First off, make sure your not being blinded by that early part of a relationship where everything is all roses and wine.  Take some time to be realistic about really look at the relationship closely.  Liveing together will give you some idea about what it would be like to be married to someone but it won't give you the whole picture.  If after all that your still feeling the same way, just start by mentioning little things about marriage to him to see if it will start a conversation that will reveal his thoughts.

When it feels like it would be the logical next step.\nAsk yourself the following questions....\n\n1. Do we love, trust and respect each other?\n2. Do we share the same expectations of marriage? \n3. Do we share things in common that make us shout, cry and laugh? \n4. Do we agree on major life issues, such as children, family and friends, where we'll live and style of living? \n5. Do we have a way of managing conflict? \n6. Do we share the same views on infidelity and commitment to avoiding temptation? \n7. Do we love each other just the way we are today, without any hidden agenda to try to change the other?\nYou don't have to agree on everything. The important thing is that you and your partner have talked through these questions and both feel confident you can live and work together, knowing what the other believes

If you just met him, first you have to pray and ask God if He is the right one and you have to get married then you can let him move with you since you are more established. remember you are not a cat or a dog you can't just move in with a man and start having babies. come on you can do better than that.

Dating is a "mating dance" and we show each other our "best". Once marriage is achieved, it's too easy to fall into "routine". You need time for yourselves to keep the romance alive. Have someone babysit and go out for dinner & a movie once a month or so. Go dancing, if that's what you used to do. Couples will stop doing some of the fun things they did before they got married. They need to keep doing the fun things together.

Etiquette and tradition state that the man should ask the bride's father for her hand and then propose to her.\n\nWell, throw etiquette out the window and think about it for yourself. \nAre you ready to get married? \nDo you want to propose?\n\nGo for it! It's unexpected, it's romantic, and above all else, it could be you! I promise if the woman proposes, nobody will walk up to her and say, "No, you can't get married until he asks you." \n\nTime's are changing so etiquette just needs to catch up!
