"This Makes Me So Happy": 36 Stories About How People Knew They Had Found "The One" It’s really something silly, and it was only one of many things that lead to the realization. I had slept in and missed saying goodbye when he left for work. I called to tell him to have a good day and to tease him about not giving me a goodbye kiss. 10 minutes later he walked through the door, gave me a kiss, and then left for work again. He was always doing sweet and playful things like that, and in that moment I realize I didn’t want anyone else. Within weeks we were engaged, and 5 months later we were married. We celebrated 14yrs last month.

Would it shock you to know that around 40% of married couples were friends before they actually started dating? It does make sense, because a good emotional connection and a great camaraderie can help form a solid base for a relationship. A lot of the answers on this list say just that, which is great news because it may just help widen your dating pool!

We decided to reach out to one married couple, Vamsi and Brennen, to hear exactly how they knew their partner was the one. We also asked them for advice on how to maintain a relationship like this and keep it strong. You can find their answers below.

"This Makes Me So Happy": 36 Stories About How People Knew They Had Found "The One" We had hung out with another friend a couple of times. I made plans to visit the friend and friend recommended that I invite now wife to come along since she lived near me. After driving for 7 hours each way and having fun conversations the whole time, I was pretty sure we should be together. Still together 35 years and married for 30.

We first spoke to Vamsi Krishna, who goes by the artist name Evoke. She is a singer-songwriter and vocal coach who teaches Western vocal techniques and songwriting to students of all ages and walks of life. She has also released some original singles independently in English, Hindi, and Telugu. We asked Vamsi how she knew Brennen was the one.

Vamsi said: “We actually got to know each other at a deeper level when we both were part of a musical show in our college. I was singing, and he was dancing. That fun and excitement was a really conducive atmosphere for us to get closer as friends. We used to hang out post rehearsals and just lose track of time, it was like the whole world around us would melt away when we were together.”

“I had never felt this level of magic and comfort with anyone before. It was honestly not just one moment, it was many beautiful moments that just made our love flow naturally and easily. He always had a way of making me feel special and truly cared for. It's the same even to this day, after 16 years of being together and 9 years of marriage,” she added.

"This Makes Me So Happy": 36 Stories About How People Knew They Had Found "The One" He told me "loving you is easy". Idk why that really gave me a warm fuzzy feeling. Maybe cause no else said it to me.

"This Makes Me So Happy": 36 Stories About How People Knew They Had Found "The One" I posted this a while back, but it's a good story.
We had only been dating for three months, so still some awkwardness here and there. I was working an outrageous amount, and I got phone call that one of my very good friends had just died in a car accident.

I don't really remember walking there, but instead of my apartment, I ended up at hers. She opened the door to her new boyfriend half-ugly-sobbing.

Instead of being (rightly) weirded out, she listened and cried with me for a couple hours.

The friend who died was the one who had encouraged me (for like six months) to ask my now-wife out. My friend never knew the impact she had.

My wife and I have been married for 15 years now.

"This Makes Me So Happy": 36 Stories About How People Knew They Had Found "The One" This is gonna be a weird story, but ok.

We knew each other for a couple of months when we both got invited to a mutual friends' birthday party. She wasn't feeling great, but she came anyway, because there were some others there that we hadn't seen for quite a bit and she wanted to say hi. So, after a few hours she said she felt worse, and asked if someone could help her get home. So a friend and I said sure, we'll walk with you. We walked the way to her house, which was about 15 minutes, and when we got there she got dizzy and was on the verge of feinting. I saw her wobble, grabbed on to her and then she just sagged in my arms. Only for a few seconds, but she was out of it. She opened her eyes, looked at me, and BLAM! Fireworks, butterflies, everything all at once.

This was at her parents house, so her father walked into the hallway to look wat was going on and he saw me there holding his daughter and gave me a 'stern look', untill she explained what happened.

We went on a date a few weeks later, and that was the first day of 19 years so far.

