Are you in love? Do you and your sweetheart finish each other’s sentences?

If you do, then you may be  out of luck because it appears there’s a new indicator for long-term love. According to University of Texas psychologist James Pennabaker, how couples use pronouns can indicate the longevity of their relationship.

The different way these words are used can give insight into the power dynamics in relationships, romantic and otherwise.

“The words reflect who we are more than drive who we are,” he says “We can predict by analyzing their language, who will go on a date — who will match — at rates better than the people themselves.”
