Finding a soulmate, someone who completes you and makes you want to be a better person is a difficult task. If you're in love, follow the signs to make sure you found the one.

Real love is uplifting. Your partner isn't perfect, no one is, but they are perfect for you. And really, that's all that matters. But how in the world are we supposed to know that we should stop looking?

Here are the seven most common signs that your partner the ideal choice for you:

You read each other like a book

Who needs words when all you have to do is look at your partner and know what's on their mind?

Most of the time, you feel like you're communicating on a different level. You know each other, and it feels as if your connection is unbreakable.

It's a gut feeling

To take your relationship to the next level, you have to trust your instincts.

If your gut's telling you that they're the one, listen to it. Scientists call it your second brain for a reason.

You are inspired to be the better person

Finding The One means finding someone who will accept you fully. They will also give you a push to be better and do more.

When you have love and support, everything is possible. And you show your gratitude by becoming the best version of yourself.

You challenge each other

Real love isn't ideal. Life brings us all kinds of challenges and obstacles. People argue, say unkind words, but if your partner's the one, you'll get through it.

Despite everything, if the two of you have the power to conquer each challenge, you're meant to be.

Love isn't smooth sailing, but you are both putting the effort to make the most out of every bad situation.

You make decisions together

Whenever you're thinking about the future, your partner is always included. And it goes both ways: career, education, home, kids, every decision and dream revolve around the two of you.

You face the world as one

Though you two don't have a lot in common when it comes to the little things, you face the world together.

You're two grown-up individuals, and there's no reason to act otherwise. It doesn't matter how similar or different personalities you have, as long as you can rely on each other when it truly matters.

There's no need to dig in the past

Whatever you had, whomever your partner dated before doesn't matter anymore.

You're secure enough to let go of the past and to enjoy each day just by being with each other. That sense of security and intimacy are the reason you don't feel the need to be anywhere but right here.

There's nothing wrong with talking about the life you had before you met, but it feels light and fun. But your focus is on what's to come, and you're not the same people you were before.

True love is effortless; it's gentle and kind. It's also scary because you're opening yourself fully to someone. But, if they make you happy and if they make your life better and more fulfilled, they might be worth risking everything.

How do you recognize if they are the one? Easy: when you know, you know!
