Is Your Relationship Headed for Marriage?

So you’re in love and you believe you found “the one.” Your relationship has been humming along quite nicely. Even your parents like him! You think enough time has gone by. Not to mention, several holidays too. Holidays with perfect opportunities for gifts. But, still no ring.

如果你的关系是很难判断的headed for marriage。你可能不想用这么严肃的谈话来摇滚船。但与此同时，你当然不想浪费你的时间。

Tell-Tale Signs He Might Be the One

1.He references the future, with you included and does so often! Gone are the "ifs." It's notifwe do this or that, it becomeswhenwe do this or that. Whether it is planning a vacation, purchasing a home, or attending a friend’s wedding next year, it is obvious that you are on his mind. He is no longer thinking about his singlehood but what it will be like as a permanent couple. He has communicated in both words and behaviors that you have a future together.

2.He asks your opinion on important life decisions. Things are no longer viewed as only impacting him alone. If he is offered a job in another state or he is not sure what to do about his ailing grandmother, he seeks out your input. It becomes a discussion and not a unilateral decision.

3.You are always welcome at family gatherings and he attends most of yours as well. His family accepts you and yours accept him. It seems like a natural fit. It's a bonus if his mother always asks if you’re coming and is disappointed if you aren't.

4.即使你遇到了一些粗糙的补丁，他仍然存在。也许你失去了工作，经历了延长的疾病或打破了你的腿。他和情感支持就在那里。他甚至可能提供财政支持（当然，你没有服用），但它让你感到安全。或者也许你有一个令人讨厌的pms剧集或者big blow-upover something. If he still didn't bail, chances are he's not ever going to.

5.He demonstrates that he believes in marriage and is not fearful ofmaking such a life-long commitment。It's a really optimistic sign if he has apositive attitudetowards intimacy and commitment. He is thoughtful about marriage, won't jump in or rush, but at the same time is more than willing to take the risk on love if it feels right.

6。You have a lot in common, including a few weird or quirky things. You might have a similar sense of humor or a particular habit that you both do. It seems as if you both really get each other.

7。The dead giveaway: you overhear him asking someone about diamonds or he starts to notice or comment on other women's engagement rings! If this happens, he is definitely thinking about proposing and chances are sooner rather than later.

You do want to be patient. Seeing all or some of these signs should help you know deep down that this guy isn’t going anywhere. There’s no reason to take the romance out of the process by being pushy or always starting up conversations about your future.

Alternatively, if you have been patient and you either do not see these signs or worse, he has been inconsistent in his behavior, it is time to have a sit-down talk. You will have to take a risk about expressing yourfeelings并与他一起检查。你最终可能会伤心欲绝。但是，如果这是你的目标，你不想进入任何时间和能量的时间和能量。
