There are many ways where a couple can test if they are in a 'true love' relationship!

* Just by 'wanting' to be with each other every minute of the day can indicate this. Quite often though, the average couple only feel this way at the beginning of a relationship but after some time, however, this 'wanting' leads to acceptance, or, non-caring of each other's differences and opinions - sometimes to the extent of boredom and your partner may want their freedom again to explore new ground. At the very worst, your relationship could turn abusive!

* An eager urge to 'please' can also indicate 'true love'. But for fear of the situation becoming too BDSM in nature, care must be taken not to overdo the 'pleasing' urges unless your partner reciprocates at the same level

* Romantic encounters and interludes assist to develop 'true love' whilst maintaining a healthy, vibrant Soul, and, romance can be applied at all stages of a relationship

* A deep commitment toward understanding each other's feelings can suggest 'true love', and, an even deeper commitment to act on that understanding can test that 'true love'. But whilst this suggestion to 'true love' is very commendable and ideal, very few relationships venture into such depth of understanding of/for each other - because in reality, the power of suggestion between couples is the opposite - each wanting their needs and desires to be taken care of

* Caring, protecting, supporting, adapting and developing are signs suggesting 'true love' and lucky is this relationship because you chose your partners based on true values, and learnt to live within these attributes with each other - very difficult to attain and maintain - and for some, unattainable

* Being supportive and caring in a crisis or sickness is indicative of 'true love' and any one couple can develop and maintain these qualities because it is part of our nature to want to help someone - so much more if they were our loved ones

The above indicators are exactly that - indicators of how 'true love' can manifest in a relationship, and whilst the above are most positive attributes, one must always be aware of their negative counterparts - always ready to plague relationships as well. Accepting the bad and enhancing the good is the ideal relationship stance and will aid considerably toward the advancement of 'true love'.

Of course, there is always that 'lucky' couple who find 'true love' instantly, who never argue, who will travel to the end of the world for their partners, and who only have eyes for each other - do you personally know anyone with such a relationship? If so, learn from them and grow.
