You have been dating with her for years now. You already live together or you’re planning to move in together sometime soon. You have already met each other’s family and you share the same life goals.
Experts around the world claim that there isn’t a specific time when you should get married. The perfect time is when you are both ready to spend life together.
Here are the 4 signs that say you’re ready to pop the question:
1. You’ve figured out how to communicate, even during fights
Making love is really great after a silly fight over who threw the trash last. When your relationship reaches the next step-marriage, your fights will get a more serious tone. Even the happiest couples fight. Remember never to use low blows and nasty behaviors in a fight. Experts claim that the best couples can work out their problems with expressing themselves and also listening to the other person. Compromises help the relationship.
2. You agree on the basics
Experts claim that it’s important that you and your wife-to-be agree on the fundamental things. Before marrying you must consider where to live, finances, children and religion. It’s not a big deal if you haven’t discussed kids with your partner while dating, but it’s a big problem if one of you wants kids and the other one doesn’t. Also, it’s bad to think that the other person will change in the future. Therefore, discuss, discuss, discuss.
3. You’re happy on your own, but happier with her
Before pledging your love to your girl, you make sure you stand on your own two feet first. Marriage is about coming together of 2 whole persons and not two halves. You’re ready for marriage when both of you live happy and fulfilling lives that become better by the relationship. The most important thing is that none of you should be too dependent on the other, but you can always lean on each other.
4. You want to
The easiest way to tell that you’re ready to marry the woman you love is you want to. It’s that simple, and must trust your gut. This is the person that you’ll share your life with and she should be the girl you want to sleep next to every night. She’s not perfect and your life together isn’t perfect either, but if you want her and picture her by your side through everything … then put a ring on it!
