This question is to all the married folks out there. When you met your spouse, did you automatically know that he or she was the one? How soon after you met did you know? How did you know? Would like to hear some nice romantic stories.

Yes!
2 Months or less.
Mutual admiration and a common, sensual goal.
33 years this June and I still like her.

It was immediate for me. Very weird. Almost as if somebody had opened a door.

She knew by the fourth date. We were engaged in three months, married within ten. Married for 17 years now.

If you have to ask, you probably aren't with "the one".

there never was such a creature. its reality isa function of your own fidelity.
when you enter the endless sea of "meaningful relationships", "the one" gets further and further away not closer.

I didn't know he was "the one", but I was also never one who believed in that "romantic" idea. Our relationship was (an still is) a natural progression. I do feel I lucked out and found the best man in the whole world and I can't imagine life without him. I don't think any man could hold a candle to my husband.

I knew he was "the one" when I realized I could live without him but I didn't want to.

27 years later I was right.

I knew she was "the one" when I saw the fat a$$ staring at me. I have been worshiping it ever since.

After a couple of dates, I *knew* I wanted to marry my wife. Engaged about 7-8months later and married about 1.5 years after meeting. She was 32, I was 25....we wanted kids...I thought that I needed to make a move or not. The idea of her not being with me and with someone else was all I needed to convince me.

That my friends would have beaten me to death for my stupidity if I didnt marry her might have also been a consideration.

We talked on the phone and online for a week before meeting so I reallllly loved his personality.

when we met in real life I was not as interested but by our 4th date I was ready for him to kiss me just to know if I'm wasting my time.

When he kissed me I KNEW. I had never felt that way from the other kisses I had gotten over the years from other men. We moved in together a month later, 2 months later he proposed and a month later we were marreid. getting ready for our 3 yr anniversary from our first date. yyayyyya

From that first kiss we have never been apart except when We moved from NV to MT and he had to be here 3 weeks before me to start his job.
