How do i know i'm ready to get married to my boyfriend?

Answer 1

1) You're out of the honeymoon period--you know that he has flaws, and you're okay with that. You've experience stress in the relationship, but you're realized that fighting isn't always a bad thing.

2) You're older than 22. Any younger and you really haven't grown enough. If you're 18 and think you're ready for marriage, you're in for a shock. Between 16 and 22 you go through so many changes. You are constantly changing who you are--why would you want to settle down with someone when you don't even know who YOU are?!

3) You're done with college. Both of you. Don't get stuck with college while married. Get through college and get on into the real world. You can't stay in college forever.

4) You have known him for awhile, not only as a boyfriend but as a friend. You have dated other guys throughout high school and college. You can survive as an independent and know that he isn't the reason that you're happy, you are happy with him but not because of him. You're not co-dependent.

5) You communicate well. If you're ticked off, you tell him. If you have a problem, you talk wtih him. You talk and you listen.

6) You trust him. Meaning you don't double think his intentions because you trust him. Without trust, your relationship is nothing.

Marriage is tough. While it may be great, planning a wedding is the easiest part of marriage.

Answer 2

Seriously, if you have to ask- then you definately are NOT ready to marry him. My suggestion is to wait until you feel ready to actually get married- or at least take that step forward to become engaged. I hope he isnt pressuring you to take that step- because if he is, and you are't ready for that step, then he may not be a keeper. There are a lot of things people need to do before they get married- and a lot of things you need to make sure you have and agree on as far as your relationship goes and how you will be handling certain things.

Answer 3

It all depends on how you both get along. How long have you been together? How old r u both? Do you live together? It's best to know how you'd get along living together first. Is marriage really that important to you? I have been with my man for 10 yrs and I figure if it's working why put stress on the relationship by getting married.

Answer 4

you should have known it the first month. Its a huge deal and if you can live with him for more than a year with out any huge fits and if he lets u hang with ur friends but knows when its important when it should just be the two of u. SPACE will save a marriage.

Answer 5

Ask yourself " am i satisfied with this person to spend the rest of my life with him?" If your answer is yes, go on to the next step.

Make a check list "qualities of my husband to be", does he have all or most of these"

If your answer is yes, why not start planning a family with him.

Remember, the decision you make now will affect your future.

Answer 6

My best friend once was asked how she knew that her husband was the right one. She said she just did. It had always been a question of when not if. When she said that I was like okay sure, then I met my fiancee and it is true, sometimes you just know and it really is a question of when not if.

Answer 7

If you're asking this, you're probably not ready to get married.

Answer 8

Agree with others, if u have to ask, u ain't ready.

Answer 9

After you've been with him for a long time (atleast a year).

When you're atleast in your 20s.

When you and him have a job and are independent.

After college.

Answer 10

you'll know. you may be nervous, but you will know that he is the one u want to spend ur life with and u cannot wait one more minute before starting that life with him.
