Eight Tests of True Love taken from Bruce and Carol Britten, "Questions Young People Ask"
1. The talk-freely test. Can we talk with each other freely?
2. The habit test. Do I want to spend my whole life with this person, even if his/her habits never change?
3. The no-touching test. Do we really appreciate each others' personality, or do we just enjoy touching each others' body?
4. The admiration test. Do we have reasons for admiring each other…or do we just have a lovely feeling?
5. The knowing-each-other test. Do we know each other…past and present.
6. The love-for-Christ test. Are we helping each other to love Christ more? Are both of us interested in obeying and serving Christ…or is just one of us really interested?
7. The giving test. Do I want to give love and happiness to him/her? Is he/she a happy person who wants to give love and happiness to me?
8. The forgive-after-quarrel test. After a quarrel, can both of us say "sorry"? Can we forgive? Are we unselfish enough to listen each others' idea? Can we reach an agreement?
