On Getting Married: How did you decide he or she was "the one"?

[AKA_Monet]

Seriously... When you are in the hospital at emergency, and the only person who attempts to be concerned (aside from your family) is your S/O... At least that is how I knew--my husband was the man there for me when I needed him the most.

I can only tell you the wrong reasons, because neither of the men that I thought were "the one" ended up being the one:
1) Because you'd been together through the last 3 years of college, have graduated, gotten jobs, he asked and that's the next step in life.
2) Because he fits a list of requirements that you developed after your first divorce to try to make a better choice next time, and you have a fun dating relationship and he is your best friend, even though there is really no passion.

I agree.

However, this depends. My friends and family members would be there in a heartbeat if I called them. I simply choose to call him (first).