I too met my SO at a party. We didn't know each other before though. I had just had to make a lot of hard decisions. My father passed, my mother was going back to Canada, and I was presented with the opportunity to stay in the US and buy a vet practice from someone who was retiring. By the end of the year I was fried, and didn't really want to celebrate Christmas, but a friend thought I could use some cheer & convinced me to go with her to her office Christmas party. I went, but was kind of overwhelmed & ended up hanging out on a couch people watching. While I was watching some people dance, I felt a pressure on my leg. When I looked down, a group of guys had sat on the floor in front of me, and one of the guys was leaning against my leg. The nerve! After a bit, I tapped the guy on the shoulder & grumpily said "If we're going to be sharing a leg, you should at least tell me your name" (1/2)

We also got to hear Brennen’s side of the story. Teaching since 2010, Brennen Thomas is an ICP-certified skating coach and national medalist who works with students across Mumbai to provide private and group coaching.

Brennen shared that he and Vamsi “started out as friends [and then] became best friends. Even though I was generally a quiet person, I [couldn't stop] talking to her. There was a genuine want to watch each other progress and grow. It felt very natural: the jokes, the compliments, and the feeling of being valued.”

“There were multiple coincidences–saying the same things at the same time. For me, our hearts and bodies fit just right, I never felt like she was a stranger. There was always a feeling of extreme familiarity and comfort. Many meant-to-be moments and alignment of events. Other than that, she's of course, beautiful, talented, and has a beautiful, strong positive vibe,” he shared.

"This Makes Me So Happy": 36 Stories About How People Knew They Had Found "The One" First night I met her - she was a friend of a friend and neither of us was looking for a partner at the time. Much later in the evening I saw her dancing on her own, and like really going for it as well. She just stood out so much, compared to all the other girls on the dance floor and I just thought "yep.....shes the one for me".

We've been together 18 years this year, 11 married and have a teenage daughter now.

We’d been together 3 months, we were 17 & 18 at the time. We’re now 42 & 43, and he’ll still make random bird noises at me sometimes. One of our teens joins in sometimes, the other is more likely to meow at us from across the room.

It encapsulated the fact that he didn’t care what other people thought, just that he wanted to make me smile. (Also we now know that it’s because we’ve both got ADHD and we bounce off each-other).

Even if you have the best relationship, it’s still essential to maintain it and keep the spark alive. We asked Vamsi and Brennen what advice they would give to newly married couples to sustain their connection.

Brennen said, “be patient with each other. There will be times when you both are not on the same page or aren't at the same level mentally and emotionally. Have compassion and try not to over react [about] things just out of habit. Be self-aware and try to resolve things with love and understanding, no matter how much it's triggering you in the moment.”

“Expressing emotions, feelings, and thoughts, letting the other person in, in a vulnerable way, really deepens the relationship and makes them feel like they're a team with you. Always keep developing yourself, too. The more you progress spiritually and have better emotional control, develop self love and confidence, the more you can feel love for your spouse and the happier you will be together,” he added.

"This Makes Me So Happy": 36 Stories About How People Knew They Had Found "The One" She never made me feel like I had to put on a show to be someone I’m not. I’m very introverted, but can muster enough confidence to be outgoing if I need to be. She just lets me be myself.

I know it’s normal for most healthy relationships, but we can just be goofballs together, but also take care of the serious business when the time calls for it. Prior to my now wife, most relationships seemed to be lacking that balance.

She talked about being a mom and how it was going to happen. Worst case she would just adopt and do it alone. She would hate it as she wanted to start a family with someone but she wanted to be a mom more than having to wait for the right guy.

This was from an executive in the advertising industry who was five years younger than me, and yet she had climbed higher on the corporate ladder. She’s an absolute rockstar in the corporate world, she’s stunning, literally a head turner in any bar (and stubborn in not admitting that she does actual turn heads) and the most family oriented person you can imagine.

We’ve been together 12 years now, married 10, two boys and we have dinner every night as a family. I still can’t believe she’s mine.

