Have you finally found a girl you really click with, and are thinking about your future together?<\/p>\n
Do you like the sound of your last name at the end of her name?<\/p>\n
Today we\u2019re going to be delving into how to tell if you\u2019re truly ready for marriage, and whether the girl you\u2019re with is really The One.<\/p>\n
Because as has been shown in surveys, a guy\u2019s decision to marry is usually based around half on finding the right woman, and half on feeling like he is ready to settle down.<\/p>\n
So even when you do feel like you\u2019ve met the perfect woman for you, it\u2019s important to make sure you are 100% ready for the commitment of marriage before you think about proposing.<\/p>\n
Marriage is an amazing step in your life but it also requires total commitment, love and trust between partners in order to last the distance.<\/p>\n
So if you\u2019re thinking you ARE ready for marriage, or just want to find out the things to be sure of before getting married, check out the signs below.<\/p>\n
Signs you are headed into wedded bliss:<\/p>\n
1. You feel ready to settle down<\/strong><\/p>\n While the thought of being with one girl for life used to send you into a wild panic, the idea of sharing your life with your current girlfriend doesn\u2019t feel too bad at all. In fact, it makes you feel pretty warm and fuzzy inside.<\/p>\n You\u2019ve gone through the stage in your life where fun, freedom and playing the field was the main focus.<\/p>\n But casual flings, wild parties, and spontaneous roadtrips in your mate\u2019s van have all lost a bit of their shine. You yearn for a deep-down connection with someone and a more stable lifestyle.<\/p>\n At this stage you\u2019re probably also thinking about other major goals you want to achieve in life – such as becoming a father, owning a house, and building your career.<\/p>\n The thought of spending the rest of your life with your girlfriend is something you happily anticipate, rather than something which fills you with dread.<\/p>\n If this isn\u2019t you, you probably aren\u2019t yet ready for marriage, or the girl you are with may not be the one for you. Never let anyone pressure you into marriage if you\u2019re not ready.<\/p>\n 2. You see marriage as a good thing<\/strong><\/p>\n In order to be ready to make the commitment of marriage, you need to feel positively about marriage in general. There\u2019s no point entering into something you already feel is doomed to fail.<\/p>\n Do you believe in marriage and think that it can last? Do you look positively at the marriages of other people in your life?<\/p>\n If you still see marriage as being a great thing, in the face of throwbacks like ugly divorce statistics, then a happily married future is ahead of you.<\/p>\n 3. You know her flaws and still want to be with her<\/strong><\/p>\n You\u2019ve been with your girl for long enough to realize that she is actually an imperfect human just like the rest of us.<\/p>\n But strangely, although habits of past girlfriends may have got on your nerves to the point where you couldn\u2019t live with them anymore, your girl\u2019s bad habits don\u2019t seem to bother you.<\/p>\n In fact, you tend to look on them with fondness and amusement. This is a clear sign that you have well and truly entered the realm of true love.<\/p>\n 4. You are comfortable making future plans with her<\/strong><\/p>\n Marriage is a life-long commitment. Therefore, it requires you to start thinking long-term about your goals and desires. And of course, it requires that your girl is in your visions for the future.<\/p>\n In your current relationship, are you comfortable making plans with your girl for one, two, or five years down the track?<\/p>\n Have you talked seriously about what you both want for the future? For instance, whether or not you both want children, where your career paths are headed, and where you want to be living?<\/p>\n Are your life dreams compatible? Can you see her being the mother of your children?<\/p>\n If so, marriage should come as a natural progression in your relationship \u2013 you\u2019re already halfway there.<\/p>\n 5. Life is better together than apart <\/strong><\/p>\n While a few years back you may have seen being in a relationship as holding you back from life\u2019s adventures, you no longer desire to be out there on your own. In fact, you have a lot more fun WITH your girlfriend than without.<\/p>\n You find yourself wanting to share every new life experience with her.<\/p>\n It\u2019s not that you NEED her to always be by your side, but you find yourself really WANTING her there. A beautiful sunset, or an exciting new place, is just not the same when she\u2019s not experiencing it with you.<\/p>\n And when she goes away, you find your mind wondering what she\u2019s up to every few minutes of the day, and wishing you could be there with her.<\/p>\n 6. You have a sense of stability in your life<\/strong><\/p>\n Do you feel pretty comfortable with where you\u2019re at right now? Is your life on track? Are you working towards your goals?<\/p>\n It\u2019s hard to make a commitment like marriage if the rest of your life is in turmoil.<\/p>\n If you aren\u2019t feeling secure financially, or don\u2019t yet have your career on track, it\u2019s perfectly understandable that you may not feel ready for marriage until these are no longer a worry for you.<\/p>\n Because going into marriage when your life is still undergoing a lot of changes can add a lot of pressure to your relationship.<\/p>\n It\u2019s pretty important you and your girlfriend both know where you\u2019re going and have compatible life goals before you think about marriage.<\/p>\n After all, that\u2019s why they call it \u2018settling down\u2019, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n 7. You consider her a part of your family, and yourself a part of hers<\/strong><\/p>\n You\u2019ve got to know each other\u2019s families so well they\u2019re like your own, and are on a nickname-basis with each other\u2019s friends.<\/p>\n Your family loves her, and the idea of her having your last name makes you feel all warm and gooey inside.<\/p>\n Although I understand that this isn\u2019t always the case in every family, your parents and siblings usually have your best interests at heart, and if they think that she is perfect for you, then she probably is.<\/p>\n 8. You\u2019ve got that gut feeling<\/strong><\/p>\n When you\u2019re with your girl or are thinking about her, you just know that she\u2019s The One. You\u2019ve never had any doubts about your love for her \u2013 it just feels right.<\/p>\n No other woman has ever made you feel quite like this, and you can\u2019t imagine your life without her.<\/p>\n If you have gone through all of the signs in this post thinking \u2018yes, this is exactly where I\u2019m at\u2019, then all I can suggest from here is that you may want to go and pay your local jewellers a visit \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Good luck, and long may it last.<\/p>\n Brooke Ryan Have you finally found a girl you really click with, and are thinking about your future together?
