Questions you MUST ask if you want love that will last – Is it love, passion or just the right blend? During the heady, early days of a relationship, it is incredibly easy to mistake passion for lasting love. You might feel as if the whole world revolves around your partner, stare longingly into the distance when he is away, and feel butterflies in your stomach before each date.

Yet, while passion is an important element of love, it is not lasting love, in and of itself.
To decide whether your love could last, ask yourself the following 7 questions.
Your answers will help you understand your relationship in a new way.
1. Can we sacrifice for each other sometimes?
One of the biggest components of lasting love is the security that comes with knowing you are there for each other, day in and day out, no matter what life throws your way. While this deeper security can only develop through shared experiences over time, by the time you are ready to declare your love, you should be fairly confident in the answer to this question.
Brain scanning data suggests this is an important part of a lasting relationship.
Think through the minor crises that have arisen since you started dating. Does she bring you soup when you are sick, or stay up all night helping you nurse your injured cat back to health? Will he come to a party that is important to you, even though he’d rather be doing something else? Does he answer the phone whenever you call, or return your calls quickly every time? Do past and current behaviors indicate that your partner can put you first sometimes?