It seems like the best way to have a good marriage is to keep working on yourself and treat your partner like a teammate rather than a rival. Vamsi shared her advice for newly married couples. She said, “honestly, the biggest thing I've learned in this marriage is: humility goes a long way. Ego has no place in a loving marriage.”

“Arguing and fighting with your spouse, just to feel like you're right, doesn't get you anywhere good. Knowing when to apologize and [the] willingness to change something causing the relationship trouble is so important from both ends. Basically, both of us need to have a strong desire for peace and a happy, strong marriage.”

She also added that “honesty and vulnerability are great in a marriage. Also creating a safe space for each other to be honest and vulnerable without making them feel guilty or judged. Other than that, remember to just have fun by yourself and [with] each other!”

This one sounds familiar. I met my wife on a Friday evening, and spent quite a bit of time together for the next few days. The following Thursday she showed up when I wasn't expecting her. I was sitting down when I first saw her, and that's when I realized that the phrase "weak in the knees" wasn't just a euphemism, because I felt too weak to stand. I proposed that evening, she accepted, and we got married three months later. That was 36 years ago.

I spoke to her on the phone.

Fifteen minutes. Seven green flags. One OMG. I knew. It was unmistakable, and I had no doubts.

I fought to marry her: Family. The state. People who didn’t want us to marry because they thought marriage was a bad idea for everyone.

We married anyway.

Even with all these stories about knowing the relationship was meant to be, it might still be tough to know what makes someone perfect for you. We decided to pose the question to Vamsi and Brennen so that they could give folks pointers on how to spot “the one” in their lives.

Vamsi explained that “it should never feel hard, at least in the beginning. Talking should feel easy, [with] no unnecessary games, [and] no complications. Most importantly, even mundane things should feel beautiful with this person.”

She added that “it's easy to enjoy a well-planned fun date with anyone, but who can you see [yourself] grocery shopping with, doing laundry, or sitting in traffic with and still having a great time?”

Brennen added that you should “just ask yourself: Even at our worst, would I still be happier being with this person, working things out, or would I genuinely be happier being by myself?”

"This Makes Me So Happy": 36 Stories About How People Knew They Had Found "The One" My last relationship was really traumatizing and I was not interested in dating anyone at all. But he pursued me very gently and persistently for months, and I just thought why not give someone who actually treats you well a chance? The night of our first date we made out and we’ve been together ever since, that was 12 years ago. But I knew he was husband material when he escorted me home after that first date. I was very tired and he didn’t want me to fall asleep on the subway. He knew I lived with my mom and that he wouldn’t be coming in before he even offered. And it was a very long trip for him to go home after since it was late and service is reduced overnight. He just displayed a level of concern and protection that I was unaccustomed to and it really opened my eyes. Best decision I ever made was to go out with him. He’s my best friend, he makes me laugh all the time, and I still find him wildly attractive.

It was a s****y situation to be in. I was ugly crying and my biggest concern was that he would decide that it’s just too much drama and c**p and leave me. I had pulled over on the side of the road, bawling my eyes out and he got out of the other car, gave me a hug and said “I always knew you had a rocky relationship with your old man”.

When we do have our downs, we like to discuss the problem together and figure out a way so this issue doesn’t happen again and it makes us stronger as a couple. Our relationship from the beginning felt like a strong flowing river, it felt so natural with few bumpy rocks here and there. Your gut feeling will know ;)

I broke up with her after a year,

And within a day I realized that was the biggest mistake I ever did.

(We are together since we are 18yo and we are now 36yo).

"This Makes Me So Happy": 36 Stories About How People Knew They Had Found "The One" I'd never met anyone like him. We just clicked immediately: same values and sense of humor. He completely accepted me as I am and became my best friend in a week. Together 9 years. .

"This Makes Me So Happy": 36 Stories About How People Knew They Had Found "The One" I figured she had all my money, and that a future divorce would mean I could get half back...
*(have been annoying her with this one for 19 years (and hope to do so for many, many more)).

So you reluctantly stay married to keep "all" your money? You really know how to make a woman feel valued. Even if it is JuSt A jOkE. Wow.

