So my boy and I have been discussing the idea of getting married. We will have dated for three years in August and think that we'll maybe be engaged by the same time next year. We've also been living together for about a year and we're both happy with that decision. I'm feeling really good about the decision although I think I'm just as scared as ( Read more... )

congrats on your decision! you're right, it's exciting but can be scary. may I ask what you see as the benefits of planning to get married soon? Are you two hoping to start a family? Maybe buy a house together or share insurance-- is it a financial decision? Do you just feel like it's time, and why do you feel that way?

I know I'm so pragmatic about romance things I should be shot in the face:) I AM happy for you, I'm not completely against marriage or anything, I just wonder these things when people make decisions and I always feel weird asking. We should hang out sometime if you don't want to type some involved answer to the world :)

/Thanks LJ!

I think Sara and I are thinking along the same lines here, especially about being pragmatic. Are there any particular benefits to getting married sooner rather than later? If he is at all nervous about it, I think you should definitely wait. If you're going to spend your whole lives together, there's really no reason not to go slow.

I am going to think like a girl and agree with the other girls. I will also put on a dress for the duration of this comment. But at the same time, I am also happy with the idea. You two balance each other so very well together and it is good to see you both continue to be happy. I would be nervous too, if only because it brings a lot to mind like the other ladies wrote. But still, if you both think about it and the idea makes you both happy, then that is a good thing.

If you both are happy and in love, that's amazing! It is normal to be nervous - marriage is work (but absolutely worth every second)!

Congrads!

Thanks hon! You and Jonas are a good example of when people are right for each other than the work and the hard times make it worthwhile.
