Here is what I would suggest, having been through a failed marriage myself. First off, don't rush it. Date for at least three years - if you don't want to wait that long, you might be getting married for the wrong reason - i.e. your getting married to be able to say "i'm married" instead of because you want to be with the other person FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.
You should get married if you could put up with a terrible wedding. (registry office for the big wedding dreamers and visa versa). Marriage is just that - an ongoing activity, not a one day event!
There's no way to know until you've already done it.
So, maybe the way to know is if you can feel good about signing up with your partner for a hopefully long and unpredictable life.
Marriage is not simple you have to make sure that you love the person that you want to become a wife or a husband. Its not just a hot rice that you can easily spit it out when its too hot. Its a life time.
To me, this ranks up there with "How will I know if I'm ready to have kids?". My stock answer is that if you wait till you're ready to get married (have kids, etc.) then you'll never get married! That being said, if you have a stable roof over your head, a reliable income, and the willingness to work with someone else on a VERY long-term basis, then you have the basics for marriage. It's mostly about attitude and values.
If you can live without that person, you aren't truly in love, but if you truly need them there with you all the time every day, or at least with a phone call's distance, you are close to bending the knee or having a knee bent for you. Btw, eloping is a stupid, albeit slightly romantic, idea as marriage is a holy ceremony, and should be treated as such, and not by some reject Elvis with a beer keg for a belly. Despite the popular opinion, a traditional marriage is still the best way to go about getting married as it is still hard to beat, and this is coming from a guy who was his brother's best man at his wedding this past december. Before the bended knee, however, you need a place to stay, as well as a decent income coming from at least one of you, if not both, and have plans for the honeymoon and maybe even for a baby as some couples have kids sooner than others, assuming that you don't yet have a child. And no, if you are wondering, I don't think that that last sentence was a run-on, or at least I hope that it wasn't!
Generally, you know because you want to get married or you really love someone. There are some who know from an early age that they don't want to get married. In other parts of the world, you might know because your parents tell you that you are marrying and even tell you who you are marrying.
When the regular hang out, partying, clubbing and all seems boring and he prefers to stay home most home. Basically when starts being a party pooper, has reduced interest in sports, knows in and out about women wear, reads more of the financial section than page 3 or sports section, talks real deep and rather more philosophical. Basically when a party star turns out to be boring slowly it means he is ready to marry.
yes! when you are ready to get married you know that you are with someone who really loves you for who you are and that you love him/her the same way. you really have a strong feeling of commmitment!
but other times marriage just happens! whether you are ready for it or not, you do have feelings stirring when the person you think you love pops the question!
Here are some signs that you might NOT be ready for marriage
they have a chat and when they are fully commited they get married and have and do what they want with no regrets
When the two of you love each other enough, and can financially care for each other and a possible child, then you are ready to be engaged.
People get married because they are in love, want to spend their life together, and want to be in a committed relationship.
Getting married is a personal preference that some people choose. Some people do not decide to get married until they are older. There are people who do not think that they will get married but end up married when they meet the right person.
yes they do Answer: Most people are supportive and believe in marriage. Therefore they like people who get married. There are some who don't want to ever get married but they still like married people.
A live-in relationship is one in which two people, who are not married decide to live together.....
Some people decide to get married because they want to move out of their parent's house and some people get pregnant. Marriage is sacred and should only be done if the couple truly love one another.
When you are in a stable relationship and happy, then you can decide to move to the other stage, which is marriage.
Let him decide. You wouldn't want to be in the same situation his wife is in would you?
As long as he is married, you can't marry him. You'll have to decide after he's divorced whether you still want him.
It depends on what you want for that person. If you want them to have a good life then of course go for it!!=)
There is never a shortage of people or animals needing help; it is up to the individual to decide where his or her interests lie. You get to decide if you want to help puppies, and others get to decide if they want to help puppies, or perhaps kittens.
Yes, your parent can decide who you visit or see especially if you are still a minor. Concerned parents do not want you to hang around with the wrong kind of people. That's why most parents suggest to meet the person that your visiting or seeing.
If they want to.