For me, it was when he met my parents. Up to that point, anyone I introduced to them treated them like "my parents" - which is to say they were polite and respectful, but not really engaged. He was different - he struck up conversations with them, asked questions, joked around with them. After we were married, he would be a rock for my mother during her cancer treatments, and after she passed he would spend 1x1 time with my daddy watching sports and sharing drinks. He made the effort from the get-go to be part of my family.

I don't know how you'll all take this. My wife and I are the very definition of "opposites attract". Back when we were dating, we used to make note of that, and always poke fun at each other by stating "maybe we shouldn't be dating." We still do that now, only the question is "tell me again why we got married?" We've been married 28 years, together for 33, still being silly about all this.

I'm upvoting all of these simply because it's so nice to read things on the 'net that aren't toxic.

For me, it was when disaster struck! I was seeing this guy, more as a friend than a date, we were at my place watching a movie when the water main on the hill above my apartment building broke, and the whole ground floor of my building was flooded up to our waists. He stayed with me that whole night as I tried to rescue my pets and salvage what belongings I could from the water as we had to evacuate the building. I lost everything i owned. He made no complaints, he just stuck with me and kept my spirits up through the whole ordeal. I knew then that he was worth making an effort for and we started dating. That was ten years ago now, and we're still together! No more disasters!

He had spent the night, and actually got up early to feed my cat-- a loud, disagreeable old monster who didn't like anyone but me. I could hear him singing to the cat from the other room. How can you not fall in love with that?

For the longest time I thought there was something wrong with me because I would date someone for a while and then become annoyed with them. Not that I would hate them or anything but I would just get so exhausted of them being around all the time and pawing at me etc. so I would be like obviously this isn't working and this person isn't for me. I knew my husband was the one when I never got tired of him being around. I know that may not sound like the cutest most passionate story but we've been together 23 years and I still can't wait for him to get home from work. He's been with me through illness, loss of friends and family, through our lowest lows and highest highs. He's the one person that I actively DO want around and I can't wait for the weekends so we can spend all day together. So basically if you aren't a people person don't worry because we fall in love too!

I met mine one September afternoon, on a Yahoo message board. Coincidentally, that September morning, my ex was served divorce papers (one door closing and another on opening). Chatted a while, talked on the phone and just hit it off - similar views on so many things, sense of humor, a phone voice that just melted me.... We were 600 miles apart, I took a long weekend to drive down, and that sealed it. Moved in together in January, married in December. This December will be our 23rd anniversary. And we still get along so well!

We effortlessly talked on a bus ride for 6 hours straight and have been inseparable ever since for 11 years now. Her weird just matches my weird. I'm a real lucky guy.

Pops said he knew Mom was the one when she was willing to crawl under the car he was working on after a dropped washer. 50+ years and four kids....

For me, it was in college. For some weird reason she borrowed my Army jacket with my name on it for holiday break. We were not even close to dating or anything. As soon as I saw her walking into the house with my jacket on, it clicked. 34 years now.

I woke up one morning thinking "I love him and will love him for the rest of my life". That was 24 years ago.

These are mostly super cute, but I also hope young people don't see this and take it to heart... This is basically a romcom list that sometimes happens in real life, but should NOT be treated as gospel.

I had been dealing with severe family induced depression, and he was new to town and had been invited to the beach. He was 15 and I was 20, but I instantly had a crush on him in his ridiculous rippeded jeans and forced jovial attitude. When I discovered I could talk to him and he wouldn't dismiss me like my family, and listened, I fell head over heels. Plus we both liked DragonBall Z, and gaming, and although we don't have the same opinions on a lot of stuff, we respect the other person and never argue without willingness to be wrong.

I love reading that people 'just click'. I'm told I'm old and that that is the reason why I feel the whole dating thing sounds very tiring, exasperating and filled with all kinds of pitfalls. I didn't even know that there is something like a 'situationship'! When I expressed my ignorance, some pitying glances came my way...

We "clicked". Never really even dated. Best decision I ever made, and we're now planning our retirement years.
