Do you think one should be bold and couregous enough to ask the partner for marriage, as in many relations couple love each other and at the end of the day they are so weak to say to get married... ? What u say what is the best tym to propose for the marriage and relly to get into the relation...

When the time is right the couple will opt to get married. I would say the best to get married would be when the couple is prepared for all future obligations that come with the life time commitment. Timing for one is not always ideal for others, but if the couple fully understands the give and take commitment they will know it and be ready.

There isn't a best time for marriage. When a couple is in a relationshiop for too long, their feelings might become stagnant while one of the two will be more than happy to let their relationship stay that way, seeing no need for marriage. For some, getting married just about 2-4years of courtship, might not even be long enough for them to fully understand each other well. It's easy to see other, but it's hard to be living together because of different habits.

Are you emotionally prepared? Financially stable? spiritually ready? Marriage is a commitment, it is not just for a play or game that once you are done, you can get out of it easily. If you think that both of you are responsible enough to handle a relationship and start a family, and you both are financially secured in which you won't be bothering your folks for financial support as you start your own, then probably that is the right time to settle down. But if you think your career is just starting and you don't have enough savings yet and you are still developing your relationship with your gf, then just let time passed by and grow to mature more before settling down. Anyway, it was just my suggestion and own opinion. I don't know what you have in mind.

I don't think there is a right time of day. The time is right differently for every couple. I think being open to the moment is important. I don't think a woman should ever propose marriage. But, I sure do drop hints a lot. And I think it is important for a girl to make sure the guy knows she will be open to it should the time come. Many guys are afraid of rejection so they never ask.

The reason why most men don't have the courage to propose is because they're not yet ready to do it. One has to be prepared emotionally, mentally, and financially. If one has decided to do it and has prepared for it, then proposing will just come out spontaneously. It's not just about emotions, it's about perfect timing and preparation too.

Yes they should. They should say their seriousness in this case. Marriage is a great moment, and should happen once. I've got wonderful plan on that. I would pop her into question with a thousand love poems, lol. But that's right. I wanna such moment be so wonderful. Coz I just wanna have that time once in life.

Depends. Some people aren't ready for marriage. I made it clear to my boyfriend that I am not ready for marriage or that type of commitment. He knows that and respects that because he isn't ready either. Some people when they get into a relationship, it is all about marriage. Life isn't about marriage. You can be happy and not be married. Look at Gene Simmons from KISS and his "common law wife", they have been together for years, and they have never been officially married and they are happy with things being just the way they are, they have no intention of ever getting married because Gene Simmons doesn't believe in marriage. Truth be told, I don't really believe in marriage either. I have seen too many people get divorced in my family, so I have a somewhat negative view on marriage. I am not telling people not to get married, but I am saying it isn't for everyone.

If you love someone and are committed to them you should not be afraid to ask them to marry you. If you see a future between the two of you, marriage is the logical next step to take.

I think it would depend on both side if they are really ready to have their relationship be taken to the next level.

If your ready. No best time to proposed as everyday you have to treat your partner as you day, everyday. Treat them as your golden crystals. If your ready to have your own family and financial, emotional stabled so you can do as soon as possible the proposal. No right time but now. As far as you like to do it so.
