15 Signs You're Meant to Be Together

So I got this idea to do a Jack/Kate picspam to go along with this list.  :)

15 Signs You're Meant to Be Together



1. You tell them things you don't tell anyone else. We don't mean blurting something out when you're emotionally unstable, but the desire to tell them intimate details about your life means you trust them -- a major component of successful long-term love.

Jack, you're the only one who knows about me.

2. You let them see you in moments of weakness. It's easy to be happy with someone when you're feeling good about life. But what about when you're not doing so well? Do you want to see them when you've been denied a raise, or your cat died, or you had a plain old bad day? They should be a comfort during tough times, not a burden.

Jack, your knuckles.

3. You respect them. You don't want to change the essence of who they are. There may be stuff that irritates you in everyday life -- they insist on wearing their favorite holey T-shirt, they eat sugar cereal for dinner, they still watch Saturday morning cartoons -- but you like them, plain and simple.

I hope you find what you’re looking for.

4. You want them to meet your parents. You feel proud of them and you want to show them off -- as opposed to feeling like you have to make excuses for them.

5. You can imagine a future together. You don't have to practice writing your first name with their last name, but do you periodically let your mind wander to picture a life together? Is it amazing?

I’m so glad you changed your mind. I’m so glad that you’re here.

6. You're not afraid to disagree with them. You know that even if you fight, they'll listen to you and won't brush you off. They take you seriously, even when they think you're wrong.

And if you’re wrong, then everyone on the island dies, do you understand that?

I’m not wrong, Kate! This is it, this is why we’re here. This is our destiny.

5x15 “Follow the Leader”



7. You want to work out your major differences. If you do have crucial differences that will impact your future together -- different opinions about religion, money, or something else -- you want to work them out with them, and you believe you can come to a conclusion that will satisfy both of you.

I can fix this, Kate. I can fix it. Aaron is my family too.

5x04 “The Little Prince”



8. You laugh together. Laughter is one of life's simplest pleasures -- you should definitely be able to crack each other up.

2x04 “Everybody Hates Hugo”



9. You're incredibly, utterly, surprisingly attracted to her. Physical chemistry is an undeniably important ingredient in a healthy relationship. And if they're not a classic beauty or your usual "type"? Even more reason to think they're the one.

3x06 “I Do”



10. It's OK to be quiet around them. You don't feel like you have to fill the space between you with chatter or other interaction. Instead, you feel an easy comfort.

1x05 “White Rabbit”



11. You feel like yourself around them. You don't feel like you have to edit your thoughts; you're not self-conscious or anxious.

I’m sinking. Water goes out, takes the sand with it, and you sink. I used to do it with my mom when I was a kid.

1x10 “Raised by Another”



12. You need them the right amount. You long for them -- but not too much. Some neediness is good, but too much breeds discontent.

I’m not inviting you, I’m inviting Kate.

2x19 “S.O.S.”



13. You don't feel too jealous. You're comfortable with them going out with their friends -- even friends of the opposite sex. You let each other have your own lives and hobbies.

Sawyer won’t let him.

4x03 “The Economist”



14. You feel like they make you a better person. They make you feel smart, funny, attractive, creative -- like the best version of yourself. You feel like they bring out and complement the best parts of you.

Three days ago, we all died. We should all be able to start over.

1x03 “Tabula Rasa”



15. They just get you. Sometimes it's that easy. You feel like they understand some essential part of you that you can't explain or articulate. It's a warm, comfortable feeling -- and one you should have with the person you marry.

If that had been me, I think I would’ve run for the door.

No, I don’t think that’s true. You’re not running now.
