Marriage! How do you know if you are ready to spend the rest of your life with someone or not?

I think about this a lot. Having been in a long term relationship, it crosses my mind regularly.
First thing I believe is, if you are questioning it, you probably arent ready to commit to a marriage.
Second thing I believe, if you are questioning it, it is a good thing. Some people act irrationally and jump into things without much thought. It is good to really think things over. I know the two things seem slightly contradictory, but there is truth in both.
Honestly, I think you will know when you are ready. I wont know when you are ready, and your closest friends and family wont know. Only you can decide for sure. Take things slow, live with the person, grow with the person, and you will know when the time is right.
You could be OK with living together, and spending lots of time together, which would be great.
You might feel like it is too much time together, which means you should distance yourself a bit and give it more time.
You could also feel like you want more. More commitment, more dedication, and just more from the relationship. In that case, you might feel like marriage would be a good next step.
Evaluate your relationship and see where you are. Take things at a pace that is comforable with you. Marriage is a big step and isnt for everyone, but like I said, it could be for you!
I hope I helped... ~~
Let me know how things go.
