okay so my boyfriend of 5 years wants to marry me, we talk about it all the time. we almost rushed into it once and almost got married, i decided we should wait. I figure there is no rush. if we are meant to be, it'll happen, rite? no matter how long it takes. is it worth it to wait, or should we just go for it? i know what i wanna do, i just wanna know what you guys think...

well if you have a good guy on your side he will fully understand what you are thinking. Don't rush into somthing that could last a century.
Wait until the time is right then go for it. You are only alive for a certain time make it the best time. Be who you are and not what someone else want's you to be. 5 years is a long time to be together but get married when your not ready and it could last a long long time and it may not be the best. So take what I said and be indepedent and do what you think is right.

If you're mind is already made up then there is no point to this question. The "right" time for marriage is different for everyone and it's when you're ready and you have no doubt in your mind that you have found that one for you. If you're positive then there is no reason to wait. What are you waiting for? If he's the one for you then why should it take eventually? Why not now? Eventually may never come. Once you've found that one who takes all your fears and doubts away, then you should be willing to spend the rest of your life with that person, There is no reason to wait. I hope you make the right decision sweetie, if you have any doubts...don't do it, it's a mistake. Good luck babe!

If you want to wait then wait and he will still be around and ready when you are if he is the right guy for you... However you have been together for a long time and i am wondering if he is the right guy for you since you still do not know if you want to marry him or not after 5 years....

I think that you need to reassess your view on marriage. Self examination is not a bad thing as some of these idiot new psychologist are saying. If you feel it is right then do it. If you feel it is not, don't. You need to understand one thing or to add it to the equation, if you decide to wait, .......will he? At some point a guy who longs for a closer relationship will bolt! If you won't comply someone else will. And believe me there are millions of women who will jump at the opportunity!

Did you have the opportunity to to college? Any education beyond high school? What ever degree your earn is yours to keep forever. It opens doors for you when finding jobs. Jobs mean financial and medical benefits for and your prospective family. If you got married today, had a child in the future and your husband became disabled in a work related or highway accident how would you survive comfortably. Please weigh things carefully, it's important today.

I wouldn't do anything that you aren't ready for or don't want to do. But, if you know and i mean KNOW that this is the guy you are going to marry then go for it. I married my husband after only 8 months of dating and its because i just knew! I knew that this is the man that i needed and wanted to be with for the rest of my life. Good luck!!

When the time is right it will happen but you should have a home good paying jobs and have money saved for a rainy day before you get married.

If you are 12 and he is 15, it is not time.
But if you are over 23, and if he is over 27, you both completed you education and you both have a job, it is a good time to get married.

If you want to marry the guy you should know after five years. If you do go for it and if not forget about it. This is if you are both really and willing.
