5. You enter legally binding contracts together.
Granted, it’s fairly obvious that you are committed to each other when you enter a marriage contract with one another. But it’s also just the same when you enter other contracts together. For instance, you might sign legal documents when you are looking to buy a car or property as a couple.
6. You go on trips and vacations as a couple.
There is a certain level of intimacy and closeness that is reached when a couple is comfortable enough to frequently travel with one another. You know that you’re in a committed relationship when the both of you actually plan out your trips and vacation days with each other in mind.
7. You freely discuss bodily functions that others might find gross.
You are so comfortable with one another to the point that you just freely discuss typically gross bodily functions and processes with one another. You might say that you’re way past the “fart” test in your relationship and you’re seriously committed to each other.
8. You really plan out your future as a couple.
One other huge sign of real commitment in a relationship is the willingness and eagerness to really plan out the future of the couple. You know that you have a partner who is serious about staying in a long-term relationship with you when they are always forward-looking with you.
