Okay, so I've been wondering about something & I wanted to hear you guys opinions.
My boyfriend & I have been together for five years & we are both twenty one. I love him, I'm in love with him & there is no one else I'd rather be with. We're still young so we don't really talk about marriage but here & there we do say things like "when we get married..." & stuff like that. The other day when we were together we were talking about weddings & how my culture's weddings differ from his & he said he'd want to get married at a court house because it doesn't cost a lot. Then he said or he'd want to get married on an island & only our close relatives would be invited, like his mom & my mom. I know I want to marry him in the future & I've never straight up asked him "do you wanna marry me" but I think, well, if he's been in a relationship this long with me doesn't that obviously mean something? Like apparently he wants a future with me if he's been by my side for five years now? But then again I think, just because we've been together for so long doesn't mean marriage is definite, you know?
So my question is, do you guys think that when a couple has been together for so long that it means marriage is in the future? Are people in long relationships because they want to get married eventually? Ugh, in my head I know what I'm trying to ask but I can't seem to get it out the way I want it to but I guess these questions will do. Haha. Thanks for reading this & all opinions are appreciated!

not all people are interested in getting married. i would say a great majority are, but some people just think that you don't need a title to prove your love to people and that actions and words are much stronger than titles. people aren't always in long term relationships to get married. everything is an experience and that makes everything practice for something else. just because someone is in a long relationship doesn't mean that they want to get married, maybe they just want the experience of a long term relationship and/or will end up changing their mind and wanting to or actually get married.
