9 signs your partner genuinely loves having you in their life

There’s a stark difference between someone simply liking you and someone truly cherishing your presence in their life.

The distinction boils down to actions and words. Claiming love is easy, but showing it consistently over time? That’s a different story altogether.

Because when someone genuinely loves having you in their life, they don’t simply speak—they act in ways that make it clear.

And for those of us who value authentic relationships, recognizing these signs can be incredibly comforting.

So here are some of the signs to look for in your partner that scream, “I genuinely love having you in my life”.

Let’s get started.

1) They make time for you

In a world where everyone is constantly busy, time is a precious commodity.

Your partner may have a full schedule with work, friends, hobbies, and other commitments. But if they genuinely love having you in their life, they’ll make sure to carve out time specifically for you.

This doesn’t always mean grand gestures or lengthy periods of time. Sometimes, it’s the little things, like ensuring they call you every day or choosing to spend their free evening with you over a night out with friends.

After all, we make time for the people and things we care about most.

2) They remember the little things

There’s something so special about someone remembering the little details about you. It signifies that they’re paying attention and, more importantly, that they care.

I recall a similar experience with my own partner.

I had mentioned in passing my love for a particular book. It wasn’t a grand declaration, merely a side comment during one of our many conversations.

Weeks later, on my birthday, I unwrapped a gift from him to find a first-edition copy of that very book.

I was touched, not just by the gift, but by the fact that he had remembered something so small and inconsequential. It was a clear sign to me that he genuinely loved having me in his life.

If your partner remembers those tiny details about you, it’s a pretty good indication that they deeply value your presence in their life.

But… What if you’re struggling to express your love in return? Or perhaps you’re unsure of how to create a deeper connection with your partner?

3) They support your dreams

There’s a psychological concept called the “Michelangelo Phenomenon”.

It suggests that we can shape each other in relationships, much like Michelangelo claimed he brought statues to life by chipping away at the marble until he ‘released’ them. In a loving relationship, partners help each other become closer to their ‘ideal selves’.

In other words, when someone truly loves having you in their life, they won’t just appreciate you for who you are now but also for who you want to become.

This means being supportive of your dreams and goals, even if they don’t completely understand them.

They’ll cheer you on, provide constructive feedback, and maybe even help you brainstorm ways to reach your objectives.

4) They’re there for you in tough times

Life isn’t always sunshine and rainbows.

There are times when we face challenges, hardships, and even heartbreak. And it’s during these tough times that we see the true colors of those around us.

If your partner genuinely loves having you in their life, they will stand by you during these difficult moments. They won’t walk away at the first sign of trouble. Instead, they’ll offer a shoulder to lean on, a listening ear, and a comforting presence.

They understand that love isn’t just about being there for the good times, but for your bad times, too. Their support in these instances is a clear sign of their commitment and affection for you.

5) They show you off

When someone is proud of their relationship with you, they won’t hesitate to show you off to the people who matter in their life.

This could be as simple as introducing you to their friends and family or mentioning you in conversations with colleagues. It could also mean including you at important events and occasions and not shying away from public displays of affection.

Still, this isn’t about flaunting or showing off for the sake of appearances. It’s about acknowledging your importance in their lives and wanting to share that joy with others.

6) They make sacrifices for you

Love is often about putting someone else’s needs before your own. When your partner genuinely loves having you in their life, this selflessness shines through.

They might sacrifice their comfort, their time, or even their personal desires to make you happy. This could be as grand as moving cities for your job opportunity or as simple as watching your favorite movie instead of theirs.

These sacrifices, big or small, are not about losing themselves in the relationship. Instead, they are a testament to the fact that your happiness matters to them.

Instead, they are a testament to the fact that your happiness matters to them.

But first, a word of warning: it’s important to remember that healthy love is a two-way street.

It’s beautiful when someone is willing to make sacrifices for you, but it’s equally important to ensure you’re not sacrificing your own happiness and well-being in the process.

If you have a tendency to put others’ needs before your own, constantly prioritizing their happiness over yours, it might be a sign that you need to focus on self-love and prioritize your own needs.

Remember – you can’t pour from an empty cup.

It’s about recognizing that you deserve happiness too, and that taking care of yourself is not selfish but essential.

7) They communicate openly with you

There was a time in my life when I struggled with expressing my emotions. I bottled things up, fearing that sharing my feelings would be seen as a sign of weakness.

But my partner changed that for me. They created a safe space where I felt comfortable sharing my thoughts, fears, and dreams.

Their openness encouraged me to do the same, strengthening our bond and deepening our connection. It showed me that they not only loved having me in their life but also valued my thoughts and feelings.

So, if your partner makes an effort to communicate openly with you, it’s a clear sign of their love and respect for you.

8) They respect your boundaries

When someone loves having you in their life, they respect your boundaries.

They understand that while you’re a part of each other’s lives, you’re still individuals with your own needs and limits. They won’t try to control you or push you to do things that make you uncomfortable.

Instead, they’ll respect your personal space, your time, and your decisions. They’ll also make an effort to understand and accommodate your boundaries.

9) They love you for you

At the end of the day, the most significant sign that your partner genuinely loves having you in their life is that they love you for who you are.

They celebrate your strengths, accept your flaws, and value your uniqueness. They don’t try to change you or mold you into someone else. Instead, they appreciate and cherish you just as you are.

This kind of acceptance and unconditional love is the purest form of affection. If your partner loves you just the way you are, it’s the most profound affirmation of their genuine love for you.

Final thoughts

The beauty of love lies in its ability to make the ordinary seem extraordinary.

It’s not always about grand gestures or overt declarations. More often, it’s about the little things—the shared smiles, the comforting silence, the tender touch, and the reassuring presence.

So, as you reflect on these signs, remember that love is less about what we say and more about what we do. It’s the actions that truly speak volumes about someone’s feelings for you. But it’s also important to remember that your ability to receive and reciprocate love is deeply influenced by your relationship with yourself.

If you struggle to accept your partner’s love or find yourself constantly questioning their feelings, it might be time to embark on a journey of self-love. Our Self-Love Journey program, led by world-renowned shaman Rudá Iandê, offers a transformative path towards deeper self-understanding and acceptance.

By cultivating self-love and compassion, you can learn to recognize your own worth and begin opening yourself up to receive more of the love and connection that you deserve.

Don’t leave your partner hanging: Remember, building the best relationship possible starts with loving yourself!
