We all want to feel loved, don’t we?

Sometimes it seems like the depth of our partner’s commitment is as much a mystery as the far side of the moon.

You are left wondering if they are as deeply invested in you as you are in them.

Sound familiar? It’s not just you. Many of us question whether the love we receive is as profound as the love we give.

But hey, don’t lose heart yet.

Your partner may be more committed than you think. Sometimes, the signs aren’t all that apparent.

In this article, we will explore 7 behaviors that indicate a deep commitment from your partner.

Some might surprise you.

Perhaps, you’re already familiar with these behaviors… shall we dive in?

1) They make time for you

We all have busy lives, don’t we? Between work, hobbies, friends, and family, it can feel like there’s never enough time.

But here’s the thing: when someone is deeply committed to you, they make time.

I remember back when my partner and I were just starting out. He had a demanding job, a vibrant social life, and plenty of hobbies. Yet, somehow, he always found time for me.

It wasn’t about grand gestures or expensive dates. It was about those shared moments on the couch watching our favorite show or those late-night chats that seemed to stretch on forever.

This showed me that he valued our relationship enough to prioritize it amidst all the chaos.

2) They show interest in your interests

Isn’t it an amazing feeling when your partner shows genuine interest in what you’re passionate about?

I’m a huge art enthusiast, while my partner… well, let’s just say he wouldn’t know Van Gogh from Picasso.

Despite this, he accompanies me to art exhibitions and patiently listens to my excited ramblings about different art forms and artists.

This shows me that he respects my interests and wants to be a part of them. And that my friends, is a sign of deep commitment!

3) They stand up for you

Being in a committed relationship means having someone who’s got your back, come what may.

This isn’t just about stepping in when someone is being mean to you. It’s also about supporting your decisions and beliefs, even when others don’t.

The famous duo, John Lennon and Yoko Ono, were an excellent example of this. When Yoko was blamed for the breakup of The Beatles, Lennon stood by her side against the world, defending her and their love.

That’s the kind of commitment where they aren’t just your partner but also your biggest cheerleader and defender.

4) They accept your flaws

In the early stages of a relationship, we often try to present the best version of ourselves. But as time passes, our vulnerabilities and flaws become more visible.

A partner who’s deeply committed won’t just tolerate these imperfections, they’ll accept them. They understand that these flaws are part of what makes you uniquely you.

It’s like a beautifully cracked pot, where each crack contributes to its charm and character. And my friend, if your partner embraces your quirks, your mistakes, and your insecurities, know that it’s a sign they’re deeply committed to you.

5) They include you in their future plans

One thing I’ve noticed about being in a deeply committed relationship is the way my partner talks about the future. It’s no longer “I” but “we”. It wasn’t a sudden shift but a gradual one that I began to notice.

We started discussing things like holiday plans, potential homes, even the number of dogs we’d adopt!

It was through these conversations that I realized I wasn’t just a part of his present, but also his future. When your partner consistently includes you in their long-term plans, it’s a clear indication of their intention.

6) They trust you

Trust is the bedrock of any strong relationship. More than just being honest and loyal to each other, trust means having faith in your partner’s decisions and capabilities.

I can’t emphasize enough how empowering it feels when your partner trusts you implicitly. It’s like having a safety net that allows you to take leaps of faith, knowing that they’ll be there to catch you if you stumble.

7) They make sacrifices for you

We often associate sacrifice with something negative. But in a deeply committed relationship, sacrifice is an act of love.

It’s about prioritizing the other person’s needs and happiness over your own.

Just in my opinion, the story of Prince Edward who gave up his claim to the British throne to marry Wallis Simpson, a divorced American socialite. That’s one grand sacrifice for love!

But it doesn’t have to be that dramatic always. Small sacrifices, like giving up a night out with friends to take care of you when you’re sick or changing their plans to accommodate yours, are equally significant.

Last words

That wraps up our list of behaviors that indicate deep commitment from your partner.

You know everyone expresses commitment in different ways.

The key is to keep an open heart and mind to recognize these signs when they show up in your relationship. Good luck, may love finds its way to you!
