Do you know if you are ready for marriage?

“You just know” is the common saying amongst married couples. Whether they’ve been married for several years or they are newlyweds, there’s a certain spark that happened at the right time of their lives. It sounds cliché, but you do meet the right person at the right time of your life. And that person does complete you.

So how can you know whether you and your partner are ready for marriage?

They become your best friend.

You notice that the person becomes the person that you can trust with anything and everything. You trust them with your cherished secrets, you trust them with your finances, and you trust that they will continue to add value to your life.

You enjoy a joint lifestyle together.

You find that the two of you do everything together and that your lifestyle becomes a combined one. You are in constant communication throughout the day and in your spare time, you want to spend it in the company with the person that you love.

If you find yourself no longer socialising as someone that is ‘single’ and instead find yourself planning things like getaways, meetups and holidays as a couple, it is a sign that you are ready to embrace a joint lifestyle together.

You want to enjoy a future together with that person.

The biggest sign is that you cannot image your life without this person. The future for the both of you is one of happiness. You can see yourself growing as a person with your partner and in turn, they grow with you. The two of you rub positive energy on one another, which makes you better people. And the two of you are happy to be in each others company while the both of you continue on your life’s journey.

Everything just clicks.

This is one of those things that you cannot explain. It seems like everything just fits and it just works. You are on the same page about most of the things that you want to get out of life. And you just start migrating towards it. The family home, the family holidays and building the family. Your relationship just works and you are happy about it.

You are prepared to go through some of the ups and downs with this person.

No relationship is perfect, but you notice that you are prepared to go on your life’s adventure with this person. You will enjoy the perfect moments in your relationship, but you are prepared to go through the tough times and learn from them so you can build a stronger and more loving relationship in the future.

You are happy.

Ultimately, the two of you are happy. If you find yourself waking up everyday excited to pursue the next day of adventure with your partner, and your ‘sixth sense’ keeps on telling you that this person needs to be in your life, it’s likely that you have found the one.
