I'm not sure I ever want kids...as I see them as a long term expense. I have no issue with other people having them, but it's one of those things you have to want 110% before you go there.

If you are a practical person and you ask yourself that then you'll never really ready, there's never a good time for it. It's a big step, a new beginning of your life. Just have confidence and go for it without hesitation. "If you think you can live togther then you'r ready" thats the hidden truth.

If you are a romantic person then it's easier, you'll just know. Your heart will send you signs so "follow you heart".

For me: When I couldn't imagine waking up in the morning without seeing him, or hearing his voice. But I don't think there is one right answer to your question.

If the thought of spending 24-7 time with that special someone gives you a very warm fuzzy feeling then you are ready. If that thought scares you or make you uncomfortable then you may not be ready.

I don't think you're ever "really ready". However, you just need to be mature enough to make and follow through on a commitment to your future spouse.

Aside from being mature, I don't think there's any set way to tell if you're ready for marriage or not.

I don't know. Marriage is tougher than most people realize until you're in the thick of it. Even people who think they're ready may not be. Perhaps it's easier to know the second time around. Hopefully I don't have to find that out.

Everything just feels right, and you have no second thoughts.

...I have yet to experience this feeling, so I'm not married. lol.

It just feels right and you are happy about the future of married life. It feels freeing and not like a trap. Not like the end, but an incredible adventure.

I can't really say. My guess would be when the couple stops romanticzing it, and gets down to the nitty gritty of daily life BEFORE problems arise.

That's a good answer, seeing things for how they are instead of how you wish them to be is a VERY important step before you marry someone.
