lexigirl	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.

SkyRaider	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.

My Big Bear Ron	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. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

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. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

jeramynfeucht	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! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
