It all started when you met someone, felt the spark, started dating, and now you seem destined together. As you spend more time together, the connection grows stronger.
It is not uncommon for you to wonder at some point if you are sure about getting married. Since marriage is both a beautiful phenomenon and requires the right timing, it is often recommended that we examine our relationship carefully before going ahead with it.
As you shop for gifts for your family and friends, you already know their likes and dislikes and how they will react to your gift. The same goes for knowing your potential spouse’s personality before deciding whether you are ready to get married.
Here are some things you can look out for that will help you make a decision.
You share similar values:
Couples, friends, and even families are much more likely to form strong bonds when they share values. A relationship built on shared values will last for years and years. It is not necessary, however, for your partner to share every value you hold. Aren’t their own values important to them? The essentials of life should be held in common, and then everything else will fall into place.
When you are mature:
It’s a big step to getting engaged or married. Getting into a relationship like this for a lifetime requires a certain level of maturity. Truth be told, there is no perfect age to get married. Rather, it is the level of maturity one attains that determines when one is ready for marriage. Therefore, if you and your partner are mature enough for each other, you’re set.
If you open your heart to every conversation:
A healthy relationship depends on communication. Nonetheless, I believe that a couple must be open to every conversation. Whether it is their finances, their past, or even the type of poop they poo. It’s what makes a relationship last. It ain’t gonna stop you and your partner from cutting your anniversary cake until your hair turns gray if you share such a relationship.
Stable in terms of finances:
When you’re madly in love with someone, it’s natural to want to get married without thinking about many aspects, right? However, there’s one thing you should never overlook. I’m repeating, “Never.” Before you get into a relationship where you have to take care of things mutually, you should be financially stable.
If you’re up for future problems:
It’s easy to fall in love, easy to get married, and easy to live together. What isn’t so easy is overcoming life’s challenges with determination. You should be 100% confident that your partner will stand by your side when you face any challenge in life. You should go ahead if you are sure they have strong intentions.
When you’re both ready to grow as a team:
At each stage of life, you and your partner should push each other to grow. The driving force for growth needs to be your partner, whether it be financial, spiritual, mental, or anything else.
It’s safe to assume by now that you’ve concluded whether it’s the right time to make the big move, right? Throughout this process, you should speak with yourself and with your partner to ensure that you are ready for it. If you feel you are ready for it, I look forward to receiving an invitation to your wedding!
