.

Trusted friends and mentors can offer objective insights.

Bonus: Chemistry Outside of Romance

"Do you get along in real life?"

Seek settings outside of romantic dinners.

Activities like: Serving the community, working together on a project.

This reveals true character and consistency over time.
