To know that you are ready for marriage is basically listening to your heart. If you feel you love that person with all your heart, and you feel you can't live without that person, that you really want to share your time with him/her, then... that's your time.Well, you know, i see many people who are afraid of commitment; the kind of commitment marriage involves. It is funny because when you are with somebody you have to be faithful and love that person... isn't it basically the same you do in marriage? It is. What changes is mainly formalities. For couples who already live together probably it would be easier since they are already closer to that point. For couples who don't live together, yes, it is quite difficult to get used to LIVE with that person regardless how much you love him /her.
I believe that you just need to listen to what you are feeling. And say "Yes, I love this person with his/her best and worst qualities and i definitely want to share the rest of my life with this person... 'cause i can't picture myself with anybody else. I know the "married" transition takes its time and it isn't always easy, but if it is to be with him/her then I'll take the risk and the responsibilities that come along."

You can undesrsnad it.It depends always on the persons.Others want to get married just to escape from the family, others to resolve problems.If your standrds are high, you ll see the marriage as the union of 2 people who want to share their life and their activities together, in a comon house, and to continue their life not by following a status tht the marriage impose, but by living their life in the respect and the freedom of privacy(in the limits) ...Means that everyonwe has the right in the privacyl, and marriage doeant mean that we het colosed to a house with children and we end up our life there.
Imoirtant is the level, cultural, and social.Otherwise problems can appear.Thats why the marriage has to arrive after thought, and in the right age...

I knew I was ready to be married when I couldn't imagine not having my (now husband) in my life... and it was long before he asked me to marry him. Love is so important to a marriage, and so is responsibility, trust, maturity and understanding. If you have all of those, then you are probably ready to consider marriage.

Well, there is really no one answer for this. I am a true believer in serendipity, fate and ect.... I tend to go with the answer that you just know. You just know that you're ready. You look at this person you're with and you can't imagine a day without seeing them, hearing their voice or kissing them. And you can't imagine yourself being with anyone else.
Good Luck!!!

Something in you changes. I was engaged to a guy who was all wrong, I didn't want to set a date, plan anything, pick a location, none of it. Now I'm engaged to the right guy and I can't stop thinking about where I want to do it and when I want to get married.
Trust your gut!

When your tired of living a singles life!
When she feels the same!
Good Luck!

If you have to ask, then you are not ready.
