Figuring out whether the man or woman you're withis the ever-elusive 'one' is no mean feat.
想要了解自己的另一半并非易事。
But, if a new checklist is to be believed, it's rathersimple to work out.
但如果有份檢查表作參考則會相對容易些。
According to a study, couples who talk about bodilyfunctions, have access to each other's passwordsand shower together are the most committed.
一項研究表明,最忠貞的伴侶具有以下幾個特征:告知對方自己的身體狀況、知曉對方的密碼,并且一起沐浴。
Planning a holiday, driving each others' cars and having a key to your partner's flat are othersigns that a relationship has got serious.
此外,假期計劃二人出游、開對方的車、有對方公寓的鑰匙也可以反映出雙方對待這段關系的認真態度。
Researchers quizzed couples on the different stages of their relationship to determine the topsigns that indicate a couple are past the 'seeing each other' phase and taking things into moreserious territory.
Posting a 'loved-up' photo on Facebook, changing your status to 'in a relationship' and beingintroduced to wider friendships circles also show couples are the 'real deal.'
Meeting potential in-laws, staying overnight and divulging salary details also prove thatcouples are the 'real deal.'
見對方父母、雙方一起過夜、互相告知收入狀況,這些也都能證明雙方對這段關系是真心的。
The study also highlighted that couples deem a relationship more serious when they get morecomfortable with each other - which means seeing each other without make up, showeringtogether, lounging around the house in pyjamas and even discussing intimate health issuesand bodily functions.
Other relationship milestones include meeting the parents, becoming the 'plus one' on allinvites, seeing each other through an illness and comfortably phoning each other at work.
Buying a dog or cat together, choosing their partner's favourite foods in the weekly food shopand sharing their friends secrets are also sure signs that you're with the one, according to theresearch by Monarch.
