I have been together with my boyfriend for nearly four years. We are planning to buy a house,before we move into the new house,we want to register as husband and wife. I am still thinking and considering,is this the right time for us to get married? I am 25 years old this year. We plan to get married next year. Everything seems running smoothly,maybe I am the one who is thinking too much. Am I? Please help,thanks for the advice.

The age old question that really no one can answer for us but ourselves. I'm 22 been engaged for 3 years (since I was 19) and will be married in a month. It's never about age but your 1. maturity and 2. how prepared you personally are to get married. Of course you'll have second thoughts but that's the part of sorting everything out. It's a huge step and one that shouldn't be taken lightly (which you aren't). Relax a bit though. Your asking why when you should be asking why not? Why shouldn't you get married next year. What is it that you are personally worried about if you get married? Finances? Jobs? Personal issues?. These are questions you should be asking yourself. WHy not get married what are your reasoning. Then peg it against the reasonings of why you should get married. This is something you must do on your own not with anyone else. Turn to your insides and have a heart to heart with what you personally want. Remember being nervous is a part of the process. It's an exciting yet unknown move. If you have nothing to lose then go for it. But if you have everything to loose then I strongly suggest you reconsider getting that house. Again this is you who needs to answer this question not us. When is the right time to get married? You'll just know...

getting married is one of the risks that you must take in your life. once you are married everything going to be shared. SO if you very excited a buying anew house just make sure you partner like it

You don't have to feel pressure to get married if your not ready. There is really no definite age when a person should marry, but I won't suggest getting married at a young age, it depends on how ready you are for such commitment. If you feel that you are both emotional and financially ready, then go for it!

when you have enough savings for 1. the wedding 2. to take care of the hospital bill when you have babies 3. baby diapers, milk, medicines, vitamins, check ups, etc 4.the school tuition fees etc for your kids 5 the house you will be living in with your husband and kids and others. getting married means you have to think not only of yourselves but also of your kids, are you earning enough to be able to raise your kids? or will you go to your parents when you need money? getting married means you can now be responsible and raise your own family and not rely on your parents or siblings for money

I think you're moving along just fine! As long as you are certain this is the person you want to spend the rest of your life with, why not take the plunge? It will be the happiest day of your life :-)

When you say you've been together for almost four years, have you been living together for any amount of time? I like the fact that you are 25 and that everything is running smooth. Even if you were 21, I would say it's too soon. And you are planning to buy a house, anyway and that's a big commitment. The only concern I would have is you want to register as husband and wife before you move into the house, which is not a good reason to get married. But maybe now I'm thinking too much. After all, me and my girlfriend bought a house together too. We never did get married and she said she doesn't want to. I would like to have a wedding. Actually, I say get married and if you've never lived together, remember There's going to be a bunch of things he does you are going to discover that you don't like and there's going to be things you do he's not going to like. Don't let those things cause trouble that breaks you up. Same thing with him. concentrate on whaqt you two love about each other and stay together forever.

Its is very necessary to be strong enough, to be grown and to be ready enough from all the possible ways to get married, because marriage is something which after that we have a lot big responsibility on us and if we dont make a point to follow it, it proves we are not a good person who can maintain relations at some points. we need to be prepared mentally and physically and well as financially to give a wholeheart to our partner. it is very necessary that we are financially safe and mentally agreed to follow up our life with that particular person. then i think we are ready to get married and most important is we should be happy with what decision we make..
