How do you know if she's the one?

And when you get a little older and wiser you'll be looking for something a little more practical.

 
Considering how ridiculously high the divorce rate is these days, there really isn't a way to tell if that person is the one. More often than not, you end up making a mistake and have to start over from scratch.

In the past people also made mistakes. But divorce was not seen as an option, it had too much stigma attached to it & also women would not have any choice but to stay married due to having no financial independence. To state that divorce is "ridiculously high" needs to be put into context.
 
When you find a woman who makes you feel the thing that you have for her will not only be there for her if she got fat or lame from sickness or injury but it will be even stronger.

You know that if she were stricken down and you had to take care of her as if she was a baby for as long as it took you know without flinching once that you would gladly and humbly do it for the person that is inside of that body.

You know that you have trust, honor, respect and affection for her...you know she shares the same for you. Understanding that it's those four legs that the chair supporting your relationship will be supported with. Just as that chair would be wobbly and unstable to sit in missing one of those legs, so too would a relationship missing one of those elements. Missing 1 you could sit in it..balance yourself but occasionally you're going to fall over in it. Missing 2 of the 4 would be even more difficult to maintain your balance and keep it upright....3 nearly impossible, etc. That's exactly what happens in relationships that sporadically go off the tracks IMO. The severity and frequency is based around how many of those elements the relationship lacks. Get those 4...know she has them for you...you probably have yourself 'the one'.
 
There's no such thing, I think the thrill of the chase (she picks you over other men) and getting to know a new person create all this excitement in your head, she'll also seem fun and lively during these stages and open to all suggestions. Then you stay lumbered to each other for a while and get married and the guy thinks the relationship will still be the same except you'll be man and wife but no she'll change and you won't even recognise her anymore, she'll be more interested in the pair of you spending time with other couples and ban you from hanging around with your loser single mates secretly afraid they'll remind you of the wonderful life you once had. Maybe it's just maturing whilst the guy still feels some sort of youthful jest for life but she'll eventually suppress in into you. You'll go work everyday happy to be away from her and to be able to spend time with other people although you can't stand anyone you work with and if you're lucky enough to be allowed to go out after work (if you have kids you'll have to book that evening months in advance) you'll drink till you feel unable to be sad anymore about eventually going home to her. On the walk home you'll question the point of your existence and why you have less hair than the previous year or why your knees hurt when you walk up the stairs and then you reluctantly take your keys out to open the door to the hellhole you call home. You sit down together and she asks you how work was despite knowing you hate it then she'll talk about how the grocery shopping went or that she wants to change the colour of the curtains or carpets etc and you watch a bit of pointless tv before you go to bed. You lay in bed hoping to dream about being back at work eventhough you hate it and if you're lucky you fall asleep quickly. You get up in the morning and she nags you about not being up and organised or something you have to do after work and then the dark thoughts start entering your head, for a split second you imagine being mugged/robbed on the way home and the guy (high on drugs) shoots you clean in the head after taking your $12, you smile for the first time in days and get up to go brush your teeth.
