You two have to mutually decide on when the time is right. Just keep in mind, marriage is forever. If you are considering kids, make sure your mate can agree with you on this and other important issues. ask your family members for advice. If you parents have been married for a while ask them. A year and a half does not seem like a long time, but i know people that got married in less then a year and have been happily married for 10+ years. What is really important is the content of the relationship, not the term.

Since you already have a year and a half behind you, then do it when the time feels right. It's good you have dated awhile first. If it would have been a short time like a month, then I would say wait a year or so, but you have already been with the person awhile. Just bring up the "what if" marriage thing to the person and see how the reaction, to see if he is ready, or how he feels about it.

My husband and I only dated 4 months before we got married. 6 and 1/2 yrs later things are still going strong.
My mother told me when I was young that at about the 2yr mark is when you need to look up and decide where this relationship is going. If its not leading to the fulfillment of your goals move on.
In the end it comes down to what you and your BF want and what you and your BF feel comfortable with.

A year and a half is long enough...
You need to say something to him..
Some guys need a little push...
Give him one...
Don't find yourself asking this same question next year
when it will have been 2 1/2 yrs...And then 3 1/2...
I have heard women complaining about 5 & 7 & 10 yr. relationships
with still no marriage...It is crazy....The woman has to be crazy...

When the time is right you will both know it. I married my husband after dating for 8 months and we had been living together for 3 months. When its right, its right. Don't put a timer on it, there is no good in that. Follow your heart sweety.
Good Luck!

You should wait how ever long your heart tells you to wait. If your ready now than maybe you should start hinting around. Remember if you want a big wedding its going to take a long time to plan your wedding.

Why not just enjoy your time together and be patient until he proposes. Stop thinking about it and let it surprise you one day. Its obvious you two love one another so take it slow and let him propose when he feels time is right.

You should wait the correct amount of time. Of course, only you can determine what "correct" means.

i think you should wait a little longer... do you think he wants to get married? you know, you won't get married if he doesn't want so... if he fells the same, he will propose to you....
