This Is Your Definition Of True Love, Based On Your Birth Order

Only Child

To you, love means taking on the world together. It means being a support system. It means being a rock. You expect your partner to guide you through the tough times and support you through the best times — and you’re going to do the same. You want them to be your teammate in every sense of the word. When you have a problem, it’s their problem too. When you have a win, it’s their win too. When you say you’re committed to someone, you mean it. They’re your family now.

Oldest Child

To you, love means effort. It means working hard to keep the relationship healthy, no matter how much time passes. You never want your partner to grow complacent and start taking everything you do for granted. You want to continue the tradition of saying thank you and I love you decades into the relationship. You want to make sure that your partner feels appreciated and that you do too. You understand that relationships will have their ups and downs, but if you’re meant to be together, you’ll overcome the rough times and love each other better than you did at the start.  

Middle Child

To you, love means emotional and physical compatibility. It means you know how to make each other laugh, how to make each other moan, and how to make each other feel okay again. You need a partner who doesn’t take themselves too seriously all the time, who will joke around with you and entertain you. You aren’t looking for a roommate that you kiss. You’re looking for a best friend. Someone who you genuinely enjoy spending time with more than anyone else in the world. Someone who makes you happy in every way.

Youngest Child

To you, love means feeling comfortable. Feeling safe. Feeling at home. You need a partner who assures you that you’re more than enough, who never makes you feel like an inconvenience. You want someone you’re comfortable talking to about any topic. Someone you’re okay with crying in front of because you trust they would never judge you and are only there to help you. You can be your authentic self around them because they love you for you. They have seen every side of you — from the angry side to the hot mess side — and are still wild about you.  

Twin

To you, love means sharing the most vulnerable pieces of yourself. It means running to each other with good news when it’s time to celebrate — and running to each other with tears in your eyes when you’re seeking comfort. You don’t want any secrets to exist between you and your partner. If they’re going through a rough time, you don’t want them to hide it in order to protect your feelings or save you the trouble. You want them to feel comfortable opening up to you about everything. You want them to be transparent about their anger, their excitement, and everything in between. You want to know what they’re thinking and how they’re feeling, always.
