It’s that time of the year when family, friends and acquaintances are getting married left and right; so many women simply want to be June brides. In the excitement of other couples’ wedding preparations, some of you may find yourselves wondering if you and your boyfriend should get hitched soon, too.
Before you broach the idea to your guy, ask yourself: do you really want to be with this person for the rest of your life? Here are a few signs that you and your partner are ready to take that next big step in your relationship.
You’re done playing the field. Or as eHarmony.com puts it, you’re ready to burn the proverbial little black book. AskMen.com reveals that when a man tires of the booze and casual sex the singles scene offers and would much rather hang at home with his girl, he’s well on his way to settling down.
You enjoy being together. It won’t be all fireworks once the two of you are married. There would be bills to pay and dishes to wash, and you have to genuinely like each other enough to stick together through it all. As AskMen.com points out, it helps if you can’t imagine your partner out of your life, weird quirks and all.
You make long-term plans together. According to eHarmony.com, one of the signs you’re ready to settle down is when you start making long-term goals as a couple, such as buying a house, moving to another city, or having kids. Just planning a vacation a year in advance shows that you know you’ll still be together when another year comes around.
