How will I know when I'm ready to be married?

When you can feel that you're already happy and contented with the one you have.

When there is so little doubt, you don't feel the need to ask that question (serious not sarcasm)

When your boy/girlfriend says yes.

Only you know yourself well enough to answer that question. I am somewhat of a "Dr. Phil fan" so i am going to advice you that if you really want to know if you are ready to get married answer some of his questions he has posted on his web site. When i had a question of if i was ready to be a mother, I answered his questions on that and they are tough, to the point, and true. So if you are ready to be honest with yourself then he has the best questions you should ask yourself. So just try it, it will at least make you understand a little more if nothing else.

Look at what you don't like in a person. Ask your
self "Can I live with this all my life?"
The answer comes from the heart.

When the "spectre" of marriage was looming over me, I asked my dad that same question, before he passed away months later. His answer was that I would "know" because I would feel emotionally mature and ready to face challenges together, on the basis of knowing the other person. His answer was very logical, but I was not too satisfied with it, since he had been in two marriages and both kind of didn't work in different ways.
Then he actually came back to me days later and said "about what you asked me the other day, about getting married, I've thinking about it, and the truth is: you don't know when you're ready". This time I believed him since I could feel the honesty in his answer and start to see him more as a human being and less like a father figure.
Then I guess I "wanted" to be ready, in a way, and the feeling of being ready came to me one morning after some short dream about the future. "Ready" just meant that instead of fear I had a different type of feeling, like hope mixed with fear, like when you make a gamble where you're convinced that your intentions affect the outcome.

When you realize that you are taking a risk of loosing everything material, but it doesn't matter. Nothing matters but being with your friend (spouse).

moltenlava

When you don't have to ask a bunch of strangers if you're ready.

dave

I imagine that you'll know when you are, you just have to trust your heart, and follow the path God leads you on.

trashy_bumper

its very simple, when you both stand next to the priest, he will ask you a qeustion, look at your man, you will have like a second to lie or not

ashley s

u will know when u find the love of ur life responsible and mature enough

stylingsarah

It sounds like you are having doubts,so not now.You will know when you meet someone and you can't live without them. The next step is marriage.Some people actually don't want to do that and just live common-law.What ever is your fancy.Its up to you,and no one else.

You just know

Like love and hate you just know

1. When you cannot achieve your happiness without this other person.

2. When you are competent enough to support such a marriage.

3. When you are certain you can stand on your own two feet and support your own living.

Marriage is like a child. You must feed, nurture, and lead it to maturity. Love will NOT be a cure all for anyone. It's hard work worth doing well.

Truth is that you will never be truely sure. you might be 100% sure your ready but when you do, you'll reget it. Or you can be so unsure and go with it anyways and actually be happy you made the decision. either way marriage is never a sure thing.

sista!

hmmm, when will i know when i'm ready? timing is a big issue.
many people got married because their biological clock is ticking, so they get hitched to the one they love.
BUT, many people didn't get married to the one they REALLY love, because timing ain't right.
so, why do you wanna get married?
i wish you joy, happiness & love. cheers!

drukqs

the question is not "can i live _with_ this person the rest of my life?" but "can i live _without_ this person for the rest of my life?"

Sully

When you've met someone who care about a lot and they equally care about you.

pcmarar

You will only know that when you are ready to marry is when you think u are settled in life with a good job or have plenty of money in your hand.Then if you have a good job you will be think of a good girl who is pleasant looking.Then if the girl is not working for that also should be prepared, other wise it is difficult to marry

Males:
Take a look between your legs. If they are dropped, might want to wait. If they are hiding, then you are ready to get married.

Females:
You are always ready to get married, why not, worst case scenario you get half!

kurtrisser

If you do find someone so committed and wonderful- and you *both want* to get married- then do it. Both partners must be determined to make the marriage last forever; it is not for everybody.

But do not assume that marriage is part of your destiny. Many happy lives are spent by the unmarried, and many years of misery too often spent by the married.

Do not do it if only one of you wants it- marrying just to make the other happy plants the seed of future unhappiness.

Marrying because your family expects it is a bad idea as well.

Many couples live happy lives together both with, and without marriage. What is really important is love and *committment*.

When you dont have to ask this question.

Beth

I know everyone says this, but it's true: you just know.

jIMBO

OT WILL BE A NATURAL FEELING WHEN YOU KNOW THAT THIS IS THE PERSON YOU WANT TO WAKE UP TO AND ENJOY THE FRIENDSHIP,LOVE, AND THAT YOU WANT TO SHARE A LIFE WITH SOMEONE WITH WHOM YOU WANT TO HAVE A FAMILY WITH AND GROW OLD TOGETHER. SOMEONE THAT THROUGH THICK AND THIN YOU WILL BOTH SEE IT THROUGH TOGETHER...

When you are comfortable being single. You can't incorporate someone else's life with yours until you are comfortable with yours. Really has a lot to do with being ready to give up a lot personally because you love someone else enough to do so. I approached marriage from a standpoint where I based my expectations on what i would expect my self to do. If you are ready to do that type of introspection and self analysis have at it my friend it is the best thing you can do!
