Older IB Guys, How did you know that you were truly in love?

I'm a senior in college rn. I'm in a frat and have been dating this sorority girl since freshman year. I really like spending time with her. This will sound pretty pussy, but I love listing to girly music like Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga with her. I look forward to spending every weekend with her, and I feel all giddy and happy inside when I think about being with her forever and starting a family. 

I recently spoke to a VP at by bank who just divorced, and it really freaked me out, For those of you senior guys, how did you know you're truly in love with your wife/gf? I feel so close to my gf, but my VP really spooked me, and I don't want to fuck up.
