All of you ladies who are in a serious relationship have no doubt asked yourself the golden question, "How will I know?"
You shouldn't be ashamed of wondering whether or not he's the "one." Every human being asks this question at least once. Even Whitney Houston wrote a song about not knowing how she'll know when she's found the man she's meant to be with.
However, unlike Whitney in her pop hit, you'll be given an answer. While every relationship is different and unique, the following list is composed of some ideal characteristics that tend to make for some happy relationships.
As you read through the list, consider whether or not these are characteristics you would want in your man. The point of this list is to make sure you are happy with who you've decided to commit yourself to. Life is too short to settle when it comes to love.
So get out your pencil and paper ladies, and see how many of these statements describe your man to a T.
