When do you know you are ready for marriage?

I am 20 years old and I have been with my boyfriend for a year and a half. I want to marry him, but I know that it is too soon. I would like some opinions on what is a good age to get married and how long you should be with a person before getting engaged.When do you know you are ready for marriage?
You have a better chance of guessing the lottery numbersWhen do you know you are ready for marriage?
That's how long my parents were together for, before they were married, and at about your age. They've been together for over 26 years now. So, no, it's not too early.





I would say that you two should really see if you can stay together through a time of life change, like from college into the work force, or something similar. If you two can stay together through that, marry whenever. Just when you're comfortable, and sure that you want to absolutely live together for the rest of your lives. That's when.
You have to actually love that person, not just like. You would want to be with him for the rest of your life. I would say 27 or 28 is a good age to get married. You also have to be ready to marry emotionally and financially. When you get married, there will be lots of bills to pay.
I don't think age matters as much as what you have going for you. You need a college degree, a job and a few years of living on your own so you know what ';you'; are like. As soon as you are ready for marriage you will know. I have always thought 26 is a good age.
omg no enjoy life first! go to collage and get what you need in life! just live a little... life is not about marriage at your age sometimes we make that mistake by thinking life is all roses married we think we are in love get to know him!! a year and half is not really good at all! sometimes we need to look inside and out in them... make sure they are the ones, make sure we are what they want...make sure they are a man of there word and will love us forever!!! yeah don't just think cause you have been with a boy for a year and half that he is the one he could be but enjoy life meet other people and live!!!
you don't... nobody ever truly knows who they are marrying, because it takes a lifetime to know someone.





and to be honest, all the advice in the world couldn't give you the experience required and learned throughout a marriage.





you only know your ready when you heart is 100% devoted to it, if its 99% devoted... then your not ready.
actually there is no set age on when one should get married..


but first and foremost u must be ';past the bloom of youth';..


it means ur not a youth anymore or in a very young age..


another thing, r u finished schooling?


do u have work?


ARE YOU REALLY READY TO GET MARRIED?


do u have the qualities and the capabilities of being a good wife?


are u responsible enough?


theres also the possibility of u having children..


r u ready to be a mother?


u know baby..


MARRIAGE IS NOT LIKE A HOT FOOD THAT WHEN U EAT IT AND U GOT BURNED IN THE MOUTH, U CAN JUST VOMIT IT OUT..


it is a lifelong commitment,a permanent one..


so dont rush into getting married..


LOVE IS NOT THE ONLY CRITERIA..


dont get fooled by it..


maybe one day u just woke up and realize that ur nor really ready for marriage..


YOU JUST GOT UR HEAD BANGED TO THE WALLS OF REALITY..


you can also ask the advice of ur parents..


its very important..


they can help u in deciding..


the've been there before..





hope this will help..
I agree.Know who you are and what you can do before you marry.And be ready to take care of yourself.Divorce,accidents and illness sometimes make it necessary for you to be the one to hold the family together.
be in love,have the same dreams as you. moved out of mommies house,and 100% out on your own.have a stable career.and independent. then i say,you are ready to marry.personally.i would think the perfect age is 25.
after you've stood on your own two feet for awhile. After you've finished college and started your carreer. Why be in a hurry, if you love each other it won't matter.
you know your ready to marry when you look at the person and know you do not want to spent the rest of your life without them
