You have to be financially, physically, and emotionally stable. And if you really can feel that you are willing to give up everything on what you have right now just to start a family and be with the person you love then that’s it.

think long and hard about how you feel for this person. If you can see yourself with this person 25 years from now and know that you will be happy then you are ready. If you have any doubt, i mean any at all, nine times out of ten you are going to dwell on those doubts when you tie the knot. it may be within the first year or the tenth but eventually it will catch up with you. Marriage is so final, it is it. if you are asking other people if you are ready then maybe you are not. Obviously you already have some doubt about going through with it. Make sure this is really what you want. Marriage is very overated these days. You can live with a person for the rest of your life as if you were married and if you decide to split it keeps legal issues out of it. I think when you get married it should be between you, your partner, family and most importantly god. Legal issues aside. hope this helps.

Your instincts are usually a great barometer to trust. If you have any doubts then you are not prepared to take the big plunge. But if you feel content and serene in your decision then you will have happiness and a joy about you that all will see. In my opinion a lot of people do marry nowadays with doubts and believe that they can either change the other person or themselves once married and this is a big mistake.

you ask people on yahoo answers LOL
seriously the best thing to do would be to get some premarital counseling. Churches offer it for free, but you could go to a therapist as well. They will help you and your significant other really talk through things to be sure you've both thought it through and realize some of the issues that will come up in marriage.

Honestly, I don’t think you can unless you ask God. I didn’t with my first marriage and it was disastrous even though I thought I knew what I was doing. It lasted 4 years which was 3 years too long. I prayed for my second husband and it’s still good after 14 years. Is it perfect? No. Perfect doesn’t exist outside of Heaven. But it’s pretty darn good.

You just know!! Everyone always asks, and over dramatizes the whole marriage thing. Simple fact, if the person is the one for you, you can't hardly get it done fast enough. If your really not sure, maybe go talk to a counselor, pastor, bishop, etc. to get their take on your feelings. Good luck!

you know that you are in love,
you have gotten to know the other person well (no secrets),
you are financially independent of parents taking care of you, etc,
you have had at least several serious talks about the future & and are somewhat in agreement about what you want together,
neither party has a reason that they are being "forced" into it.
Please note that having thousands of $$$ to throw a big wedding in NOT on that list.

Only you and your other know that. You could get some professional counseling, and be sure you can afford to be married.
