It's very simple - you meet the right person and you just know.

Very easy in fact:
- You love that person for real, that is, you would sacrifice and do anything for him/her without asking or expecting anything in return, and you know to best of your knowledge that he/she feels the same.
- You understand you will be now making a new family with your husband/wife and your decisions/actions will affect not only you, but the whole family (that is you, your husband/wife and your kids).
- You have a good steady job that pays good or you have enough money in the bank to be able to live out of interest/investments. This can be together you and your future husband/wife. This means you two can maintain the family without struggling.
If you can yes to each of those, then you have at least the basics for what is needed to marry. Otherwise, you will risk the relation, unless you are lucky enough to be able to “dominate” each of those while being married. Is very difficult, but not impossible.
And as always, when you share your life with a love one, it means you two must be understanding and always be there for each other no matter what, and later on for your kids as well.
Are you ready?

When your love has developed from an immature love - which is more possesive, self-centered, and full of infatuation to a mature love - which is more about serving the other person, building something together, and working through difficulties together.
I first started to think my husband was the kind of guy I could marry after we had a first argument, and I noticed, we managed to validate each other's feelings, and work through it in a respectful way. I realized marriages aren't perfect, couples argue - and instead of trying to find someone I never fight with (which just means we're not really talking) I better find someone I know how to fight with respectfully.
So far my marriage has not been perfect, we essentially have become a family - but it it so wondeful, and the most meaningful, deep relationship of my life.

I would guess you would know when you know. Like say if you feel like you can make a commitment and get married then you are ready for whatever life brings you.

It's hard to say but, based on personal experience you should know the person for at least five years and they should be at least twenty six years old. Thats when most changes have occured and a person really starts showing their true colors. Otherwise, if you feel good about it, do it!

It's all about how you feel. I know you have probably heard this before and are sick of hearing it, but you will know when it's right. You have the feeling of you couldn't be without the person in your life.

It's a personal feeling that when you look in your loved one's eyes you know that they are the one for you. You can't imagine ever being apart from that person.
