Posted by Jill Renee in : Engagement Rings, Proposing Marriage , trackbackHe’s on bended knee before you and the stars in the night sky are sparkling, and he’s giving you his beautiful interpretation of “I want to spend the rest of my life with you,†and everything is phenomenal and romantic . . .

This insightful article can help reaffirm that you’ve found what you’ve been looking for, or help you come to the conclusion that it may be time to move on.
Is He the One?
Ten Questions to Ask Yourself
Want to know whether your current Mr. Right could be your mate for life? In this excerpt from Is He the One? 101 Questions That Will Lead You to the Truth, Whatever That Is, author Susan Swimmer says the honest answers to a few key questions could help you find out. Here are 10 to get you started:
1. Does he think he’s a lucky guy? You’d like to think that he is a man who understands that life is made up of part luck and part hard work, and that both elements will affect him at some point. A man who thinks himself lucky in any way is someone who radiates gratitude, which in turn creates an aura of joyousness. And that’s all good. But what really matters is that, at the very least, he is a man who feels wildly fortunate to have you in his life, because a guy who feels that way will make sure you know you’re adored. And how lucky is that?
2. Are his little faults things you can handle? Everyone is bugged by something. Does he drink directly from the carton? Hang sweaty clothes on the bathroom door? Stockpile old newspapers? Say no more. Ladies, there will always be habits that could drive you batty enough to head for the door, if you let them. But accepting someone, little faults and all, is part of love. You’ve got to think big picture here: Don’t let his habit of rattling ice in a glass cloud your vision of a man who’s caring, respectful, honest and loving. And that’s to say nothing of the fact that you crack your knuckles and leave half-empty coffee cups all over the house.
