First, you need to evaluate your choice of a spouse.
1. Does he share your beliefs/religion/morals?
2. Are you both completely committed to the relationship regardless of whatever may come your way?
3. Do you have good communication? Are you able to talk with each other about everything/anything?
4. Do you share common goals/plans for your life? Have you discussed career? kids? lifestyle?
5. Do you have common interests/hobbies?
Now, look at your own life...
- Am I responsible enough to handle the responsibilities of being married?
- Are we ready for the possibility of a family?
- Are we financially responsible and able to stand on our own feet?
- What are my career/life goals and how do they fit into this picture?
- Where will we live & how will we pay the bills?
- How will I be able to handle my single friends once I'm married? How will I handle my married friends?
- Am I able to say for sure that I know myself and I know my future spouse well?
- Do I trust him? Do I trust myself?
Whatever happens, good luck -- I wish you well!

I hate to say it... But sometimes you "just know". Or, another way to look at it, you never *really* know. I think, if you have to ask this question, this in itself means you're not ready. Experience and self-awareness/self-introspection are your best guides in making such a personal decision. With experience, you get better at interpreting your own reactions to what goes on in your life, so you're in a better position to predict your future reactions to decisions you're making now. Live and learn.

You won't ever really know if you are really ready. Just follow your heart. Go into it and give all the love you have to give. Take your time to learn, love and live a life with the one you have decided to spend the rest of your life with. Just relax you have one life to live. Make the best of it.

It is more of a feeling than anything. But it usually comes after knowing someone for a while. Just don't rush is the best advice I can give.

You'll know. Don't ask us, it's how you feel. If you love him, which means you appreciate him, admire him and respect him, then you are on your way. Don't rush into it.
