You know because there is no jealousy. There is a sense of peace and calmness about your relationship.There is trust, respect on both persons part. It feels like nothing you have probably ever experienced before ! This is what I told my son.
A good choice is a person that lives their life with integrity. This person should be compassionate, have a sense of humor, Want to be something and have some direction in life of where they want to be with you in it.
Treat each other with respect (esp when arguing.)
Cheat

Quoting Iconoclast:
How do you know if you're in love?
Like it is said in the movie The Matrix: "You just know it, balls to bone".
You never question whether or not you're in love because it is never a question.
What makes someone a good choice?
They respect you. You are their priority, not an option.
What is the one thing you should always do? (in regards to a relationship)
Remember to love yourself first, it will quell a lot of questions, reservations.
What is the one thing you should never do? (in regards to a relationship)
Never allow other's (outsiders) to dictate how it should go. My dad always told me to, "never let another woman inside your house". I took that to mean never let an outsider control your relationship. Always be careful of information divulged and the kind of light you shine on your partner and the relationship as a whole.
Quoting Iconoclast:How do you know if you're in love? You know your in love when you want to spend every moment with someone, when they are the first one you want to tell when something amazing or upsetting happens to you, when you think of them first thing in the morning and last thing at night, when breathing seems impossible without them.
What makes someone a good choice? That depends on the person...everyone has different ideals. I would tell my child that someone is a good choice if they make them laugh, make them feel special, make them feel valued, have similar likes and dislikes, and if they can have a conversation.
What is the one thing you should always do? (in regards to a relationship) Be honest.
What is the one thing you should never do? (in regards to a relationship) Lie

1) You just feel it, you just know. It can creep up on you, or it can smack you in the face (not literally of course). You don't have to question it. It's just there.
2) Someone who compliments you as a person, not consumes you.
3) You should always remember who you are; remember you are your own person. And always be honest, even when it hurts.
4) Don't cheat. It's just not worth it.
1.You'll feel it in your heart. You wanna be with that person all the time&wanna do/be better b/c of them.
2. Someone who gets you and never wants you "to change".
3.Tell the person how you really feel all the time. Don't take them for granted. If your not happy don't waste anyones time Never stay if they put hands on you.
4.No cheating, never lie. This shouldn't be an issue but keep hands to yourself!
You know someone is a good choice not just by things about them that attract you to them (i.e. good job, funny, smart, kind...) but by how they treat you. Someone can be the perfect partner of your dreams on paper, but if they don't treat you right and make you feel like you're worth the world to them, then they are not a good choice. The reverse is also true; you need to treat them well and respect them. Your happiness should be important to them, and their happiness should be important to you.
Always try to show them love, respect, and kindness. When something little makes you angry, remember why you chose to be with that person and that dirty socks on the floor again doesn't change who they are inside and what they mean to you. Let the unimportant things slide.
Never stay with someone just because you don't feel you have a good reason to break up. You can still like (even love) a person but know that they are not the one you will spend your life with. It's okay to end a relationship that isn't going anywhere even if you didn't fight. In the end you will both be better off.
2. Someone with good character and for me I'd add a person of faith
3. Never stop dating your spouse, it's the little things that count
4. Never cheat,physically or emotionally
How do you know if you're in love? Because all at once, you realize you can't imagine your world without your lover in it.
What makes someone a good choice? That person values you for who you are, not for what you can give on any particular day.
What is the one thing you should always do? (in regards to a relationship) Be honest about whether you can live with your partner's foibles and hang-ups. Don't lie and pretend the bad habits aren't there; they are and they won't get easier to live with over time. So don't ignore them; if you decide you can live with the idiosyncracies of your partner, and even love his or her quirks, you'll be fine.
What is the one thing you should never do? (in regards to a relationship) Never settle for a mediocre relationship because you are afraid of being alone, or because you don't think you can do better. Believe in yourself. True love is posible, and even probable, if yu let it happen naturally and don't force it.
not sure why it is bothering me but
