Are You Ready For Marriage? Here Are 4 Signs You Are Ready To Get Married

Marriage should never be taken lightly. Getting married is one of the most important decisions you will ever make and it will affect every aspect of your life. Knowing for sure if you are ready for marriage is important before you propose or say yes to a marriage proposal.

Bustle shared some of the most telling signs you are ready to get married. Proposing or agreeing to a marriage proposal without being sure you are ready to get married can spell disaster for you and your partner.

1. You say "when" and not "if" when talking about your future together.

Saying "if" instead of "when" signifies that you are not very comfortable thinking about your future together. A person who is ready for marriage feels absolutely happy and excited thinking about a future with his or her partner. Feeling no hesitance about your future with each other is one of the biggest signs you are ready to get married.

2. You have the same vision and values about relationship.

Do both of you believe in monogamy? Do both of you want a relationship that will last a lifetime? How does each of you feel about divorce? It is okay to have differences but you still have to share the same values and vision regarding your relationship and how to treat each other.

3. You settle arguments peacefully.

How a couple settles a dispute can reveal a lot about their future together. If your relationship conflicts always end up in an exchange of hurtful words and actions, then both of you might need to work on your relationship first.

4. You appreciate each other's uniqueness.

People usually display their best side during the beginning of a relationship. As time passes by, the "uglier" side of people that is unique, strange and somewhat embarrassing starts to reveal itself. If you do not appreciate these unique and hidden things about your partner, you might not be ready yet to get married.

5. You love being together.

Enjoying your time together even after a few hours of being together is a great way to know if you are ready for marriage. "When you make a point of being together, without kids, pets and other interruptions, you will form a bond that will get you through life's rough spots," PsychCentral shares.
