Anybody who truly love you will not be envious of you on matter your success, even if you are more successful than him. If he or she hates it when you succeed, move forward or prosper, he or she is not in love with you.

4.      IT DOES NOT BOAST: To boast means to us words in talking about something, about oneself. When a guy or lady is boastful whenever he or she is with you.

7.      IT IS NOT SELF-SEEKING:- True love is not selfish, not self-centered but selfless, not I’’ me’’ mine’’ myself’’ but about ‘’you’’ about’’ we’’ us’’ and’’ our’’. It does not give room for self-glorification, self-praise, self-justification, self-conceit, self-judgment and stinginess. If all he talks about is himself, if nothing goes except it favour’s him or her don’t marry him or her.

10.    IT DOES NOT DELIGH IN INIQUITY:- Is your lover a child of God? Does he or she love the Lord? Does he rejoice in purity, or his or her joy is in sexual immorality? If his joy is about pre-marital sex, I doubt whether he loves you. Maybe all he what is sex; he doesn’t really want to take you to altar; maybe all he want is taking you to bed.

11.    BUT REJOICE IN TRUTH:- Does he tell the true? Is she honest? Does he rejoice in the truth? If you have seen him or her lie to others he or she may be deceiving you too. True love rejoice in truth.

13.    ALWAYS TRUST:- It is possible to trust somebody you don’t really love, but it is almost impossible to truly love somebody you don’t truly trust if he or she does not trust you, he or she may be full of envy

 and insecurity. This will be dangerous for your future life, marry only somebody who terst you enough to believe in you that is the person who loves you.

14.    ALWAYS HOPES:- To hope means to be in state of feeling, that what you want, think plans and expectation will come. Does he or she trust you enough to believe in you that you will not disappoint? Is he or she full of fear to the extent that he or she double dates.

Saying he is afraid you may drop him or her. It will be totally wrong to marry somebody who does not have hope in God and in you.

15.    ALWAYS PERSEVERS:- To persevere mean to continue to do something in spite of the difficulties involved.

MOST MODERN LOVERS ARE FAIR WEATHER FRIENDS.

They stay with you when things work well; but abscond in time of challenges. True lovers are know to stay with each other in times of difficulties, they are anchors to each other in time of storm. Don’t ever marry anybody who only loves to see you in a “glittering gown” but hates you whom you wear a “work overall”.
